late update.
One thing I didn't mention was that I got a GM two turns ago and had started moving it towards TT.
It got within his borders and I sent a worker to road under it, so I could get to his city in a turn. He closed borders.
I didn't realize that GM's ignore closed borders... but I couldn't get to his city that turn and I was unsure if he might declare - cornflakes has a numidian nearby, and he might declare to kll the GM, too,.
So, I kicked off a GA, instead AP in 2, oxford in 3, mil trad next turn.
TT has rep parts, which is next for me.
TT asked for 200 gold, for nothing. I'm not sure why. I did not take him up on it - maybe it was meant to be a bribe for him to open borders again? He didn't mention OB in the trade.
declared on B4ndit, who is a turn from guiilds. I'm a turn from curaissers, maybe 3-5 from cavalry.
Also, planted End Times
Planting that city increased my costs by 9 and my research by 28! (part of that was, of course, that this was my 4th 1 tile city for the lighthouse trade routes)
Also, the city I took from C-H came out of anarchy and I renamed it Kafkaesque.
it was going to starve, so I whipped in a lighthouse. Next will be a court and then probably a theater, unless I attack C-H before then. But I think that b4ndit will take awhile, especially since I have several other fronts to defend.
