Turn 100
Situation in the east became a bit interesting:
Is that a settling party? Is CH trying to raze Hazelnut? Is that a scouting galley? I considered moving our own galley to protect our crabs but in the end decided against it and was more trusting. CH has a conflict with Whosit and he must understand that he benefits a lot from our trade routes. Our own galley is technically also in a threatening position (CH's worker) and I decided to send this:
This serves a dual purpose. First of all, it is supposed to be a sign of friendship. Second, if CH accepts it will hide our horse resource from our trading screen. So if Azza has not checked our trading screen during the last two or three turns he might think that we don't have horses connected and does not build more spears for his border cities...
In order to celebrate the round turn 100, we took once again the food lead:
If we turn tech on we make 275 beakers and also grab the GNP lead (despite having only 20 % pre-req bonus to CoL). Rival best in land area is quite impressive. I counted quickly and after we have settled all our tundra and run out of peaceful expansion room we should have ~200 land tiles. Well above the average, but still nowhere close to having enough if we want to be competitive long term (and as said, decent chunk of that is low-quality tundra).
I thought a bit more about our tech path and the immediate future could look like this:
- CoL EOT 102
- HBR EOT 104/5
- CS EOT 112/3
We launch our GA on ~T113, revolt into Bureaucracy and Caste, birth a second GS for an academy, back fill religious techs for HR & OR, grab MC+Construction and head to Guilds. Something like that?
Global events:
- Pyramids fell EOT99, retep was once again quite close!
Based on score I think it was Krill + Novice (not 100 % sure though).
- Great Wall already fell couple of turns ago (did not bothered with score analysis, sorry! But it was nobody we have met)
- It seems pindicator is playing quite aggressive, he razed a city from dtay!
We should get pindicator's graphs next turn (or in 2 turns). That's a power graph that I'm interested in seeing..
- Another score leader, BGN razed a city from wetbandit.
