Espionage
At present it'll cost 2152 EPs to steal Philosophy (1380 beakers) from dtay. With a 50% discount that's 1076 which is about 30 turns worth of EPs. Could be worth it, but I doubt we'll wait 30 turns for Philosophy...
Pindicator gives a better rate of return - Theocracy is 1258 EPs (629 discounted) for an 862 beaker tech. He only has that tech though. BGN has Drama, Music, Philosophy and Nationalism, any of which would be nice to have, but we haven't uncovered any of his cities so I'm not sure how much things would cost from him. Presumably more than dtay since we're further from his capital. The problem with being one of the tech leaders is that no-one has a good selection for us to steal from
.
Ceil - poisoning water supplies would cost about the same as stealing a tech, while formenting unhappiness is a tenth the price! Bargain!
The rest of the world
I thought it was about time to do another world map, as I think I now know where everyone is. Click here for the full 3Mb image, this is a thumbnail. (Is there a better way of incorporating large images?)
We haven't met Zanth, Nakor, Q or Caledorn yet but we know Zanth is at war with Mardoc and Cal is at war with Ruff while Q was at war with Ruff. Presumably that leaves Nakor between Agent434 and HAK, but that's not for sure. I think HAK killed Jowy, TBS killed Furungy, Pindicator killed Barry Lyndon and Krovice and Dtay killed Whosit. I've drawn in a channel between BGN and Agent724's islands, there will probably be one between Xenu and Ruff too, but I'm not sure where just yet.
