Turn 156
I'm expecting to be greeted with a peace offer, and Mackoti doesn't let us down. I panned around a bit and it doesn't look like he's done anything annoying, so I'll say yes. And we get a reward! (I learn later that I could have killed a galley, but I guess this will do.) What's really scary is that he's saving 600 gold per turn. We can get just over 200 per turn.
I don't think Dhal is going to stand up to this invasion. I guess plako will take what he wants and then offer peace (although he might just take the whole lot).
On Ichabod's border our trade mission to Stray Geese is two turns from fruition, although a small spanner has crept into the works. Ichabod whipped the city in the last five turns, so the trade mission is only worth 1300 gold.
if it doesn't grow back to size 8 we could check if growing Agincourt will help or send it to Spring Breeze instead for the full 1500. It wouldn't be secret then however, and Ichabod might demand money for it... (I know that's been done in other games). Sigh. I can 1-pop whip the settler in France next turn and Rorke's Drift will be settled t159.
On domestic matters I've adjusted Agincourt to grow in four turns (in case that helps the trade mission), whipped a Knight in Dunkirk and the Market in Light Brigade (to overflow into a university). We can whip the knight in Hastings next turn and I'm debating whipping Endor (probably not a good idea as its so food-poor). Issy's Knight could be whipped the turn after that.
If you want to keep track of what techs our main opponents are up/down on us have a look here. The news for this turn is that Mackoti got Printing Press, so only needs Gunpowder and Replaceable Parts before he gets to Rifling. While Suttree got Feudalism recently, so we may face longbows if we attack him.
Demos and power. (Hey look at that! Why did we sign peace?)
