Turn 261
Elensfar is 9 turns from legendary.
One of our spies got captured, but we have four that have a turn's stationary bonus, so lets start with that Confucian Academy:
Spy 1 fails
Spy 2 succeeds!
Next is the Hindu Mandir:
Spy 3 succeeds!
Next we could sabotage the two temples and something else or we could take out one more Cathedral. We're not going to have the EPs to sabotage another next turn, but we will the turn after. I think we need to do as much as possible to delay things right now, so I went for the Christian Cathedral:
Spy 4 succeeds! (but is captured)
We're down to 89 EPs against TBS now, so no "after" picture of the city, if we can knock out the remaining two cathedrals in two turns my estimate of his new end date is t273, so we're going to need to knock out some other buildings too. We have six spies left in the city with another three arriving next turn.
dtay's conquest of Terry came after he failed to make an impression on Domino. That makes me think that a couple of infantry in Rocky should see the city safe... If he takes Bimble out that will only cost us six beakers, so I won't reinforce that city. He did grab Military Science this turn though, so I've reinforced our more commando-accessible cities.
We need to make 10555 base beakers this turn to get Ecology. I want to make sure we have breathing room, in case of city razes and sky pillaging. I've adjusted every city to be max science with Rep scientists replacing every tile except towns, precious metals and factory+power workshops and mines, which means that Butterscotch, Englbert, Kirby, Lucky, Marmalade, Ophelia, Pickle, Rocky, Snowdrop, Twinkle, Upland Cress, Veggies, Domino, Endive, Fennel, Grass, Herbs, Juniper, Kipple, Orinoco, Quincy, Ursula, Bimble, Chives, Dock Leaves, Flowers, Jelly, Mustard, Quince, Radish, Samphire, Turnip and Yarrow will all starve down a size. THH says that's okay - we're the Aztecs! Anyway the upshot is there are ~2000 beakers extra for this turn and we can complete Ecology at 70% with something to spare. I went for 80% just to be sure though.
That leaves our last two builds in Watercress and Zucchini. The sabotage in Zucchini turns the 3 turn build into a five turn build. If BGN sabotages again then it could be even slower. He'll get Composites this turn, then I'd guess that he'll get Medicine eot262, Genetics eot264 and Ecology eot265 or 6. Even if he can swing a one turn build we should beat that.
Finally, anyone notice anything odd here?
Victory screen.
