Anarres vs ProPain - deity head to head * spoiler*
 

I'm expecting a [B)]

He he...

First make sure you keep keep up with the AI's. Getting all those free settlers is not the usual on Deity level. I always get shit from huts on Deity....

I'm afraid I haven't seen any huts....BUt my starting position is magnificent. I'll post a screenie today.

Here's a screenie of my start and surroundings. I'm VERY happy with it.

MMM, this picture SUCKS. I'll take a new shot next turn.

I have 2 cows (one under the worker,one under the star after Paris) deer (n, nw of paris) and gems (you can see those) and furs NW NW of the warrior

better screenie, but misses some land at the edges

lucky bastard!!!!

I met the Babs in turn 26 (2750BC) That doesnt make me happy, Hamu's far to trigger happy with those bowmen. I contact him he doesn't have alpha and pottery!!!! He has however Bronze working, cer. bur. and warrior code.

I trade him alpha and pottery for BW, CB and 10 gold

I'm pretty happy with that. Hopefully I'll meet another civ before hamu does

look at this: apparently there's more land to the south! and a wheat in the blue circle. Good news AFAIK. I'll settle on the grass and not the plain so I can cow share if necessary. Also I'll put a warrior next to the city so hamu cant pass.

Saw your discussion with anarres in a thread. Fo4 buying iron working and horsies. If you buy it from him for so much money you will:
- help him
- cripple yourself

If really need it fast buy it form th AI, otherwise research it fast yourself.

You will need your money later in the game for upgrades/embassys/buying alliances!

I'd rather buy it from the ai but they want more money. But as I said I can also get lucky and get them techs cheap when the ai suddenly demands tribute, i refuse and they declare war. My guess is my bab neighbours will do this soon enough. So I'm looking at my options. Maybe I buy HR from the Ai and research IW. or buy it a few turns later. gonna look at my turn 1st. Gonna post some screenies b4 lunch too!
