Turn 78
It's kinda funny that our terrible combat luck haunts GJ instead of us (losing Elite only cost us a settler, two axes, several turns that BG couldn't work it's wheat and a bunch of worker turns chopping into the walls and units). This morning OT used the promotions earned against us to burn Living Mountain - GJ's fourth city, settled nearly 30 turns ago, which was size 4, but got 2-whipped when GJ realised what was happening... OT gets the first great general of the game, so he must have won some fights!
We were a bit worried that Rusten had completed Colossus before we had a chance to get some hammers in for failgold, but he must have taken Aesthetics instead of Metal Casting and he grabbed SoZ - very nice from him, he should be a lock for the great library too if he wants it...
I still don't really understand how war weariness works - I think that GJ suffered 19 and OT suffered 2, but it might be the other way around. We can find out how much of OT's stack survived next turn or we can explore deeper into GJ's territory.
Our spy gets a view of Hippo. Nothing to worry about here. There's some loose talk of attacking but we'd lose 3-5 Immortals to take the city, so I'm not convinced it's a good opportunity just yet.
If we were CRE then settling on the hill would be the best move, as it is I think we're going for the forest. We'll fit another city in to the south though, so that'll be nice!
And it's always nice to see neighbours failing to get along! (They're back at war again.
)
An overview of the OT border for planning purposes.
Demos and power.
