Hmm, no idea I'll have a look when I get home.

The Ottomans now are now working a 5 food tile. They're size 2 now, so that makes it 5+2+2 = 9
Check the graphs, you'll see.
meatbalz Wrote:there are 2 things that make that less likely though
1) if conan were simply headed S/SE, tricky dick would see him now
2) it seemed to me they were a bit taken aback to see our warrior (particularly chatting in-game with pegasus)
the more likely scenario is conan is going on a wide loop around aquilonia and is now headed W/NW. so that means we have to choose whether we delay contact with other civs and send cortes S/SE, or we forfeit info on A4 and keep cortes on a W/NW course.
FYI we only have 5 turns before A4's capital expands. at least 2 of those turns will be spent healing. so unless aquilonia is further N than we think, i don't think we'll make it in time.
I think Conan will be heading SW then W and NW. I would like to risk moving Hernan SE to where we suspect Aquilonia is, without healing to full strength (we should be at 0.8 after taking the promotion.
