Turn 53
I woke up a bit early thinking about CIV, so I thought I might as well be playing... Against the bear the combat odds were fairly stacked for us, but we won't get odds on another bear just yet. With woodsman on a forest hill Lunch would be 3.15 while on a flat forest he's 2.9. But until next turn when we can take woodsman he's only 2.95 or 2.7.
I'd like to head for the forest hill next to the pigs next turn, the tile S of the pigs should be a lake (no waves) and I think there is ocean a couple of tiles to the W of the pigs, which we can explore with a galley or work boat soon. So this turn we could wait on the dye (and get a 68% shot against a hypothetical panther sitting on the fogged forest) or move east or west (and get a 31% shot if there is another bear there or 79% if there is a lion or panther). Thanks to Cyneheard's combat calculator for the odds and for dragging out an otherwise easy decision into half an hour of waffle... So I moved and uncovered even more goodies. I think we go here next turn.
BoP and Cannae both grow next turn. And Jowy/Black Sword got the Oracle and took a classical tech with it, they haven't got any yet so I assume it was metal casting. This is stronger play than I expected from Jowy, who isn't even IND...
Demos - Yurimack has 50 000 soldiers, while rival best is 75 000. At this point in the game that seems crazy, but if they can take a capital then perhaps it'll work out for them...
