I have it. I probably won't play today, so if people have opinions/advice, go for it. I don't see any big questions except for the pyramid thing.

Hmm...we have stone, so we could give it a try. Although I would rather like to see an Oracle slingshot. I guess, Oracle and Pyr is unlikely.

If we try and fail we at least get a lot of money for our research.

One thing you need to be sure of is that we do not loose any hammers that have been put into the settler while the warior is finishing. The warior is 11 turns IIRC? That may well be enough to start losing hammers, but I have no idea how it works. Anyone know?

What to build in the new city? I would vote for settler.

Which tile to improve around Thebes? I guess it has to be the cows.

What to name the new city? No naming strategy has been sugested so far, and I guess it should not be too profane as we must post at CFC.

The pyramids with stone takes 50% more hammers than the oracle without marble. The AI normally gets it long after the oracle, so it is probably less risky. I would guess the winning team will get both, but perhaps the hammers would be better put into an army. I do not know.

well, we've already chopped 3 forests for settlers. We have 2 more immediate forests and then we get diminishing returns from the rest. That is, if we decide to build it in the capitol. I guess we could try for the oracle in the Northern town of BurgerKing (or whatever Beam nicknamed it). It could have a 3 forests for chopping both the Oracle and the Pyramids and since it's going to be a GP town, it'll fit nicely with what it's doing.

Still no bed_head. Shall I play tomorrow if he hasn't and put him on deck as next player?

I posted my "got it" three above yours. Should be able to finish tonight. Will at least be starting soon.

2290 BC (0) - No changes or anything to make pre-turn.

IT - Animal Husbandry learned. Since we are discussing pyramids, go for masonry.

2260 BC (1) - Settle Memphis on the desert west of the copper. Begin a settler.

2020 BC (9) - Warrior finishes, start the settler (no hammers were lost towards the settler).

And that was it, save for some worker moves. I started roading the cow, by accident, as I forgot it would already be hooked up via the river (cost of my not having played much). I took a screenshot, but then accidentally copied text over it. Sorry. Anyway, there is a barb just outside of Thebes' borders, and the warrior we just built is in the tile next to it, in the forest.

I thought we were going with writing?

bedhead -> just played

I would much rather have writing than masonary, but we only have 3 turns left on it so I guess we have to finish it.

Any big questions? Next tech could be writing, or it could be fishing so we can use the clams and the fish at burger king. No great urgency though I guess.

[EDIT] I thought I had better say that it is not usually worth chopping tundra forest not on a river, as you cannot build anything on that tile.

Beam · 17-05-2006, 14:08

We need fishing once we get health issues which there aren't any atm.

In my turn the settler finishes, I plan to start another warrior.

Settler > Burger King plains.

Masonry > Writing.
