Sounds good. Let me know if you need / want any assistance in any DM aspects.

UnOrthOdOx · April 29, 2003, 17:14

Let me get that second city up, and Ill start dishing them out/organizing

GodKing · April 29, 2003, 17:50

So, nest term then... ok.

8 (or more) cattle tiles nearby would do it for me!

A food bonus that would bring it in the full radius if I moved W instead. I dont want to move more than one turn. Anything further away will make a good site for a settler pump as the first city out.

Why two warriors? Shouldn't we build at least one more scout, and take advantage of our expansionist trait?

Edit: Granted, we'll need protection from those raging hordes. But without building any scouts, I think we're losing out on part of that civ trait.

Panzer32 · April 29, 2003, 23:59

"DM minister" = Domestic Minister minister??

anyways, I agree with Kloreep. We should build at least 2 more explorers. Barbarians do not tend to be such a big problem for the first 10 turns, so I don't see an undefended city as that big a deal.

MrWhereItsAt · April 30, 2003, 00:31

Really? A bonus?

And, if we don't use it for the Capital, I propose the city name "Asgard" - home of the Gods.

Of course, that would be PERFECT for the capital... (nudge, wink)

EDIT: Or maybe not.... Valhalla was within Asgard, so perhaps we chould consider naming our landmass Asgard instead...

Noted and changed. Thanks.

I don't have any experience in Deity, but... Well, those Ottomans aren't so aggressive, but they have 2 spears in their second city. We may need some extra protection, just in case...

UnOrthOdOx · April 30, 2003, 09:19

We have a decision at present. We can either produce a THIRD scout, or a SECOND warrior before our first settler (due in 11 turns).

Personally I favor military units, but am willing to hear opinions/arguements for the scout.

MrWhereItsAt · April 30, 2003, 09:22

Warrior. Once our scouts have got out this far, another will not help considerably. Warriors have attack and defense values, can bring martial law and if I build a Warrior then we can convince Uber we are getting him those Swords he wants so badly...

UnOrthOdOx · April 30, 2003, 09:25

Im a bit worried that both our scouts are heading N, though. minimap suggests we are already a bit to the norther end, another to head south/east?

Donegeal · April 30, 2003, 09:41

Definately a Warrior. Raging hords on Deity. We get 0 Att/Def bonus against Barbs at this level.

i disagree. this land seems less like an island than any civ map i've seen before (albiet, this is human made). i'd like to explore north, west, and east at the same time.

but it can wait. i can see why a warrior makes sense.

as you were.

Aro · April 30, 2003, 09:56

Warrior.

Hot Mustard · April 30, 2003, 10:08

Warrior, definitely.

badams52 · April 30, 2003, 13:12

One more scout would help us pop more huts. Could be warrior then scout, but another scout would be beneficial.

GodKing · April 30, 2003, 15:39

Warrior, to help keep the people happy. I don't see any lux anywhere. D*mn, that will hurt.

Panag · May 1, 2003, 00:11

GeneralTacticus · May 1, 2003, 03:39

My official name suggestion: Halls of Tactigard.

DM orders, 3500 BC
Godking substituting for UnOrthOdOx

I am preparing orders now. Based off of the new poll, it appears donegeals tight plan is currently favored.

Build Queue:
As we will need 15 turns until we grow large enough to make a settler, and as we are on deity without benifit of any luxuries (thanks map makers) we will need at least two units keeping order. That means we can do only a couple of things at this time.

Option A: Two warriors
Option B: One warrior and one scout
Option C: One archer
Option D: One spear.

Although option B gives us another scout (to try and find a goodie hut with something in it), I prefer option A as that will allow us to send one warrior with the new settler. Unless I hear dissent, that is the option I choose.

Build Queue: (if I did my math right with the worker orders, there should be no wasted turns for the settler, the turn we make size 3 we produce the settler).
Warrior (4 turns)
Warrior (3 turns)
Settler (8 turns)
Barracks (Doubt we will get this far, but just in case)

Worker orders:
Although I usually prefer to mine first when being non-industrial, with this being deity we need to optimize. If we road first then mine, the turn we reach size 3 we will have a settler. Nothing wasted and we get a bit of extra gold.

Have the worker road where she is at. (3 turns)
Once complete, mine this location. (6 turns)
Once complete, road the tile due north of the capitol using the road to command (3 turns).
If we get beyond this mine said tile north of the capitol (6 turns).

Setter orders:
As I only expect us to be playing between 10-15 turns, I do not think that we will be placing the new city at this time. If we do go beyond this, then the city will have the default civ3 name until UnOrthOdOx can return and take control.

If the city is a go, we will found donegeals Green Location first (as it is easy to get to and is a high production location). It can also share some of our capitals existing improvements until they both grow.
