So the plan should be:
1) Acquire Animal Husbandry from Banana.
2) Once the Taz worker is done, move him directly to the Sheep - it's possible to put a free turn of a mine into the desert hill hub, ie move 2-4-MINE-Cancel, move directly to Sheep. That is optimal.

I'm a little confused on this - is this sequence over 2 turns? I don't see how moving 2-4 is any different than moving 1, as there is no road 2.

Also, if we don't get AH asap... (plea for diplomats - no, not you NYE.)

Oops accidentally edited your post instead of reply with quote, I unedited it :P.

I meant 4-2-mine-cancel, got the 2/4 around the wrong way.

[Hot Mustard]

Upon opening the save we're presented with the Diplomacy screen - Banana has offered (and accepted) the following:

Animal Husbandry (143)
Fishing (57)
Priesthood (85)
Meditation (114)

for

Hunting (57)
Mathematics (357)


That's 399 beakers from them, for 404 from us - pretty darn close.

Since we're dragging our feet on the diplomatic front, I'd be inclined to accept this and not wrangle over alternatives.

Please comment.

[Krill]

The only reason I would not take that trade is if any of the techs from Nana come from AC.

[Krill]

Unless they have Monarchy or something useful like that Monarchy is like the only useful tech up that way apart from theocracy which will be useful in about, I dunno, 70 turns...

[DeepO]

Take it. If there is some mistake, it's not our fault and we can correct that later on. Right now we need AH.

DeepO

[Blake]

Yeah take it we don't need Meditation but it's a fair deal.

Had to backtrack from the Barb Warrior (7) - took screenshot beforehand.



Notice that there are two horse tiles in or close to Vox land - the coastal one may have been where they built the 2nd city.
