Persia is in the middle of interesting times at the moment. It feels like we have 1000 priorities that we are somehow trying to balance.
Our Astro-beeline is so far paying off. After probably settling 2 new cities this turn we are only 1 city behind TBS and even with mackoti. Of course city count is only one indicator and we are behind in population, city improvements etc, but it feels like we are getting closer and closer to relevancy.
In the process we are dumpstering our economy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Our cities are starting to hit their no. of cities maintenance cap so new cities are getting cheaper and cheaper. In addition we need only 2 more turns and we can launch or 2nd MoM-powered Golden Age that hopefully kicks off some kind of a snowball for us.
Our military is only #10 in the world, but as you know, we are still waging opportunistic wars. Goodwill from Elkad is now gone, but he is down to only 8 cities, which does not yet equal irrelevancy, but should be manageable. We have a long border at our mainland with Toku and Astro expansion stretches us further, let's see if our card-house stays intact for the next 20 turns. If we are given that amount of time, I think we should be able to convert our position into a decent military force.. And I would be surprised if there aren't any opportunities available at that point..
