Re: Turn 42, 2360BC

Not as much to debate in the turn specifics this turn, but we need to continue the discussion on production, techs, and worker actions for the war period.

Moved away from the coast last turn - maybe swing the other way this time? (Move 9 first and then see.)

I'm fine with turnplayer's discretion on Spiney's movement. Keep him safely on forest tiles, uncovering as much fog as possible each turn.

This shot shows the approach of the Chokers:


This shot shows our exploring Warriors:


Thinking that Grog may continue up the coastline exploring, I decided to move Spinebreaker the other direction again, 7. The only forest option after the first 7 was 7 again, which lands us beside both a Lion and a Vox Warrior. Since SB has Woody II, I wonder who the Lion will attack? With luck, we'll get to finish the job. :-)

I'd advice against that. While we don't have enough chokers in their land, we need Grog to keep the pressure on them. Grog should stay within visual range, so they keep units nearby.

Not much luck to that: Vox will either get attacked, or the lion moves away. If Vox gets attacked, they will normally be wounded, which means their best option is to stay on the forest or delete their unit. If they don't get attacked and move away, we shouldn't pressure them too hard, more opportunities will arise.

As to the lay of the land: it looks like there might be enough room for another civ up there... If not, we're getting a whole lot of land just for our own

Just wondering and perhaps and pretty dumb/obvious question but, who moves after us first: Vox or Barbs?

[Blake]

All the players move then the barbs move so the barbs will get their move before Vox.

[Arrian]

Concerning Grog... I think I'd move him 7.

Let's hope the lion hits the Voxian warrior and gets lucky enough to hurt it badly.
