Turn 155
Sorry no pictures - I'm on my holls on a crappy laptop. Some interesting stuff happened though - Hydra offered peace and 120 gold. I'm happy to take him up on that even though he did destroy most of that stack of badly-promoted rifles and grenadiers and burnt Lancaster. I presume he was worried I'd kill his remaining units (20 rifles and 10 cav) but I could only have got about five or six and would have lost some more of mine, so this seems like a good deal to me.
I've whipped a settler out of Halifax to hopefully re-settle Lancaster one tile further north next turn - invalidating a couple of good city spots for him and keeping control of that inland sea, but losing the fish. I'll have to settle another city for the fish at some point.
With the military panic over I've dialled down the Nationalism research again until the universities are complete and will now revolt to nationalism in about four turns - so will have only about 15 drafted rifles next time Hydra can come for me.
In the east Azza accepted my gift of the MOM city - I'm not sure how smart this move really was - but he's got a bunch of rifles within walking distance, and at the time that I made the decision I couldn't afford a two-front war. I hope he's going to send the rifles at Serdoa some time soon...
So back to builder mode for a little while.
