Turn 82, 850BC

[Arrian]

So the plan should be:
1) Acquire Animal Husbandry from Banana.
2) Once the Taz worker is done, move him directly to the Sheep - it's possible to put a free turn of a mine into the desert hill hub, ie move 2-4-MINE-Cancel, move directly to Sheep. That is optimal.

I like this plan.

By the way, I had a thought vaguely like this:

Granaries are absolutely huge for whipping cities, but delaying them is acceptable for a city like EotS.

but no way could I have laid it out as clearly as Blake has.

Vox has AH but not IW!?!? So they don't know they have iron! I wonder if they have horsies. Fascinating. I'm still in favor of re-establishing a military presence in their territory asap, but I'm less worried about facing Voxian axemen now.

We can whip Axemen from 0 hammers, for 2 pop giving the full 60h. This should be done at Wines if the granary can no longer be 2-popped.

So it is written, so shall it be done. Gets us an extra axe too, which is nice

HM, or the next person who opens a turn:

Can you quickly check on what techs banana has that we don't and vice-versa? I know they have AH, but I recall that at least at one point, AC was trying to steer them toward the fishing/sailing area. We don't need those things now, but if they have them it would help even out a trade of Math for AH.

Turn is here. I won't be looking at it until late tonight.

Summary:
Got aggressive this turn, renaming the Axes to fighter/hitter hockey players and moving them to the front, as well as taking out that annoying Vox Warrior.

Good to see a battle go our way.

If it hadn't, we might as well have just surrendered.
