Discuss, starting....now.

Road first. We don't need the mine for some time, but we do need the mobility to defend the mined sheep.

I think there was a lot of support for naming the first skirm 'Zidane'.

DeepO suggested a road or two towards Vox, to shave a turn or so off transport time. I think we should consider that.

[Ennet]

Roading the hill is a good idea, it'll let us defend the sheep from pillagers as Nye stated and will also possibly save us a turn of worker movement later. So road and mine the sheep, then either road two tiles towards Vox, chop a forest or build a camp on that dear hill (that will add an additional 2 food right? making it a 3f 1h 1c tile?) but its a way of and would require two turns of movement before it can get there and the tile would be suboptimal for defence.

Road

Do we have plans to get a camp up on the deer soon?

As for a road toward Vox, we could (after dealing with the hill) move to the forest tile "3" of EotS and road that. Then we could either go for the deer, or continue eastward roading toward Vox.

Check it out - a forest has grown 8 from Grog - blocking his line of sight to The Voice.

Were there no better alternatives for SB/Skirm movement, then?

Losing the line of sight into their cap is annoying, but more difficult terrain is likely to our advantage given that we're choking.

13 point jump for ACen score (last turn they grew 7 as well). Soldiers increased by 6000. I'm not sure if they are related until I look further.

What I can say is that ACen did discover or pop a Classical tech. Man, they are being lucky. That's their 6th tech (discovered or popped).
