      Some moves for this turn:
      -Scout needs to start moving back toward the black. 9-9?
      -Axe & settler meet up on the plains hill; Axe moves 3, settler 3-2
      -Axe in the east forts again, on FoW duty.

        I propose moving the spear to the yellow dot on the attached map.

        The yellow lines represent fog removal granted by this move, blue represent "hidden" fog removal granted by Sarantium's warrior, Red represents the fog removal of founding the next city.

        As you can see, this would render Forst Sierra completely free from the threat of barbs, and enables us to plan ahead of any attacks by the Horde, allowing us to focus defense on the new city.

        This renders the worker safe from any threats provided he's not right next to that Sarantium warrior.



        I request roads connect Fort Sierra and the new city as soon as it plausible with your buildering to enable transfer of units.

        edit: actually, the red line should be one tile further on the right 5 turns after settling, but I cant be bothered to fix and reload it. :lazy:

          Moving the spear sounds good to me. However, how about we wait 1 turn so that the axe is closer to finishing in Fort Sierra.

          Once the worker finishes roading & mining the gold (about 7 turns, I think) it should be able to get on that. I believe the two cities may be connected trade-wise from the start (not sure if that river corner will count?) but militarily a road will be good to speed up units.

          Edit: One point, though. If the worker roads between them first, it'll delay the pasturing of the horses and other improvements for the city. I'm thinking pasture first may be the way to go, particularly if the new city is on the trade network and thus has copper without a road.

          Also, the new worker in AB will probably be connecting AB and FS as its first job. (Thoughts on that though? I don't think AB can use much improvement for the time being. The work boat for the clams would probably be better than trying to build a cottage this early.)

            Does the hill have fresh water? If so, it'll be in the trade network. Oh wait, never mind, damn lake.

            I am very much for connecting our capitol ASAP.

            We get trade routes with Sarantium, that is more gold...
            we will get a religion, that is more happy and culture (ok, random, but in my experience very likely)
            We get the possibility to trade our spare copper for tech with Sarantium.

            What do walls cost in CIV? We may wish to consider one in the new city. I'll be looking over things closely tonight.

              Yeah. :/ Otherwise would be easy to tell.

              Once we get open borders with them, anyway. Never hurts to be prepared.

              Should be plenty of time for it to spread, we just won't be able to count on it kicking in anytime till we actually get it...

              We definitely need more happy though.

              Indeed.

              Don't remember, certainly might be worth it though. Don't we need Masonry though? (Masonry would at least help, connecting our stone would mean +100% hammers for walls builds.)

                    You guys are gonna love this...

                    The horde have an archer and a settler one tile away from our designated spot for Foxtrot!



                    If we move to the hill we decided upon, we can settle Foxtrot before the Horde can settle theirs, but they may choose to just settle where they are even though the spot lacks a decent food tile. In which case we are screwed out of ponies. So what to do?

                    We could settle Foxtrot this turn, 3 of our settler's current location, which wouldn't be too shabby and still give us access to ponies, gems and corn.

                    Waiting for input...

                      Yeah...I was afraid of that...

                      I vote settle 3 and prepare for a pissed off horde.

                      Walls are a definate need without the hill if we do this.

                        Ok, should I wait for more votes?

                        Perhaps we should move the spear to reinforce Foxtrot instead of moving to the yellow dot you designated?

                          Please move the axe 3, no war, just to give us that one extra tile sight.

                          Should we choose to settle at sight 3 this turn, this also prevents the Horde from trying anything cute with their archer. (I've done some amazing damage with an archer on a hill before)

                          Yeah, let's wait and discuss this a bit. But Axe 3 has no downside at the moment, so move that, post a screen and we'll wait for Klo and anyone else to comment.

                              Interesting choice of Drill1 on the archer...

                              How many xp on the archer? Just curious.
