2320 Bc

Okay, nothing unexpected happened, so i founded our lovely new city: "RNG temple"

Setted production to barracks for now (not sure how the discussion ended), Workers will make a mine on the copper, and then a road to connect?

The whip button in the city is lit for whipping two pop. I'm not sure what i have to do with it. So i'll wait for feedback before sending the turn on.

I guess we're then gonna whip one, but let's wait a bit for others.

Phew about that second city.

I feel that the discussion about barracks/ax should be renewed - what should be first?

[-SafaN-]

well we obviously can't start with a axe
it is warrior or barracks
the question is can we miss the scout for a while as defence, or should we explore as much bananaland asap?

[binTravkin]

well we obviously can't start with a axe

sorry about that.

It's barracks then I guess, we can switch to warrior anytime and whip as long as we have 2+ pop.

I guess the scout should be patrolling around or second city, to spot any threat as far from it as possible.

For completing the forge, I still prefer the 1-pop whip in 3 turns:

B) 3 turns to 60/120, more food and gold
2320 BC : (5-0-1 + 3-0-4 + 3-0-4 + 0-4-0) => total: 19-34-20
2280 BC : (5-0-1 + 3-0-4 + 3-0-4 + 0-4-0) => total: 24-46-30
2240 BC : (5-0-1 + 3-0-4 + 0-4-0 + 1-3-0) => total: 27-64-36
2200 BC : whip (4 pop -> 3 pop, + 60 hammers)

ie: change from the 1-3-0 mine to the 0-4-0 one.

The main reason for not whipping with 2 pop is that we don't really have any "urgent" things to build next (where one turn delay makes a big difference). Or do we ?

For production :
RNG temple => barracks : OK,
Being should start a warrior after the forge, to protect RNG.
Maybe our Being warrior could move to the 1-3-0 mine hill, so he can reach our both cities in 2 turns.


For our scout:
try to find if the banana settler is moving our way and try to map the south-territory, so move to the South-East (see attached pic)

For our worker:
First mine, then road is

Mercs discovered a tech

Vox probably had their 3rd culture expansion, but it could also be bananas.

We do need more warriors so we don't get barb-rushed. We've lots of free unit slots and they can be used for police units as soon as we're in Hereditary rule, I've a feeling that Beijing is going to be a huge city by then.

I agree to this. If more people agree, please carry it out Safan (the transition to other mine).

How long the barracks will take?

Moving the warrior will leave Beijing undefended and cause unhapiness..

[-SafaN-]

okay done and send on

the barracks will take 30 turns atm, but in 10 turns we have a second pop for working the copper mine

[Maniac]

I'd suggest to build a warrior as defense in our second city. It'll be quite a while before we can build an axeman.

[PJayTycy]

It will be faster to build one in Beiing and move it there.

[Maniac]

I like that. I thought people didn't want that.

[Impaler[WrG]]

I'd go for that as well, Beiging can make a Warrior quite quickly.
