you can infact irrigate the cow-
grassland (food/shield/comm) = 2/0/0 +cow = 4/1/0 -despot = 3/1/0 +mine = 3/2/0 or +irrigate = 4/1/0 To make a 4 turn settler factory aim to have 6sheilds +5 food at size 4 and have built a granary. To do that you need to irrigate a cow mine cow = 3/2/0 irr cow = 4/1/0 mined bg = 2/2/0 mined bg = 2/2/0 city = 2/1/1 total = 13/8/1 -civ food (2 per pop) =8 = +8 shields + 5 food (it looks like you dont have to mine either cow!!) with +5 food and granary you will grow to size 5 in 2 turns and get the extra sheilds needed to produce the settler in 4. You can use the game (2/2/0) to maintain the +6 food and grow to 6 in another 2 turns. turn 1 8 shields to settler turn 2 (+ pop..now producsing 10 shields) 18 sheilds to settler turn 3 28 sheilds to settler turn 4 (+ pop..now producsing 12 shields) build settler pop to size 4 rinse and repeat. Without a granary irr cow = 4/1/0 irr cow = 4/1/0 mined bg = 2/2/0 mined bg = 2/2/0 city = 2/1/1 total = 14/7/1 -civ food (2 per pop) =8 = +6 shields + 6 food (it looks like you dont have to mine either cow!!) size 4 empty food box turn 1 6 sheilds to settler, 6 food to box turn 2 12 sheilds to settler, 12 food to box turn 3 18 sheilds to settler, 18 food to box turn 4 (pop, now + 8s/+6f) 26 sheilds to settler) 4 food in the box?? does food carry over? turn 5 build settler, pop to size 3....hmm other might be able to propose what to do without the granary I hope i got all that right, feel free to check this. |

Well after the dismall start that was made in this game I never really expected that the game would still be going this long, and hence never intended to make another post in this forum. But amazingly I am still alive, so, I thought I would give an update. Heres my territory at the moment:
55.23KB As you can see there have actually been some settlers that have survived (at least 3), don't think I have lost any more along the way but it wouldn't surprise me if I had. As you can see there are two civs right beside me, so far they have been quite peaceful but I think they are obsessed with expanding at the moment. My hope is to maybe get one or two more cities. Will probably build them in the cultural border of my capital. I am currently researching Iron Working (5 or 6 turns to go) hoping that I will get lucky and find Iron in my borders. If I do find iron I will build barracks in all cities and try to get a big army of swordsman to attempt to fight my way out of this crap situation. Other than that the next settler is due in a few turns. |

A GIFT FROM THE GODS
I just got Iron Working and much to my relief I am going to be able to get access to Iron. Who knows maybe I can salvage something from this game yet, however unlikely. |

Man has my luck changed in this game, although I'm nowhere near being out of trouble yet. After thinking that it was amazing that I got iron in my small area, I decided to try my luck at getting horses by researching the wheel straight away, and to my utter disbelief I am now the proud owner of two sources of horses. This may be what allows me to pull myself out of the huge hole I dug for myself.

I see you're not a tight builder. What a cute empire
BTW - what graphics mod is this - snoopy+others?

Sorry Paalikes, not sure what the graphics mod is, I installed a patch that added the Polish as a new civ to see what they had done (cause I'm trying to make my own Australian Civ), and as well as adding the civ it changed the graphics.

Heres a bit of a rundown of what my current plans are, build barracks in all cities, and then since I have horses now, I will start to build War Chariots in all those cities, then once I am convinced that I have enough units I will probably choose to fight India, cause a fight against the Carthage would be too costly given their good defence. Fairly simple, but I think that is the best way for me to get out of this.
