Todo:
- capture Bananapolis at once!
- start chopping near Hong Kong
- continue troop movements east and south, probably heal forward units where wounded
- do another scout in Tassagrad (followed by missionary for the new city)
- set some production (I'd say granary) in mash
- rename mash to something more meaningful (now that riots have ended)!
- anything I forgot?

[PJayTycy]

- change production to workboat in hongkong

as for the new name for Mash : I have no idea... Maniac usually gives us the Chinese culture input.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Thoughts on names: name all Banana cities after Tibeten cities for 'Free Tibet / Banana' pun. Are you guys in the Skype room now?

[Maniac]

Xiangjiao means banana. Perhaps the name for Bananapolis?
Or since Bananapolis is a former capital, perhaps name it Dongjing = Eastern Capital? Beijing meaning northern capital of course. Dongjing is the Chinese name for Tokyo btw, in case a more recognizable name is desired.

Regarding Tibet... Perhaps rename Mash to Mhasa instead of Lhasa?

[-SafaN-]

done everything as proposed exept the tassagrad production

- Bananapolis captured, 1 chuck severly damaged. 71 gold to fund currency
- Worker builded road to banana in 1 turn, speeding up our other chuck towards splitsville, we have 3 chucks moving in group now
- sighted barbarian warrior 4 turns from (undefended) tassagrad ... proposal to make chuck or axe there first?

midturn save

The Mash => Mhasa
Bananapolis => Dongjing


Tassagrad can build a chuck in 3 turns I guess (ie: just in time before the banana warrior can reach it) ?

Safan, research back to 100%

- sighted barbarian warrior 4 turns from (undefended) tassagrad ... proposal to make chuck or axe there first?

Here we must decide, are we using the best units for garrisoning now, or are we starting to build crap units like archers for garrisons?

Naturally we'd want to have cheapest units as garrisons, but one thing is different - we have plenty of military production potential right now and we might be running out of uses for it.
Tassagrad could be lined up for two more scouts, 2 missionaries and worker, while Xian builds another settler after the current. After that, as we decided not to push expansion past 7 cities, they will have little to do until courthouses.

Also, if that unit is going out to actually hunt for the warrior, better be it some powerful one.


EDIT: I'm not sure we need to switch to work boat right now in Hong Kong - it's 7 turns from expansion which means we need that work boat in 6 turns only and we can entirely build it with that upcoming chop.
I'll look at the save in the evening for some calculations.

[PJayTycy]

bt, you don't gain/lose anything by delaying the switch to workboat. I know you're trying to find an "ideal" whipping opportunity, but I don't see any difference between 1 hammer going to granary now <=> 1 hammer going to granary after the workboat.

[binTravkin]

It's more complicated than that, but ok, lets go on with work boat first.

comments on what's left :

=> change research to 100% again
=> rename the unnamed chuck (east of river delta) to Chuck Rock
=> return Chuck Rock to Tassagrad. He'll be too late for the war anyway (he will arrive 3 turns after the other units).
=> for Tassagrad, if Chuck Rock returns, it's unnecessary to change production

You think it will be enough with the units we have there?
You could probably check in intelligence how much units they must be having, to decide whether it's enough.

Anyways, I'm leaving for the town (quite unexpectedly), so won't be checking the turn.

Discuss and send on when done.

[Kataphraktoi]

Chuck rock keeps heading for banana land and tassagrad builds chuck. After it kills the warrior it can head for other postings and a new garrison can be trained at our leisure

[-SafaN-]

i'll do that

done and send on: end-turn save

[binTravkin]

Actually, we don't really need any more military units.
We're running past unit supply limit already.
