Turn 157
We get Engineering and Pindicator completes Notre Dame before we can get a single hammer into the damn thing.
In Australia TBS shows up near our territory on the west coast and settles on the north coast. There's a pretty large chunk of land still fogged up north. My guess is it looks something like this.
So if we're racing we can choose not to settle the rice/iron/copper city straight away and instead push north, but rice/iron/copper could push out a 5-6 turn settler itself, so I'm torn. Red shows possible movements for existing settlers, purple for W2 mace and axe, orange for the settler that will make landfall next turn. Annoyingly a barb warrior stops us building a road that would speed that settler. The crossbow in Dark Souls got badly hurt defending against an axe last turn so it only gets 80% attacking the warrior, which isn't worth the risk. Next turn we're settling 1N of the sugar for a bit more visibility.
We can fit 9 more cities on Australia if we get the X and something in the fog to the north, we've got 3 settlers in transit and another 3 ready eot. Hopefully we can claim more than 9...
In the end we settle Faster Than Light for rice/iron/copper and it'll chop a settler to keep the expansion rolling. It's working a citizen to get the settler a turn quicker.
Mack has paper and it looks like he'll push on for Liberalism unopposed. Which means he could claim Steel or Scientific Method... We figure that he's only Gunpowder, Music and Paper ahead of us, but he's got a lot of cash, so won't take long to get Education and Lib too. 
On the Toku-Elkad war front Elkad threw his army away.
It looks like he moved into the fort SW of Pusan and crashed everything against the walls of the city, then Toku mopped up with minimal losses. Toku should roll over him fairly easily now, so we might try to snipe another city or two before he can. But when he's finished we need to be very wary - possibly even before that - our peace runs out in 3 turns and he whipped 9 times this turn.
City counts:
- TBS 38
- Mack 35
- Us 33
- Dtay 25
- Com 25
- Pindi 22
- Xenu 22
- Gav/BGN 21
- Donovan 20
Everyone else has 15 or fewer, unfortunately a lot of ours are still on basic infrastructure builds so they aren't contributing a lot just yet.
Demos and power.
