Turn 189
In addition to saving specialists until next turn for the Rep boost I also put off a couple of unit builds to gain the XP from Theocracy next turn (wish I'd thought of it last turn
.) We have a bunch of Rifles completing next turn - should the non-urgent ones wait for a queue upgrade to Infantry?
There is bad news on the international front - BGN is 1-turning Communism this turn
and has the cash to carry on through Physics to grab the great scientist too. I don't know if he knew he had to do it this turn to beat dtay (neither have the EPs to have research visibility on the other) but its conceivable that he calculated dtay's tech rate or something. Also there is some odd culture going on over here - I thought cities couldn't exert cultural pressure more than 2 tiles away from their continent, but perhaps that only means they can't put new culture into the tile and that old culture persists?
TBS religions - not much spread as yet but he has access to Confucianism, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism.
Pindicator's stack. I *think* that if Muirthemne is 60% borders then capturing Strand amphibiously and Gate of Storms with commandos would allow us to hit the stack from the SW with one movers unloaded from Strand (I'll worldbuilder it to make sure). Four move Galleons won't do the trick though, so we either need to move our stack through Pindi's waters as though we're about to attack dtay again or build more Galleons in Hazelnut.
So this is the east of the continent.
And this is the west. All the signs are up to date and unless I've been duped we know what is in their main stacks. If we are going for Dreylin it'll take 8 turns to get our Ships of the Line over there. Actually though neither Pindi nor Dreylin have Astronomy or Chemistry so our Frigates will do a fine job and our SotL can keep dtay honest. I want everyone to get out the crayons and draw up some invasion plans!
Krovice aren't going to be happy about this. Is dtay planning an attack, trying to make a corridor to link his two domains together or just sticking two fingers up?
Demos and power
