Score (yay! ) :

NOTE: I forgot to save the endturn, but I could try to make one if it's necessary. Next time I wont (hopefully)

Cows+Iron city, and leave room for another seafood + wheat on the turndra tile, or do wheat +cow+iron, but needing a border expansion?

[binTravkin]

I think the first one is better - gives us a coastal city with a good food amount - ideal for exploiting the bonuses from Colossus

See the planning thread btw, for a probable layout.

[N35t0r]

yeah, it's my preferred one as well, that's why I put it in first

Will we send the iron-locations to the bananas ?

Perhaps as a make-up for the /bad/ news about the possible change in tech-exchange if we research writing ourselves.

[binTravkin]

The news are not necessarily bad, we might have another advanced tech by the time trade happens, e.g. Compass - there was an idea some time ago to build 2 galleys to explore, and seeing our commerce and possibly naval focus it could be a good idea to do so with caravels - to get more and bigger trade routes and probably the circumnavigation bonus aswell.

But if they think it's a major setback in the exchange plan, then we should share the locations, yes, it would also be a sign of goodwill and friendship as they would probably think that a warmongering neighbour wouldn't tell where a crucial war resource is..

I say send it to them, its a good jesture and it again encourages them to build their cities to the west and not crowd us (that Iron on the edge of the arctic looks like a terrible location, I'm shure they will chosse the coastal Iron)

Thier not even likly to reserach IronWorking as they expect to get it in a trade with us and even if they do Swordsman defending vs Chucks is bairly better then Axmen

If properly placed (#5 in the city layout plan), the iron can be hooked up pretty good (wheat + deer + marble + iron), so I think we should probably negotiate that site for one of our cities..

[Impaler[WrG]]

The only site that I think the Bananas might go for that would interfer with #5 would be a city located in the large forest just to the SE of the Wheat. If their planning to build their it would be hard to disuade them from doing it, Id hope they would be tempted by the copper to the SW of their capitol which they probably now know about.

Foreign Intelligence update: nothing happened, except we discovered a 2nd era (=double points) tech (Iron Working).

Scout movement next turn: let's go to the hill south-south-east.
