	Mobile Army!? Increase the size of your Attachments

Okay, now that we know for certain that we have horses close to us, I propose a long term plan. I'm a big fan of swordsman rushes...but we have one of the best UUs in the game with the Chinese Rider. I propose we get a settler over to that area and hook up horses now. If we avoid getting horseback riding for a while we can build a mass of chariots for eventual upgrade to Riders. We'd need lots of cash and some swords for a deterrent to keep people from attacking us before we get to Riders, but we can wreak havoc once we have them!!!

Thoughts?

Sounds good. We even have our backwardness as an excuse not to trade for it should Sunshine research it.

We shouldn't be too hasty to send the settler though, as we first need a road to make it worthwhile. Hayseed can road & mine the tile W of Egg Roll as his next project after his current river bonus grass to start things off, and we can then send another worker out further eventually.

For now, I think we should continue to focus on spears and, once Buffet gets to 10 spt, some warriors for MP now and upgrade later. If we build enough spears and warriors now, we can focus on chariots/horsemen all that more exclusively later.

Exactly. We need defense and some sword attackers so getting those out of the way now is great. Then we're free to concentrate on producing chariots. Buffet would be able to produce 2-turn chariots at 10spt.

I suppose I should have clarified that I didn't mean we get a settler there without some workforce first. Speaking of that, I'd like to see Chow's build queue changed to worker.

Oh, and also we'll need an escort for the workers. There are barbs over there.

I think we'd waste a turn's production if we switched Chow next turn, but we could do a worker there after this settler.

You're right. I hadn't realized we'd already have 12 shields toward the settler by next turn (hadn't opened the current save yet). So strike my request and it can wait until the turn after.

I like the idea of riders. If we are going to do this, I suggest we try to get Leo's.
