I can start up on Monarchy. I prolly won't be rushing it. My workers should be on the iron hill and 1 W of the iron hill this turn. I think that I have a warrior on both of your purple dot hills. I'll move both if I can remember.

only move the one that I am going towards (near the river). The other one can stay for now (and we need him there as a lookout). You must move that warrior near the river or it will delay my city build by 1T, and I need the troop support.

ok. The one by the river wasn't wher I thought that he was. He was 1 W of it. Let me know when you need the spot to the east and I'll move that warrior. I was mainly leaving them there to prevent barb camps from popping up.

Monarchy due in 5 turns. thanks for the 40 bucks.

Well, I had a decent scrap with Mistfit. Left him with a single rArcher near my horse town:

Near Tonawanda:
Cat takes 1hp off rSpear
vArcher kills 2/3 spear (1/4)
vArcher kills vWarrior (2/4)
rArcher kills vArcher and promotes (2/4)

He has another rSword and archer coming but I should be fine. I have sent you iron so just accept and get those immortals cued up. I also cued up about 4 swords so I don't necesarily have to trip my GA too soon.

For your workers near the iron, once they're finished mining, one or 2 can irrigated the roaded river plain tile. I'll post a pic next turn to give detailed instructions for the rest as I need to figure out exactly where my next cities will be located.

I think that I'll go after Rik first. Those Conquistadors are pretty scary. Whomp will have samauris pretty soon too, so we prolly need to be thinking of knocking him back a bit too.

Yeah, I think crippling Mistfit and Rik is the way to go. I know Mistfit is missing horses, but not iron. I also know that whomp and barbu are pretty weak right now. If we can get Monarchy + GA vs Rik/Mistfit, we should be able to out tech Whomp and Barbu, though barbu is getting pretty big atm.

I have the most land area. I passed barbu a couple cities ago. I'm not sure if I should stop expanding and jsut make workers to add to cities or if I should continue to expand.

Rik has a city on the horses just west of my western mountains. He has a trail of cities that lead to it. Right now it doesn't seem connected but I'm sending a warrior over there to tear up any roads that may be there.

Oh my do I have something for you. I used to be weak compared to you but after I upgraded the warriors to get this
