[SPOILERS] Welcome to the Kuro Corporation! (Kuro and BaII)

[Kuro]

We've probably got neighbors connected to us somehow: I expect the northern ice stuff, which still had a ways to go, connects to someone, and this path might (Or it will connect to a "middle").

Pretty much anything we find, WilliamLP can get to, so yeah.



Scout died despite an 89% chance of victory. D: Pretty much ends any exploration we may have had over here for a while (We should get out an exploring boat at some point).

On the plus side...



David Buck founded AND, surprises of surprises, it doesn't bring us down from 80% science! This greatly helps our science rate (12 beakers -> 16 beakers). Buick is a fairly crap city, but at least the Lake is 3 food after a Lighthouse and it has decent commerce. It's slow growth means it is unlikely to be whipped often (Probably will for a Lighthouse), so it'll probably just stay at max size whenever it gets to it and work maximum commerce tiles (Two Grassland Cottages + Lake + Coast). With TGL this will be a decent early game source of commerce, at least (Size 4 will mean working 4 commerce from water + 2 Cottages, in addition to 3 TRs, with each happiness adding 2 more commerce).

More roading completed. Both Sam Walton and Standard Oil will grow at EOT and Standard Oil will produce a Warrior in 2T, while Walton will take 3T (But growing will knock it down to 2T): Buick is building a Warrior but will switch to a Lighthouse when we discover Sailing as we want the Lighthouse'd Lake ASAP for any kind of growth. If we have enough Worker labor we may want to farm the Grassland to get it to a decent size, then Cottage them after.

At our current pace, Masonry will take 7T BTW.



This power increase...WilliamLP's score went up this turn, is it a tech?



Wetbandit also had a mid-turn score increase: that may be their first city. We're on our third. Imperialistic!

Azza also had a mid-turn score decrease, so whipping.
