An extra quick Warrior is an interesting idea. The alternate plan is focus on getting a couple of Skirmishers up as quickly as possible. I'm going to sim that out when I get a minute.

We can use one of our Warriors to find Vox and paint their capital. The other should stay home just in case. I cannot imagine Vox will send anything threatening towards us; it should be clear to them that we have the initiative (because of their lost Scout and our UU). The only things we need to worry about is Vox popping a Warrior from a Tribal Village (do we have intel on this), or another civ showing up.

Cool, that's a good point (warrior now, or a little bit faster to Skirms) to investigate.

I think the odds of another civ showing up are decent. Plus, there is an awful lot of darkness out there.

Another thing to consider is a quick scout once we have hunting, instead of another warrior.

Time to move things along.

Warrior Spinebreaker attacks Vox scout on plains hill > Spinebreaker 40/100HP

Hmmm. We can sacrifice 4 banked food for a warrior in two turns. It delays us by 1 turn max to archery. It delays the worker by 2 turns.

Also, it is better to do it now when Vox is unlikely to have any untis that could get onto the forested plains hill (needed for 3 hammers) and the sooner we build it the sooner it will get 25% fortified bonus (6 turns from now).

OK. Doing it.
