Turn 109
I've got two libraries in place and so switched research back on. I'll be able to tech for about seven turns at 65-70 bpt which should get me Med, Poly, Priesthood and Mono eot 115, at which point I can bulb Theo with the prophet I'm making, switch to Vassalage and start on the slog to Monarchy. Another prophet at that point would bulb CoL and (perhaps) found another religion and let me build cheap courthouses, but we'll have to see if I want to run more priests somewhere for that. After Monarchy Feudalism is the next goal...
Question: Does Vassalage reduce unit costs or unit support costs? I was presuming the former, which would mean I get to keep teching as my army grows. If it's the latter then I might think about starting a golden age instead and skipping Poly and Mono on the way to Monarchy and hope to get into HR before the end of the GA.
OT6mn can declare again on t111, they've generally been ending turn after me, so I presume that's how they'll try to run the next war.
If I had an attacking force to use (note - I really don't) then I could choose the second half of the turn timer, but actually that's pretty painful from a PYFT/real life point of view, so I'll suck up the downside.
Gavanth have started putting eps into me again, presumably in anticipation of an attack. They have Calendar and should be getting an engineer from the 'mids soon so they're in a really good position. Eating me should be game unless the Vikings can slow them down somehow.
