Pop that hut? Support Apolyton



Do we pop it now? Later? Much later?

Post your thoughts.

My only thought is this: CDG's warrior is headed our way and he'll eventually find that hut. We need to pop it at some point before they try to steal it from us.

The main thing about the hut...we're playing on emperor level. Huts are more often than not barbs on this level. There is always a chance we'll get something good, but not as nice of a chance as if this were regent level.

Pop it now.

Possible outcomes: Settler, tech, warrior, gold, nothing, barbs

In order to pop a settler, you must not be above the average number of cities. (You also must not be building a settler, but that's easy to take care of.) If we wait, we might get up to our third city before popping it; if so, we might not have a chance at a settler. Besides, a free settler now will have even more impact than a free settler later.

The tech we would likely get right now is Ceremonial Burial, which costs only two tech points, doesn't provide anything very desirable right now,, and is not required for techs that are desirable until it's time to go to the Middle Ages. In short, not very good. But, the only way to prevent this is to get CB from somewhere, and we have no guarantee we will anytime soon.

Gold and nothing are just as good now as they will be later.

Barbs would likely be more easily handled later, but the hut is far enough away from apolyton that I think we could handle them before they endangered the worker or worked tiles.

Pop the hut. The (possible) advantages outweigh the (possible) disadvantages.

Pop it, Barbs are wimps in Conquests, I have usually seen at the most one attack out of three barbs, the others usually move away or fortify.

We might even get a veteran warrior out of it.

If they move away from the Warrior, they'll be heading towards the capital...

Suffering from ads?

With the cowardice of conquests barbs I doubt there is any real trouble. At most one will probably attack our warrior and even if they head towards the capital the most they could possibly do would be disrupt workers/settlers.

Assuming our warrior is alive and undamaged, we should attack a barb on light terraign. If that isn't possible, then move the warrior onto a hill.

(If the barb closes to Appolyton heads towards there, the garison there can handle it.)

But darn it, I wish there was a VCR so that we would know for sure what happens on the barbarbain turn.

If we had been last in the turn order, we would have known/seen what happened. The game is still imbalanced despite all the, ahem, patches.
