Robboo's the man here. Portugal is planned to provide the settlers and workers and provide us with some nifty boats.

And the start is perfect again, lots of food for pumping those workers out:D

[Robboo]

yep only problem is bonus for settlers are from hammers. I think workboat as soon as warrior is done.

[Robi D]

Hammers arn't huge but you can always chop a few settlers/workers out.

Would have been nice to settle on that ivory if it wasnt so inconveniently placed.

[Robboo]

nah..i hate settling on resources...I have an idea I want to check out BUT this will provide ivory for another of the team for some elephant kicking

So you have Byzantines up North. If you put town #2 in the W-SW, you do protect it somewhat but then your capital becomes the front-liner and you put its productivity on the line. Of course the dynamics of exploration would kill the concealment right off but that plain hill by the river looks tempting as a front line settlement since it is on hill, has access to wheat and gives you sight of whatever can come to your capital rather early.

Just saying.

There was a galley cooking; considering you are surrounded and need units, I put the archer first on the list. I'm super tempted to settle the hill North but you had your #2 marked W-SW so that's what it'll be. If you settle that spot 1W of your mark btw, you get bananas +2grass +ghill at the cost of 2 coasts, grass and plain. Great deal.
