Turn 108
When civstats updated this morning we collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Then we spent the day trying to work out if launching a golden age straight away beats building an academy and counter-intuitively decided that it doesn't. Our first GA will therefore start on t123/4 and by the end of it we expect to be in Bureau with Astro in our grasp along with several of Tokugawa's cities...
Hopefully OT's scout won't give him any ideas about gaining an MoM - he's still sending his new Numids south to the GJ battlefield and it'd take about 15 turns to get his city raider axes up here to cause trouble, so I'm not tooo concerned (we will be adding two spears here very soon).
Speaking of trouble, we need to keep an eye on this guy.
Our trade routes with OT finally recover and we're now rolling in commerce!
Here's a victory screen. They're nice every now and then, right? If the average land area is 3% (seems likely given that we're slightly below average and have 2.4%) then that means 66% of the land is settled. That's a lot left over for someone...
Demos and power. The academy pushes our GNP from 5th to 2nd.
