Turn 16 - 3400BC

[polarnomad]

Well, that certainly was eventful... All I had to do was press enter to end the turn. Anyway, the worker is ready for the next turn, but according to this the scout has not yet healed.

[Kloreep]

I'm not sure whether healing occurs at the end of a turn or the beginning.

Though if the scout was to have healed after moving, it should have already. I guess this means healing only begins once you do have a turn's full move to devote to it.

Move the scout 2-3?

[Cptn Fancypants]

Are we aiming for the S or the SE? Either way, we can begin with 2-3 and 2-2 to reveal the hidden square just to our SSE.

As I have mentioned before, the southern jungle probably offers more unpopped huts, but the southeastern terrain appears to offer quicker movement and earlier contact with other civs.

[polarnomad]

Personally I would prefer not making contact too soon. Huts sound good.

[Cptn Fancypants]

Do you intend to play the turn, polarnomad? It's now available.

[polarnomad]

Well, I was getting ready to. But this is an anarchy, so if you would like to go for it, I'll wait.

EDIT: I'm off to work, back in the morning.

[Kloreep]

Playing now.

Report
-Scout moved 2-3
-Worker moved 4-1, ordered to mine; game reports it will take 5 turns.

Note: I realized that with the completion of the worker, the oasis tile is no longer hands-down better than the alternatives; while it does produce the most total resources with 3 food and 2 commerce, it does not provide us any shields. However, I concluded that growing to size 2 and catching up with everyone certainly is urgent and we don't need the warrior that badly, especially when there's the 2 commerce to be gained. We certainly can discuss changing this in future turns though.
Personally, I think we should wait for the copper to be mined before switching to any shield-heavy activity. We'll definitely want to make use of the copper, so if we're to slow down growth and research, I think we should do it when we have that 5-shield tile to do it for.

[Cptn Fancypants]

Agreed, Kloreep.
