Turn 103 part one
Mostly_harmless beat TBS/Jowy to colossus
Although they only have 52 gold so maybe they weren't building it (unless the failgold appears next turn?) TBSJ won't be that bothered - they got the Hindu Shrine to make up for it. Open borders with them might be a problem if we want to stay Taoist... Lord Parkin keeps trying to find that axe and I'm sending Rowain back towards France.

We met plako, the borders of either of these cities could pop at any moment and block our progress, so I'll just push forward and see if I can uncover a city tile. I think France is a snakey continent, not an island.

In the war zone the Barb Axe is joining in too, almost as if Suttree was communicating with it somehow... I've moved Yossarian, but didn't want to do anything else just yet.

To take my mind off the war I thought I'd amuse myself with some known-tech calculations:
We're producing 127 base beakers per turn, so I don't really understand why most of those are lower. Do you subtract the expenses from the adjusted beakers and culture?
Culture = 2+1+2+1+1+1+0+1+1+0 = 10
Income = 7
Expenses = 66
Espionage = 4
10 + 7 - 66 + 4 = -45
Col and Compass we can be fairly sure we don't get a known-tech bonus on, so 127 * 1.2 = 152 (rounded down) - 45 = 107
For AH we should get:
127 * 1.4 * KTB = 45 + 146
so KTB = 191/177.8 = 1.079
For Myst
127 * KTB = 45 + 93
KTB = 1.0866
For Alpha (which we know only m_h has):
127 * 1.2 * KTB = 45 + 108
KTB = 1.004
For MC (which two players have):
127 * 1.2 * KTB = 45 + 109
KTB = 1.01
All of which means that we'll get an extra 12 beakers because of waiting so long to get AH and six extra for Mysticism. Take that Suttree!
