New WF next turn will be 1-2-12 (flood plain, flood plain, wheat).

We'll keep that 3 turns, then do a single turn of 1-4-12, then back to 1-2-12 for 3 more turns.

As for construction, our next Jaguar will be done next turn. Start on the third Jaguar, which will only take 5 turns, after which we start that crucial first settler.

Btw... if we find a civ to jaguar rush, we may want to put a barracks after the first settler so that our pumped jaguars are veterans rather than regulars. Being a militaristic civ, that will only cost 20 shields.

So the tradeoff is having 2 more regular Jaguars or having the rest of the Jaguars be vets. Up to you guys.

I say we go for vets. They'll have more attack potential than two more reg jags in the long run. That also makes the likelihood of a leader that much more.

'Build Barracks sire, or would you see your soldiers bunking out in the latrines??!'

Veterans also have a higher change of retreating if things looks ugly.

Always build a barracks IMO but perhaps we may find a civ really close to us w/o bronze working, then getting units there faster may be an option.

Assume that a defender has bronze working. Do not assume, however, that he will necessarily build spearmen early. Many people build only warriors because they're cheaper and can be upgraded to swords with iron. Then they build archer stacks to invade their closest neighbor.

However, this is MP... a civ we plan to Jaguar rush will likely know by then that we are their neighbor and will build at least one or more spears. So plan on them being there if we wait long enough.

That said... is it better to hit with some number of regular jags early and hope we find someone w/o spears or to hit with vet jags a bit later, assuming they'll have at least 1 spear guarding the capital?
