Turn 204
Thanks for those battles fluffyflyingpig! I guess we'll need to invade dtay to use them all
. I'm tempted just to go with sieges of Gibraltar from 2 through 14 - who knew it was such a popular place!
Ichabod's navy: 2 Frigtes, 3 caravels, 2 galleys. From RockAndTheTree galleons can dump units NW of Ypres, but I expect the galleys to move to BirthOfMusashi and threaten Vittoria Venetto. We'll have enough cats near Ypres to give us odds on a beachhead just in case though.
Civic revolts - the economy under HR, Bur, Caste, FM, OR:
New civics:
Now the economy is pretty similar, but the number of beakers has gone up. Lets see if we can do something about that with the whip. We 1-pop whip Dunkirk for a Cuir, Endor for a Frigate, Issy for a Frigate, Konig for a Cuir, Midway for a Frigate, Nuremburg for a Pike and 2-pop whipped Zanzibar for a Frigate. This is such an evil game...
We'll go 70% on Corporation (ignore the Steel in the screenshots) this turn unless I hear complaints - getting that will be worth between 120 and 150 commerce a turn (unless I'm reading the Foreign Advisor totally wrong) and steel doesn't actually help us right away against Ichabod. The Great Merchant arrives at next turn. I felt like he'd be safer on dry land than on a boat that a privateer could easily sink, so we've tipped our hand to plako. Annoyingly I can't get the interface to tell me how much a trade mission will get us, so you'll have to wait for the turn to roll.
Demos and power - in other foreign affairs Plako is drafting Rifles
and Dtay drafted four muskets last turn, but none this turn...
