	T104 - 490bc Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Setting up in advance:

Polytheism completes this turn. Set slider to max tax.

City builds:

1) Ciao completes horseman. Re-arrange WF for best shield output, and build another. I think the hill mine will be done relatively soon, so allocating 1 citizen there might be a good idea.

2) Izz completes worker. Size5, 15f. Set WF for +5fpt (and +9spt I think) and build another worker.

3) Rush galley in New Plymouth (116g).

Unit moves:

1) Move settler into position to build on the ruins of Mandril. Seek and destroy Monkey warrior that was on those ruins last turn, if possible. Garrison for the city depends on what we see. I'd rather not use the spearman for that if we can avoid it. We have 2 vet warriors that can do the job if there are no hostile units about. That way our attack stack will have a defender (hopefully we can eventually get the spearman south of Silkfest to join up too).

2) Move main attack group southward, as best we can. The spear south of Silkfest (SF12, IIRC) should continue southward. The spear at SF4 should move into SF. I believe I moved the regular archer from Corinth to SF4 too, and I'd say we move him southward... possibly to eventually bust up the barb camp on the coast

3) Spearman at SF12 moves south, or southwest if possible (angling towards linkup with main group).

4) Galleys move 112 (one should move 224 to get some exploring in).

5) Frustrated Poet probably stays put, with the 3 warriors near him moving to join him.

6) 5 warriors near Silesia should be split up... let's send 2 to the east coast by Burundy & Coventry to help close off any surprise landings near those undefended cities. Keep them on roads, though. Let's move the other three towards Badcrumble. At least one will probably go to New Plymouth. Dunno about the others.

Diplo:

If they haven't already done it, establish an embassy with Tabemono. Check the tech situation to see if we have any tech they don't.

If I play the turn, I will get a screenshot or two up. If Cort plays it, that's up to him. Sorry for not taking screenies last turn. I got lazy.

We have the turn. If there's no band rehearsal tonight, I can play it in a few hours, otherwise I can play it around 1am to 2am tonight GMT.

I had a quick look at the save - no sign of the Tabemono galley. Dumpy & Frumpy are OK, no Monkey units visible.

Cool.

I can play the save around 7pm EST (which would be midnight your time, IIRC). So if you do have band, I can handle it. Otherwise, go ahead and play it.

What about the new worker, Izz104? He could form the 'Swindon 3' and join the other two on the hill.

Surely Python's stack will move 1 next turn, onto the road?

Oh my. Tabemono went with a REALLY tight build.

Ok, the new worker... hmm. The problem is that his joining the others at Sw2 may not speed their work, and I think the three would be out of synch.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: how long does it say until the road at SW2 finishes? How long until the stooges are done mining?

Good for SS, I guess.


Doh, I'm stupid, sorry, 2 turns for the stooges to mine. Bit nevermind that. I was thinking about putting together a team of 4 (6 turns to clear jungle, 1 turn to irrigate, but that's not stable because of 3 worker-turns required to road).

Hmm, actually no matter what I do that's going to be a problem, unless we mine all the cleared tiles (nope, we will need irrigation).

Damn.

The new worker: screw it, just send him to Silesia33. The team of 3 at Sil3, once they're done with what they're doing, can cross the river and help out Plymouth. The new guy can develop Sil33 at a slow pace.

How's that?

Izzardia: I forget, does it build one more worker before switching to Horsemen?

Ciao: how many spt can we squeeze out of it?

3 turns for the one worker that's already roading Sw-2. The second just joined.

The Stooges are done mining in 2 turns.

By the way, I find 618 gold with a tech lead on us distinctly scary.

Other things of note: despotism still, building vet warriors.

I smell a massive upgrade - it seems to me they're getting ready to lay a whoopin' on somebody.
