Turn 70 - 1240 BC

[Kloreep]

At home, we need to decide on builds for AB and FS, and move a few units around.



In the south, how shall we approach the Horde choke? Hopping to the next hill would probably be ideal, but they could put their archer in the way.

[Kloreep]

On settler vs. Workboat, I'm in favor of one more settler, then the workboat. Granted our maintenance is only going to keep rising, but I'd like to get that pigs/fish site settled; the sooner we do that, the sooner the pigs can be pastured and the hills mined, after which we'll have another decent production city. I'd say Settler->Workboat->Worker might be a good queue for AB.

In FS, I'm thinking another Spearman to continue to balance out our forces. Ideally, both Foxtrot and the pigs/fish city should have a spear in addition to the axes already available.

Settler should head toward Foxtrot site, so that's 6-3-2-3 along the road.

"In the south, how shall we approach the Horde choke? Hopping to the next hill would probably be ideal, but they could put their archer in the way."

I'll lay odds their archer moves 1.

I'm for settler myself in AB, as well as spear in FS.

What's the transit time for foxtrot, 3 turns till founding?

thought Sarantium would have offered the open borders this turn...

[Kloreep]

3 turns sounds right. After ending on the stone this turn, the settler should be able to shave a turn off by moving 1-2-2-3, thereby ending up on the tile next to Foxtrot's ruins in 1200 BC and enabling it to both move and settle the next turn (1160).

Shall we heal the axe in our small army for one turn before continuing on towards the Horde's capital?

[rush]

Are we settling on the city ruins spot ? Would rather build the city on the hill for the extra defence.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Yes, we're settling on the ruins in accordance to our border agreement with Sarantium.

[polarnomad]

Yoohoo... Healing axe this turn? Yay? Nay?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Nay. It's in no threat, really. Let's park it closer to the copper to heal.

[polarnomad]

Playing the turn.
