What about the goody hut? And what about exploration directly west (but not too far) of Apolyton?

The goody hut will be picked up by W5 (who will come only 2 turns after W4) while Apolyton builds our Settler. Exploration to the west of CDG will begin once we build W6 probably, but that will occur after we have our second city down.

Is the hut still there, I very much doubt that to be the case?

(damn, don't remember if the terrain refreshes as far as huts go in the same way cities work)

They don't refresh. I highly doubt that it's still there. In order that we didn't see the CDG Warrior heading north while we headed south means that they would have had to have come from at least 2/3 tiles to the west of W2 'BigFree'. In other words, their path would have taken them right through the goody hut.

If we use cardinal directions mostly for our exploration we uncover more ground.

For instance, Alva moving 2, 2, 6, 6... if we want to 'follow' the east coast uncovers a lot more tiles. Better would be to send him mostly S, as we can be reasonably certain about the E coast (Jungle) for right now. Best bet is 2, 2, 2, 6, 2, 2...

The same principles apply to BigFree as well, wherever we end up heading with him.

RE: Alva's movment, you're probably right. Moving South now will give us the chance of spotting the CDG scout, seeing what he's up to. Also, the coast appears to taper off in a south-ish direction as you look further east, so a more southernly scouting path may work best. Orders changed to 2-6 and I'll figure what to do from there depending upon what we see from there.

MOW orders changed.

Now I see I need to start reading this thread more often to defend myself from personal attacks.

Let me make this clear. I don't micromanage. My ambassadors are not puppets. I do not create plans within plans and write down complicated and detailed instructions that my minions have to follow.

I give my people policy and direction. I assist with wordage and proposals. I plan and approve future contingencies. I manage. I encourage. I teach. I listen. I do not control.

Diplomacy is not liniar like combat. It is an endless fabric of relationships, innuendos, promises, deception, and gamesmanship. I cannot predict the varying shades of gray we will be shown from GCA and trying to write plans for the endless possibilities I CAN reasonably imagine is a pointless endevour.

And, Trip, your pestering certainly doesn't encourage me to try any harder.

Nah. One Apolytonian has (had) a signature stating something like "no plan survives after contact with the enemy".

Yes I know, and you've done a wonderful job keeping everyone organized and that's really all that's necessary. I may not agree with every decision you make, but you're open for discussion.

Trust me, I've seen my share of diplomacy.

Besides, you know I was just kidding.

It depends on how flexible your plan is. If you have precise movements for every unit, then sure, your plan will falter. That's not the kind of planning I do though.

No need for clubs, we've entered the Bronze Age.
