No problem regentman.
I will send the settler to blue dot instead.

Lookie this.

Yeah boy! Very sweet, very sweet.
I just sent a curragh on a suicide mission too.

The bad thing is that, since none of us is Seafaring, even with the Great Lighthouse, we wouldn't get a safe passage without ship chaining.

True but at least we'll know what's it looks like before them. My curragh sunk on the last IT.

Woot! Great luck Hakura! Pray that it doesn't sink this time around...

From what I'm seeing on the power/culture graph, we pwn them in score and power, but unless they built their capitals really early, they're building some early culture because they're beating us in culture. Good job Iroquois too - first to 200!

Well, if they're building some early culture, it's not that good for them, I think. When will culture actually play a part in this game? :D

It survived!!!![party]

Exactly what I thought when I saw the chart.

:D @ the curragh. Hopefully we've landed on the other continent, and not some misc. island chain. It's kind of weird that we don't see any units/borders, though. Keep us informed, Hakura!

Maybe their island is like ours, with a peninsula on the south? Like the one to my south.

A little update from me. Sorry I forgot to send lit until 34. I started on currency so we can get some markets up. I didn't see a huge need for ducts as we're still in expansion mode. The first MW is being built and I think maybe 2 more settlers before Stealth switches to other things. I don't want to crowd you two too much. 2 turn settler and 1 turn worker factories are awesome!! I saw their culture too. What's up with that? Keep up the power rankings! Tell me if I need to hook up the iron at any point. I have 10 or so workers going and a new one every turn.

BTW I'm not real swift. I see people write woot! and pwned all the time. What do they mean?

Don't worry about crowding, me, I still have a lot of work to do settling the south.

I'm going Polytheism --> Monarchy, which will get me a two-turn settler factory. (And short Anarchy) :D

Woot (alt. w00t, W00t) is just a "hurray!" or "Woohoo!"

Pwned is a common typo of "owned" originating from Starcraft (I think) that stuck.

Right, woot is like woohoo! and pwned is a typo from StarCraft meant to be owned, which is to be heavily defeated.

or as it says here.

and pwned here

[goodjob]

Melifluous

Russian is a peculiar language for that. "We owned other team" would be as possibly polite (as it can be) form of "We have fucked the other team in all their holes and stuff. And we enjoyed that and we don't care what the other team thought of that."

OMFGz we need to get the Great Lighthouse. :D

Akots would it be ok to name a coastal city "Owned" in this PBEM? Would they find it funny or an insult?

Very interesting Haruka.
Bummer only one of us would benefit from the Lighthouse.

So who should it be? I have a coastal capital, but using it would cramp my expansion... Spicy would be a good city, but maybe a bit slow. What's it like for RegentMan?

I would let RegentMan continue to expand. I can try to get Giddyup up to speed. I think I can afford to do it.

Okay, then.

Some picture wizard that can make a screenie where all of your lands are on?
It's interesting to see how you guys divide the available land between yourselves

[confused]Have no idea. Probably OK. Just try not to name it something like "ScrewURussians". [lol]

I'm on the other side of the continent, but the extra move could benefit me. My only problem is that I don't really have a high-shield city. Plus I need to expand some more.

Regentman I got a little confused when I saw the Lit come back. I sent it again.

My best coastal shield city did a chop so I may have to wait a couple turns before I start. Giddyup isn't capable for close to 68 turns.

You need to hit "accepted" on the bottom before it'll go through. If you're simply gifting something to one of us, please send it accepted.

Yeah, yeah. I realized it after I did it. Of course Haruka was next and I accepted my gift.

SGLs are off, right?

Yes SGL's are off but SoZ is on from what I read in the CFC thread.

Does anyone wanna have a go at the SoZ? I would do it in Bitter if I had ivory.

I have a settler on the way to the ivory now. I could trade it to you once I get a road hooked up.
What do you think? It seems a waste if we can't get ships across till late MA.

BTW I will be out of town June 30th through the 4th of July. I'm taking the vessel known as Juicy to Milwaukee for Summerfest!!!

Who wants to take my turns?
Or any quality lurkers want to give it go?

That's right... I'll have to reconsider it.

Iroquois, is that mounted warrior and archer headed towards an undefended Persian city? ;)

Ooh! I just remembered warrior --> immortal upgrades are only 30 gold with AP on. Sweet...

Yes, yes. I want to make sure all the neighborhoods are safe.

You have locked alliance, no way can attack each other.

Emphasis on ;) akots.

BTW who is taking my turns next week?

Oh shit!

I forgot that I'm going away for three weeks, starting Sunday. Internet access is iffy, and definately no civ.

Looks like I'm the main player. Just post/PM me your passwords and specific instructions. Be forwarned: I'll do my best, but please don't hate me if I don't do something that you would have.

No probs kid. I leave you some instructions because I think it's time for Stealth to transition out of settler mode.

Any up to date dot maps with specific city build queues would be greatly appreciated. Plus tech research and general long term goals. Unit/worker movement too.

Well I just found out my DSL is offline till Tuesday 6/28 so I've pm'd both of you my password. There's a possibility I can use hotspot with my wireless. Have either of you used a wireless (blue tooth) public area? They're at Starbuck's and there's one in my building.

Now I have to remember what is going on in my head. My dot map is on the the first page of this thread.
The Blue Dot was just established and named Pink Dot.
The south settler was headed to the Pink Dot ivory on the river
The west settler was headed to the light greenish dot south of Giddyup near the oasis.
I think I had a north settler was headed to the brown dot.
The one being produced in Stealth I was going to place on the dark green dot as my last one.

Beware is a worker pump knocking out 1 turn workers. Keep it at 5 fpt and 5spt. I would like to have 2 -2 1/2 per city so keep cranking them.
I would start Stealth on rax after the next settler. Make sure to put the citizen on the forest back on a grass square to keep the growth at 5 fpt.
River Hills keep pumping MW's.
Coastal cities I have focused on primarily naval type things. Harbors and galleys. I would like to keep a combination of regular galleys and vet galleys. Vets galleys to carry lesser units and the regs to carry the valuable units.

Worker actions: I need to continue to develop River Hills, Stealth, Giddyup and Nightmare (connecting silks now). Roads to Nob Hill and the other cities as a secondary need when the core has its tiles better developed.

My next research path I was thinking either construction or CoL. What do you think?
