Turn 106
Last night Hykephalos killed the barb axe.
Today first we continue negotiation with Plako, I sucked badly at this in the demogame, so lets see how it goes here. We don't want incense, so I declined.
We do want money though. If 7 of his 9 cities are coastal this 4 gpt deal would actually favour us, if 8 are it's even. I think we should probably have accepted the 3gpt deal, but let's hope he goes for this.
Also sent this in a very vague hope of something or other...
We have a bit of C&D catching up to do. Last turn dtay got a 35 point increase, which could be the Statue of Zeus, a classical tech (perhaps alphabet) and four pop growths in his 11 cities. I think I'm starting to worry about him... Suttree also got a classical tech this turn, I think he only had Maths before so the options are Aesthetics, Alphabet, Calendar, Code of Laws, Construction, Currency, Horseback Riding, Iron Working, Metal Casting or Monarchy. Global soldiers went up by 33 000, so it could be any of the above. Most likely Currency, Construction or Horseback Riding though. We'll know for sure when the graphs update (in one or two turns?)
Cannae can work a 2/0/2 cottage this turn, then the 3/0/0 sugar for two turns to grow a turn earlier and work sugar and cottage together. That's 3 food vs 2 commerce, but because we're near the happy cap now food isn't so important and we'd probably better to stick to the cottage.
Dunkirk grows again this turn and can work the copper next turn, so the chariot should be ready quickly. If Suttree completed HBR a spear might be more useful, or possibly a spy (40 hammers) so we can track where his stack went?
The temptation to move Flugauto to the tile suggested is strong, but I think his invisibility is his biggest asset right now, so I'd rather send him back SW.
I've no idea where that barb axe went... Also wouldn't this desert make a nice border with Ichy?
I moved our new axe (remember how I said if you hid any other goodies in our territorry you get more units BRick? Well that's two silvers worth - what else have you got?) to the cow, I left the warrior there too, for flexibility. Mattimeo the bowman could head for Hastings, but I think he's needed for city L.

I haven't ended turn because of the build in dunkirk, the movement of Mattimeo and the movement of Flugauto. Any thoughts?
