given the cheap ship I cna build NOW I decided for Pottery at max (growth, settlers) and one warrior, then a ship so i can explore a bit until my 1st settler is ready.

I already screwed up: I roaded the bonus grass at the coast, missing the fact that the tile southest of the town is bonus, too :( that costs me some tax now.....

new shot: settler in 7 and then off to where???? I will check out the western island a bit more, I hope for a bonus or lux there... nice to have that ivory on my mainland.... I will see if there is a whale or fish for a second city in the south
Lt. Killer M
18-10-2003, 19:06
nice, a wheat! I guess I will settle somewhere there

I'd build the 2nd city to the southeast on the grassland, that way it can use 2 bonus grasslands, and will put the ivory in your territory. Also, but you're probably were going to do so anyways, I'd try to chop the deer forest reasonably soon, so your capital can use the gold hill in addition to the deer and the two western BGlands.

yep, kemal, I wanted to mine my bonus grass, then chop the forest :D
I agree on the place, too. No sense pushing for the river....
Don't know if its me but I can not see your last 2 pictures Killer [cry]
Anybody else has this problem ?
Apparently not Kemal, so what can it be ? [confused]

Kemal's talking about the tile on the original island I believe... and I happen to know Killer was having issues uploading pics earlier.

it seems the server doesn't save the things I upload - it takes longer to upload larger stuff, and I get the message that upload was successfull, but the files are size 0k. :( Rebooting didn't help :(

He is indeed in the shit :D
Well done Killer !
Lt. Killer M

no gamble on maths (he lacks alpha), no gamble on Poly (he lacks myst). Maybe I just beat him to Myst - but still I am a bit surprised that he doesn't have more ships running around.
I WILL look out for an attack though!
You did a great job until now :D. But I think it is too soon to say that he is 'in the shit' [:p]
Aggie : he is *currently* in the shit, he is one of the best at getting out of it though so I dont count on it staying like this ;)
You're right Sky. Until now Killer has played a great game. I like the agressive/pro-active approach [thumbsup]

Excellent start to your game. How dd you get so much tech so early and Anarres didn't?
Lt. Killer M
23-10-2003, 13:55
I traded :D
Lt. Killer M
23-10-2003, 13:56
I jsut got Philo from a hut and sold it around for 140 Gold.
Typically, at end turn two AIs start the Lighthouse :mad:
Lt. Killer M
23-10-2003, 16:08
it may have been dumb, but I bought Map Making for 200 and 8 per from the Ottos - strengthens an anarres neighbour. I just hope he is not about to beat them up.....
I was then able to get some money (39) and maths for trading around.
I will get settlers next turn, in 4 and in 6. These will go to the iron island (on the gold), a second city on the island in the west and another one I ahven't decided on yet. Then, it is harbour building time while the growing cities will hopefully give me enough cash to upgrade a few of my vet Warriors to swords... then.... you can guess :D

How's the whole tech situation now? anarres still behind?
Lt. Killer M
29-10-2003, 08:11
PP, he has caught up, no idea how far.
Both the Russians and Viks sent some units (the Viks sent 6 at one time!) to be slaughtered, I hope to raze one or two cities and get a few tehs from them.
What u gonna do with the leader ?
Lt. Killer M
04-11-2003, 09:17
no idea what I will do with him.
razed a russian town, took another, made them willing to give me cheap tech for peace. abandoned the other town as I am terribly weak in culture.
Temples are super cheap though... [groucho]
Lt. Killer M
04-11-2003, 09:46
yes, but at a ratio of 10:1 and a capital distance of 10:1.....
I may turn the leader into ana rmy if I can't get a wonder - then use the cheap-zerks to fill it - but that has to wait for bigger ships... it all sucks atm
