IT: Annexed Marrakesh, bought Courthouse, switched production to Circus. Adjusted production tiles in Divinity to finish the Hall this turn as per timmy's advice
T181: Reviewed the road network and realised that we have a fast enough route from Devotion to Onondaga through Roman lands. So bought a Musket in Devotion, and double-promoted to rough terrain (as terrain in Sweden is all rough). Rome asks to renew open borders, I of course agree. Someone steals Steel
T182: Russia denounces us. Rome buys our now spare marble
T183: We finish Forbidden Palace, which along with completed Circus in Marrakesh brings our happy to +10. Cathy however beats us to Globe Theatre. Rome asks to denounce Morocco, I have no problem doing that
T184: Cathy tells us how barbarian we are for denouncing her friends
Then nothing happens
T188: I buy a Lancer in Devotion, this should be the last unit we need to attack Sweden. Not sure about the decisin to wait for enough faith to buy a mounted unit, especially considering we can't buy the best mounted unit currently available in Cavalry (because it's an industrial unit and we don't have Reformation yet). But decided an extra flexibility of a mounted unit was going to be helpful. We already have 2 Muskets on the battlefield, and I wanted 2 mounted units as well. The same turn, a spy steals Acoustics. If you think Civ4 espionage is annoying, try Civ5. We have a level 2 spy doing counter-intelligence in the city, and we get a second steal during my turnset without even identifying the thief! And there's nothing we can do except hoping spy rolls go our way next time
And that's all that happened. Sorry it took me so long to play such a boring turnset, but hopefully the road is paved now for further conquest
Faith is finishing Sistine this turn. I went for the wonder to boost our culture production, maybe not the most useful one, but good to have. Also will give us friendship of Vilnius
Devotion is finishing a Military Academy for extra XP to our future Artilleries. Not sure what to build next. Ragusa wants a Brandenburg Gate, do we have any interest in building that? Devotion is the only city which could benefit from it
Divinity is building Himej Castle, mostly for Kiev's quest, the wonder itself is mildly useful at best
Piety just finished a Whatever Hall (the UB); I set it to Artist Guild as didn't see anything more useful, but feel free to overrule
Marrakesh is on generic useful stuff (Workshop at the moment)
I left the units at Onondaga for timmy to move, as I assume the attack on Sweden is imminent. The final Lancer is on its way, although being slowed down due to Rome inconsiderately using their road for their own units
I started roading from Devotion towards Rome and Russia beyond it, and also building a road between Marrakesh and Onondaga for more flexible manoeuvring
