***SPOILER***Beating down Whomp in Civ4 - Page 2

Well, a good start indeed, could not get that kind of start yesterday. But you still have one unworkable desert tile. Cottages for flood plains and river grasslands sounds good. Even some shields from stone tile. Can be enough to support 10-12 cities here.

No 10-12 cities on a wheel map with 7 other civs. Not unless I have this game well in hand

I just found Catherine's borders to the SW by the wheat. I'm thinking that I'm on the right side of the wheel. It looks like I have a good mix of resources. I've already researched Mining & Farming. I just started into Animal Marriages.

Whomp's now a hindu. I met Cathy jest west of the wheat and was blocked by her borders. I met Monty as his scout came strolling by my northern border. My worker is out growing corn and I just finished the warrior. I'll prolly build something else until size 3 then get a settler out.

All 3 early religions have been founded. I pulled my first settler out right after my warrior finished. I just got a chariot out and am thinking I can start chopping forests with a couple more workers to get me up to speed.

At the request of Romeo... an update

My scouting warrior in the north of the fog trail busted a hut for IW

. There's a lion beside him and if he dies from the lion then he had a good run... especially getting IW for me. One thing that I noticed is that Monty is now Cautious towards Bernie and Annoyed with me. A few turns ago it was the opposite. I'm wondering if me jumping up to almost the lead in score has anything to do with it. The scout parked outside my borders is omminous. I've heard that Fraxis got Monty down pat. Appartently he is psycho and will attack anything that moves. That quote that he has when he meets you "Let the peace between us last until there is no more room to expand" is true for his part so I'm building a decent defense. Iron ore just north of my borders is going to help, but he has iron too

This screenie show what I think is the "hub of the wheel". Bernie tried to attack me... the fool.... but he claims that it wouldn't let him declare. bah... I sent him a message saying that "soon my numberless scout will destroy you"

it looks like the warrior that figured out the art of shaping iron has run out of luck

I met Roosevelt and he's a Buddhist. So it looks like all of the religions are on the other side of the wheel which sucks for me. I might go for Confusion.

Here is my guesses on where everyone is located. The circles are where they have cities. The squares are where I met them. Monty in the upper right is confirmed as is Cathy in the south. And I'm in the east. I haven't seen any other borders. Bernie know's everyone except Cathy. Actually Cathy doesn't know anyone. Monty only knows me and Bernie which might suggest that Mao and Bernie are switched positions. It's confirmed that no one is currently in the SE. The SW is probably the 7th civ. The reason for 7 was that was what was already in the setup so I figured (incorrectly) that the game knew that you need a power of 2 number of civs on this map.

I'm currently in the lead for score and I believe also techs. I offered Bernie a chance at survival past the Ancient Ages if he gives me his second city of Orleans. He said no. I'm concerned about Monty to the north of me. He'll eventually attack me I know, so I'm going to plant my cities in that direction and hopefully I can take his too. Then fill in toward the hub and to the south.

I think that the map above is wrong. I think, but can't yet confirm that there is a spoke for each civ (no extra ones). I'm the first to Alpha and am trading techs around.

Bernie decided to declare on me and was beside my second city. I squashed his warrior flawlessly with one of my 3 Keshiks. I'm glad he did that because I was about to go after Monty to the North. But after this and me not knowing where his homeland is, I decided to trade a tech (I think Poly) for Monty going after Bernie.

So now Bernie has two maybe 3 civs (maybe China will join in since they are pretty chummy with the Aztecs) after his blood.

I think that I might be able to convince Cathy to go after him too if he ever meets her. Right now I know all of the civs and Bernie is just lacking knowledge of the fine Cathy of Russia. She slapped me over a trade proposal and it never felt better
