BTW, don't be allarmed at the post in the public PTWDG II Forum. I'm posting a "Fake" start location for us in there. I'm telling them that Team Sunshine wants to be the first to introduce an "openess" policy and welcome other teamms to help us discuss our start location. I will tell them not to expect a lot of screen shots, but some form time to time, to further lure them into thinking that it is real!

I will reveal that is is fake before our next turn.

Edit: I just posted there like it was an accident, I will remove the image soon.

I decided that the "fake" should just look like an accidentel posting, as in it went into the wrong froum. I will edit it later, in a couple of hours.

So, Woog, what do you think we should do with our settler?

Stay were we are and move the worker south (move keypad 2) to Sunshinia #5 to Irrigate the Floodplains and then road. We should have the city work #2 until the first Warrior is completed

and for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a WorkForce Chart (WF) for convaying orders that relate to the cities:



Also, We need to research Pottary and set the % at 100%.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I have made a web page for our team. I'm 100% sure how to use it, but I'm trying out new things. Do not laugh, it is not very Sunshiny!

Team Sunshines Web Page

You might want to book mark that page now for future reference.

Also we are using our chat channels again. The information on how to join the channels in in the "Welcome" Thread. The password is "MrHappyPants." Try to pop in when you are browsing Poly, I'm usually in there along with ET, Trip, Togas, and I've even seen Woog, IIRC.

I will try to keep as many screen shots on my web page as possible.

Do people think it's a good idea to post the save there as well?

Anyways, I will post the pics here that I have on my web page.





The moves ET and I decided on are apparent. Except maybe the move to the flood plains.

I will copy an excerpt from our chat here:

[23:37] E_T> we are non-industrious so irrigation is 4 turns [23:38] BigFree> right [23:38] E_T> We have the city work #2 for the next 5 turns to get that warrior built [23:38] E_T> at that time, the worker will have finished the move and irrigation of #5 [23:39] E_T> we switch to #5 and get the faster growth for the next pop point, it just delays the next warrior, but by just a bit [23:40] BigFree> ok, sounds good [23:40] E_T> We also need to start researching Pottery for a granary [23:40] BigFree> yes, I wholeheartedly agree! [23:40] E_T> and make the % at 100 % [23:41] BigFree> To bad we dont know who are neighbors are, they may have it already [23:41] BigFree> some times I choose a tech that I'm sure no one has [23:42] BigFree> Its a gamble though

We are going to work the shielded tile for five turns to buil the warrior, then we will switch the WF to work the irrigated flood plain, to gain the food bonus. Our second build will be another warrior, then likely either another warrior or a granery. We will have to discuss.

In my PBEM games, I make 3 warriors and then start on a Granary (or prebuild to one if need be). Then, If we get a warrior from a hut, we aren't at too much of a deficit. And if not, we only run a deficit when the garnary is built and the first settler is on it's way to the next site.

Priorities should be figuring out the location of our next city(ies), as we want to REX like mad.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

When we get our warrior I would like to see him move to the SE. There is another flood plains there. I would like to see what is around it. Our second warrior should go SW to see what else we can find along the river.

I like to stagger walk my scoutting units because it explores more territory. For example, if our second warrior moves 1-1-1 it will reveal 6 tiles but moving 1-2-4 will reveal 7 tiles.

The first warrior I would move 6-6. It will get the sight advantage of the hill and it will be able to see some of the tiles next to the second flood plain.

I've found that everyone always wants to move in a South direction for our first explorations.

I want to move North, into the hills with our first warrior. And East with our second.

I would like to build 5 warriors in a row if we stumble upon any huts with our first warrior (indicates huts are present), othre wise only 3, then the Granery. With 3 warriors, 2 explore, 1 stays home. With 5 warriors, 4 explore, 1 stays home. Huts are the biggest advantages in the early game. If they are present, I want to find the most. The finding of our neighbors for tech deals is also very high on the list. With more scouts, we can have more contacts and cross trade techs with contacts.

Being that this is a 'local' game, we can count on plenty of easy going trading early on.
