Seems like a good oppertunity to lay down some diplomatic ground work to sort out friend from foe.

Well I've got the Settler, unfortunately I've been beaten to the spot by grahmiam
So now have to quickly pick another. I could go and fill in the peninsula, or I could go further out. The Civ suggested spot would keep my gems safe and give a defensive site on a hill, of I could go towards Azza more to cover those spices. Last edited by Furiey; 07-09-2010 at 12:28. |

1 tile SE of the suggested spot would put you on a plains hill and get both gems and spices in the city cross. The only negative is you lose the forest for chopping

Yes, it would.
4E of my Gems ie: 2E of the Spices, 2S of the gold, 2W of the sugar may also be interesting. I would also give a city to have a go at Azza from or the civ to the N, but also give a city that could nicely be attacked by either/both. |

Yes, that's DZ to the NE now...
ESE of the Civ suggested spot would put me in a good position for that although it would miss the gems. Last edited by Furiey; 08-09-2010 at 15:42. |

I have Iron Working and 1, soon to be 2 sources within my borders.
I should not play when I'm feeling so tired though, but I though I had finished my turn earlier then realised I was the only one stopping the turn end. I hadn't finished moving my settler so was looking to see how it would route and misclicked and sent it unprotected to the hill with my scout where I was looking at settling. No falling ceiling or babies were involved. I thibk I now have to let someone else at least move before I move again, but I can't see anyone within the distance so hopefully I can settle before anyone gets to me. I need more troops and Workers though. |

You have a good view from up on the hill and there are no other settlers in sight so you should be safe.
I see the mongolians have chariots, any sight of keshliks?

No sign of Praets from Azza yet either. |
