[SPOILERS]Novice, Spacemanmf and Athlete4life10 are HUYANA CAPAC OF CHINA

It would have been nice to play this out properly against Ruff, a turn a day, to see what we could have done, but it's far too dull to manage this size of empire vs the AI.

Yeah, I poked around a bit with the save myself, but proper micromanagement took me about half an hour per turn, which is okay if you're playing a turn a day, but not when you're playing the AI. The current turns are especially heavy on micromanagement, with cities coming out of revolt, a golden age, random improvements lacking in our conquered lands, and settler races in all directions.

Yeah, I could only manage a few turns in a session without going crazy, and I just put the governor on for all cities, happy to let them work unimproved tiles if there were no improved tiles.

I was purely interested in the effect of rush-buying intelligence agencies, etc, everywhere to see the effect on our EPs. Build paths were granary-forge-intelligence agency-jail generally, with the occasional pavilion thrown in if border pops were needed.

There were still quite a few EP builds to go so I could easily have exceeded the total above.

I think Ruff's EP economy would soon have been neutered.
