can winestrom grow to size 5 without penalties? if so, build a few turns of lib first, then start on settlers and workers. We're going to need at least 5-10 settlers in very short order if we want to have a chance of keeping pace with AC. And every settler should have a worker too...

Note that the FP cities should be used as whip pumps for settlers. In other words, grow to size 6 and then whip. Although the details of this depends on existing whip anger - at least until we have Monarchy, which is very soon

.

So grow, grow, grow!

At Wines, it's probably an idea to move the 1-2-0 worker to the 2-0-1 plot, to increase growth.

Maybe we should just whip another worker out at Wines, once it hits size 5 (so will be whipped back down to working the 3 floodplains). We do need cottages on the grassland and we need roads and we need workforce for The Voice...

Other things in the "Work to do" category include building a road north to secure the northern ivory site before AC can. So workers = good.

Of course we need more settlers too...

Altough earlier I was in favor of getting an Academy, considering we have 4 commerce cities (well Vox still have one of them) our research is somewhat distributed, so lets just maximize expansion boom.

Taz Build (after skirmisher): Obelisk.

Wines Build: Obelisk?

Oh with the Worker I. The one standing 9 of EotS now I believe (and man I wish I'd got a look at the save).
I think we should send him 3 of Wines, and cottage that grassland river plot, then build a road on it (moving directly there last turn would not have been faster because of movement-rounding, so no loss).
He can then move to 9 of Wines and cottage that grassland, or alternatively continue roading to The Voice.
It would be nice to have 2 more cottaged plots at Wines, such that it can work all cottages at size 5, AND give one of the floodplains back to Taz such that Taz has 4 cottages (which combined with the Iron Mine gives it 5 plots to work, for a size 6 whip-pump).

If we're going to whip a worker from Wines at size 5, that greatly reduces the urgency of the Deer.

More Barbs this turn. Can't move worker to deer. Orders above updated, please comment.

anyone considering that those Voxian horsies might come around and threaten Taz? We need another spear, asap.

DeepO

**DeepO** · August 19, 2007, 20:12

maybe two...

**DeepO** · August 19, 2007, 20:13

from the looks of it, their worker is either a diversion to get some axes out in the open (unlikely), or a scout. It would make a good scout: all Vox can reasonably do right now to uphold their honor, is try to take one of our core cities.
