1440BC: Warrior on Pigs is attacked by an Archer and dies (despite Combat 1 and Archer 1). Warrior in the cap kills the Archer.

1400BC: BW, 3 sources of Copper are in the vicinity. After some pondering I decide to go for the gems spot first as Arabia already is very close to it. Start Archery.

1360BC: Settler ready, prebuild for the next settler is started, it will switch to an Archer once the tech is there.

1280BC: Settle Tlatelolco > Obelisk because it is next to Arabian borders.

1240BC: Hinduism spreads in Tlatelolco

. No need for the Obelisk anymore > Rax.

1160BC: Archery. Three most useful techs are Writing (11), Pottery (7) and IW (20). Choose Pottery for the cottages as the cities will be busy with Archers / Settlers for a while. 20 turns for IW is bit to long to my liking.

A played quite a number of Emperor games and my general experience is some Archer defenses are really needed.

I'll play tomorrow morning.

1120 b.c. [enter]

1080 b.c. Move worker to forest for chopping duty. We should switch to slavery soon.

ibt Russia asks for open borders. We have nothing to gain, so I decline. Another arabian archer/settler combo shows up, probably moving to the bronze in the north. We need to grab the bronze in the west soon.

1040 b.c. Start chopping. Science up to 90%.

1000 b.c. Archer in Teotihuacan, starts on a worker. We need more culture in Tlatelolco, the arabian border has moved over the gems.

975 b.c. Our capital grows to size 5, produces archer, starting on a settler (completed in 2). I send the archer west, for scouting. I think that's where our next city needs to be anyway.

That's 5 turns, next!

Save is here.

How come we're only doing 5 turns now? (yes i appreciate this could be a stupid question but i thought i best ask)

Shabbaman · 21-07-2006, 14:46

Hm, I don't know. But we have so many players that I think that if we play more turns you don't get to see the game that often.

BCLG100 · 21-07-2006, 14:48

Oh right ok, i dont mind i was just wondering-making sure i'd do the same

Shabbaman · 21-07-2006, 15:20

Well, I was wondering myself as well. It could just as well be that Beam found it too warm to play longer.

Furiey · 21-07-2006, 16:16

I think Beam only reported the turns when anything happened, considering I left it on 1600 BC and Beam left it on 1160 BC I think that makes 11 turns.

So that you all know, I'm going to be away from Monday 24 until 8 August on holiday in Egypt so no Civ! You'll have to skip me if I come up.

grahamiam · 21-07-2006, 16:53

I'm out of town Friday thru Sunday, please skip me if I'm up.

BCLG100 · 21-07-2006, 17:18

graham should i take on the rock on turns if we actually get any?
