Right. So they'll all (Stooges) go to Cor-6 this turn then, nor Cor-9.

Oh, since Silkfest is now the southern barracks town by default, what about sending our warriors there (or rather close to there), starting now? We can rush a barracks down there once Python's army starts moving, and then upgrade our warriors, move out and turn over the town?

Settler moved 888.

Ok, time to decide about our western unit moves (scout, warrior, 3/4 horse, and the chariots).

If we wish to block LL, we can move the warrior9, the Horseman48 (or the scout), and the northern chariot 41.

I think we should force the warrior east, to stop him going south - unless we'd rather he stayed away from our and Python's borders.

10 warriors moved to Swindon12, one more on Swindon1 (he only had 1/3 move left because I moved him from Silesia to Swindon first, wasting 1/3 move).

We shouldn't put them in SF until we're about ready to upgrade and pick a fight. Monkey could investigate the city and see the attack coming.

I think the best spot for them to hang out is SF8. They are safe from prying eyes then and are only 1 turn out from the city. SF77 is actually the best, because it would allow moving into the city and upgrading on the same turn, but hiding the warriors from Monkey would require a line of spearmen (3) that would be quite conspicuous on its own.

to delay meeting Monkey, was the idea, but counting tiles he wouldn't meet them any earlier moving directly south

I moved the western units to block LL's warrior. He can move due south next turn if he wants (or I could use the 3/4 horse to block that tile, leaving him only 1 option: southwest).

I actually think a settler.

Oh man, our southern scout is now in position where he could cut Monkey's road next turn in neutral territory. Heh. Think that would start a war?

re: Settler in Burundy.

If we shortrush a warrior next turn (8gpt), we could shave a turn off a settler build.

We can use the road on our way south, though

Good point. Wanna do that, then? That one can be the "combat settler" and the next one out of Izz can build out west.

Yeah, but cutting that road would hurt their ability to reinforce the north, and it might get them to attack us, meaning we would get a happiness boost. Perhaps we should not move him next turn?

Yes, maybe it can build on the ashes of whatever Monkey is about to build on those hills. Settlers make fast roads on hills!

True, but we don't want them to attacks us before we're ready.
Pausing next turn sounds interesting.

So, Monte de Venus is only about 15 tiles due west of Ciao. We could do with Python spitting a galley out there to see how far. If it's a short hop, they can safely deliver military / settlers to our continent. If not, we're a lot safer.
