4 gold hills !!!:D And with rice and cows there is food to work those hills.

[Robboo]

I choked on my drink when I saw the 2 hills...the other two well that was just icing on the cake.

[IglooDude]

Holy crap!!

[BCLG100]

only problem is you look fairly cut off from everyone else.

[Robboo]

We need to "sea bridge" him with some galleys till portugal gets their UU. Honestly...we need to protect that city at all costs. I cant imagine a better city in this game.

[mauer]

Good grief! That's the best SP I think I've ever seen!

[Robi D]

Being Isolated is a concern. Especially if a couple players from another team are near by. Hopefully i'll find land all the way to Robboo with my scout.

[Robi D]

Now here is sometihng i don't like the look of.

That definately looks like a coast line which is not what i want to see. If i am isolated thats going to be a problem with regards to defense. I'm going to have to build more units than planned.

Aside from that i was thinking of building 2 workers (chopping the 2nd) after the warrior to speed up getting that gold working. Any thoughts?

[BCLG100]

i think the better way would be to work the food first, then the gold, so warrior/worker/grow a bit/ chop out next worker.

[Robboo]

hope its a big semi-impassable lake to help with defense.

I was thinking of getting both food first, which means we would be looking at getting AH soon, then just mine away

[BCLG100]

well i was planning on mining my pigs so AH isnt as massivly important for me but yeah can do.

[killercane]

I finally got added to lurk. Thats a beaut of a city. Hopefully there is more food east to share the gold richness.

Given the research and build rates we could leave AH as the 4th tech we do.

[Robi D]

A bit of relief. It was just a little lake in the shape of a heart:D
Plus there is a goody hut to pop next turn

[Robi D]

Bit of an update.

Got my warrior. I moved him to cover the goody hut in case anyone else comes by.

Now hows this for a future city. Rice and 4 dyes or if i move it 1 tile east 3 dyes, rice and bananas. I'll definately be cashed up if no one kills me

It looking like me and robboo have a land connection after. I'm going to start heading back with my scout to see if anyones around me after i pop the hut. Hopefully there is a land bridge between robboo and simon

[Robboo]

I will finish to you then doubel back north a bit to see how much room we have.

[Robi D]

Here is the current view

You can see the galley crossing in the top left corner.
The workers choping the forest now for the second worker build. He is then going to go get the rice sorted while the second worker will get the cows then they will both get gold mined.

The scout will now head off towards the galley crossing area to see if there is a good spot for a city.

[Robi D]

Here is the new view.

Everyone is having a good look around me at the moment.
I'll have a second gold hill mined next turn. I've jumped to 1st overall in GNP and production.

[Beorn]

Your 2nd city spot is 1 tile off a river and would get clams first off over cow first off if you put it 1 east on the plains. Is getting rid of the jungle this valuable?

[Robi D]

I haven't really looked at it too closely so the spot isn't set. The sign is there just as a general reminder. I do like your idea since it would connect it to robigrad with the river right away
