Turn 139
Okay, so last turn may not have been all that boring - Hydra razed de_cbble and is now on his way to take de_nuke. Meanwhile Azza has revolted into research civics rather than military ones. Maybe caste is getting him more hammers than slavery would? But I'm sure Theocracy (which he may not have the tech for) or Vassalage would be more useful than Free Religion and Free Speach.
I'm going to join in next turn. I need to get in quick before Azza's rifles stop me. My target is to take de_inferno and de_tuscan. So next turn I'm going to put ten horse archers on tile A in the hope of taking de_inferno the turn after. They could go one tile north, but that makes them slightly more likely to get hit by a catapult. The rest of the stack is going to attack de_tuscan from B. Going on C or D would be safer but B makes attacking de_inferno possible from the hills if the horse archers can't take it. Also note the fort canal on the right of the picture, I wonder if those triremes are heading for me (east) or Hydra (west)?
Mean time this is my Great person matrix, I'm hoping Grimsby spawns a scientist this turn instead of Ipswich spawning a 40% artist/30% scientist, then Lancaster will (with an extra specialist or two) spawn a scientist and Ipswich will spawn a 30% artist/40% scientist. Then with three more scientists I should be in the lead right? Actually I won't bother with Exeter and Oldham - they just aren't going to pop any time soon.
Thanks to Hydra whipping out rifles and burning Azza's cities I'm gaining!
That may not be a good idea.
Fake edit: EOT I discover grimsby spawned an artist
I checked the save and the odds were Prophet 17%, Scientist 75% and Merchant 8% - so did the artist due in Ipswich get spawned in Grimsby somehow? Is this a bug? Can I demand a re-count? I'll wait half an hour to send the save if anyone wants to tell me what happened...
