My start with the Iroquis:

I will focus on writing - philo first. My other civ, the Koreans, are not agri, so they won't grow that fast. Thus, I will simply try to get writing philo here. Settling on the wine might help, but I'm not sure. If I settle right here, the worker should move to a wine anyway, thus I move my worker to the east, to reveil more terrain:

Een Koe!
So, guess what: I move the settler there too!

The Korean start sucks. I move the settler to the dyes.

mr worker will chop a curragh, I think, and I will use the fish as first tile.

Are you sure you want to settle on the Dyes? It seems to me it is not on a river!

I concur with Banzai and also want to add : why didn't you move onto the gold hill instead, Monsieur Stapel ? [evil] More gold for you there, and still not on the river ! Frankly, I wouldn't have moved the Korean settler anyway...

It doesn't seem to be on a river. But I don't see a nice spot in any of the 9 tiles really. I think I'd settled on the starting tile as all 8 other tiles are not substantially better.

is a square diagonal to a river not on a river?

I wouldn't have moved either settler. Settling on the wines reduces the bonus of the wines by half. Now only the commerce bonus remains.

The cow in the Iroquis start is on bonus grass. Apartf rom that: it will be settler factory, and using the cow, the wheat and the gold hill. And really can't be arsed to use two wine hills!

The Korean start was indeed poor. Shoulnd't have moved it, I guess.

The gold hill is not on river, the wine is (I think). I do have 3 food in the central tile! (that means it is on river,doesn't it?)

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about the wines (not sure what I wouldn't have done), I was talking about the dyes in the Korean area : it isn't on river if I'm not mistaken, and so I asked : why not settle on the gold hill to get more gold, since it's not on river as well ? Does it make sense ?

Thinking of it, I think I wouldn't have moved the Iroquois settler as well, because I would have had forset tiles to use, and also tobacco in the long run. The gold hill, the wheat and the cow would have been quickly mine, and I could have harvested 2 juicy wines hills as well. Not too bad ! I guess having different strategies is good for getting better together.

I agree with Socrates, the pirate rat (or piRat) and that obscure drawn character on moving Korea settler as a bad idea...


Also, I just wanted to post the above to call you guys silly things.

Looks like your iro start is good though. What is with the title btw? (the bye bye part is what got my attention to this thread)

This is a PBEM vs Akots, Killer and Kingreno. they will die, so saying bye bye seems appropriate.

The Koreans made a curragh first. It sailed south and survived one sea crossing. Now it has met Killer's Dutch:

So far, no real benefits can be made by trading. Cooperating seems possible though.

I have also located a good spot for a settler factory northwest of the Korean capitol.

Seems like a safe galley route there for some kind of operating.

Killer and I had a chat

-I will set Iro research to 0%
-In 15 turns (or sooner), Killer (Dutch) will send writing to the Koreans, and Killer will start on CoL with anything he has.
-The Koreans will send writing to the Iros
-The Iros will send half the money earnt in the meantime towards the Koreans, who will send it to the Dutch.
-The Iros will head for Philo, but they will not get it before they have got CoL
-by this time, you could have sent a curragh north and then west, to meet the Iros, to speed things up 1 turn.

There is a small risk, not getting to philo first, but it is worth it!
If we succes, we will have republic very soon!
