Things are becoming interesting and not easy.
The north guy:are these white things ice? If yes,then 1 and hut;if not 7 and hut (if hut hostile...game over).

The south guy:to his 6 are gems,isn't it? go there to reveal more. Then need to decide about:just 1 city here or 2? (cows,river,stone,gems - good food, commerce;good hammers). Obviously the good place for one city is not the same for each of two cities.

Perhaps we must confront now the first serious decision about the game (and IMHO there is no sure best one).

Best regards,

guard the hut until we have a scout

[Addled Platypus]

as EPW mentioned, we realy need to stone

red square for city 2
when the borders expand we will have both gems and stones, no coast city =no bombardment from naval units

I vote bob2 conitues in direction of 6




as far as bob1, I have the feeling its only going to be gold


I vote bob1 hut

[fruitmonkey]

no coastal city also means no ships and no commerce via trade overseas!

[Addled Platypus]

I am saying second city not be costal, others yes

[NeuroticOne]

Ok, I have the save now. The votes seem to be as follows:

Bob1 -> Onto goodie hut
Bob2 -> Continue east towards the gems

We have also now hit pop 2 and if I recall correctly, 4 turns for our next warrior.

Are we still in agreement about building Sue2 after Bob3?

There are a few different tiles to choose from to work, the best seems to be (2 food, 1 hammer, 1 comerce) and we have a few of thoes. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

I will wait awhile before playing the turn.

[NeuroticOne]

Our position is getting better and better. I think everyone is going to like the results.

Move for Bob2:

[NeuroticOne]

This shows our city, it's stats, and what tiles we are using.

[NeuroticOne]

Forgot to mark the tiles we are using, sorry. We are using one of the silk tiles.

And now, the reveal from Bob1. And things are starting to look up.

[NeuroticOne]

And this is just a view of what I figured would be the next city site. Put in the grid view so everyone could get a better idea of the future tiles the city would be able to use.

I think it looks like a pretty good spot myself.

pop bob1 hut, work back towards city to escort settler

guard bob2 hut

after bob3, Settler

things are turning out nicley, but for most everyone else too I presume, by looking at the score


with my on going pet emergency please rotate between EPW and NeuroticOne

[EPW]

Is the space to the east of the "X" fresh water? I can't remember is diagonal tiles to rivers were considered on the river. If it is, I would think that it would be the superior spot because we could get stone and gems in the city radius.
