millitary orders 2000BC
although I didn't get the info about the units we have to go on so here is the millitary poll:

first of all Domnion seems to have a problem supporting it's units...there are 1 warrior(in the city), 1 horsemen and 1 archer.
I suggest we get rid of the warrior and get the archer into the city.

the other archer near Dominion where will we send it? I would like it to fill the arctic black south of Dominion instead of moveing even further away from our cities

as I would suggest for the other archer(but then for the NW airea.

You have 2 days(Sorry MWIA, but I was waiting for additional info)
For all info check the map:

Let the horsemen travel outwards fast to find the other civs. We can fill in the black areas later as other exploring units are produced. It would be really good to have archers in our cities when the other civs inevitably find us, but they can still explore locally a bit before they garrison the cities. The other civs aren't going to find us *that* fast. (having said that, I now expect an AI horseman to show up on the very next turn!)

But this is a risk game and we want to be aggressive, so I say we go for fast discovery and take the battle to the enemy...

or just let them find us, exchange maps and follow the straight line back they used to get to us. ... at least there are no oceans so the AI can't use the insinkable triremes

use the horseman to pop huts, after each hut move him in the direction of the next one following the hut pattern.

you could just use hutfinder which does the same thing but only saves you time

Disband the warrior and move the archer to the center of the square there-then to more of the area around Glorificus. The horsemen should uncover as much new land as they can, and the archers(and future exploring units) can fill in the gaps.
There may be a hut in the center of those rings around Glorificus(at least there would be if I made this map), but it would be good to know if their wasn't one, too.

No problem - I have resent the save, this time to everyon individually, and not as a group. That may be the problem, as I have had no issue with sending save files to a single person or even two people before using that emailer. The only other reason I can think of for such problems is that someone's email is wrong and thus mine refuses to send to ANYONE. I have resent things, and have been getting positive return receipts so far.

It was just brought to my attention that we also in Imperialis seem to have a shield shortage...I suggest we do the same as in Dominion: kill the warrior, send the archer between imperialis and Glorificus to Imperialis.

and pay attention when we build units(especially settlers!! )

I think the problem was caused when a unit from a hut was homed to Imperialis.

there is an easy way to solve this problem...let our cities grow a little (size 3) before starting to build an army of settlers... when our cities keep shifting between 2 and 1 the instability will keep causing troubles like this.

Sorry i missed the poll but for what its worth i think we need to explore as much as possible with the horses, AND the archers where prudent. (arctic, mountains, etc.) This is a large map, and even if there are 7 civs they could be spaced far aprat. I have played a similar game where each civ was at least 3 turns away in a transport, and it takes alot of time and resources to ship chain that. We need to find the other civs as early as possible and start takeing them out or before we know it we will he in 1850 trying to nuke three civs out of existance. Wait, i kinda like that... ...but no we need to play smart

edit: Zedd chex his spellcheck, yep, it wurks

I agree completely. I don't like to force settlers from very small cities because they are inherently unstable. I favor population emphasis to size 3 and then you are freer to use them for settlers and they support military units better.

It really helps to have a few workers that you can move around according to immediate needs for food and shields.

well the one benefit if your paying attention and willing to sacrifice the trade for one turn is putting the workers on production if your worries about shield deficits.

build sets as quickly as possible IMO....then you can garrison extra troops to them...and avoid shield deficits.

sometimes this is tricky, but if your paying attention, you should be able to put enough workers on production and take the science hit.

Well, yes, but the problem in Imperialis is that the food is at 0, the shields at -1, and the lone worker is already on a forest the most shield-productive terrain we have available.

That would have been OK while the settler went to build a city, but a hut-unit homed to Imperialis.
