Turn 62
Another barb warrior has turned up. The chariot from the capital can cover those movements and hopefully kill it when it moves onto flatland somewhere. The warrior on the deer has promoted C1, and will heal in City 6 next turn, and T64 will move on the new road towards the north eastern fogbust location. With luck, we will have the entire east locked down by T66. The north is now barb busted completely, so unless there is a barb in the FoW on the furs or the tile south, we are clear to settle city 7 and get furs hooked T67.
Another dead warrior. Scouting questions now irrelevant, either our warrior is dead or it needs to heal.
Posting this screenshot because I was working out our max base bpt on T74 last night (as you do). I chose T74 as an arbitrary snapshot as that is when both furs are hooked and worked. I think we are approaching a total of 65 bpt (including scientists at city 4) with unknown costs (unit costs, unit supply, city maintenance, I can't can't calculate that). However, that means Sailing would be a 2 turn tech so by eot75 we will have Sailing and an unknown amount of gold in the bank (may have sailing earlier, don't know, but that is the position we will be in. Every 5 turns of production into Mids is worth 85 gold, or about 3-4 turns of max tech, so if Mids doesn't fall before eot75, then we would have roughly half the gold needed to get Alphabet, just from Mids. Alphabet is 483 adjusted beakers. If Mids doesn't fall, I'm guestimating it is a 6 turn tech, meaning we will need 150 gold minimum saved to finance it. So latest? T90 Alphabet due to extra costs and settling overseas and paying for scouts. Earliest? T80 due to fail gold from Mids.
Currency is 664 adjusted beakers. More of a slog. Not sure how that works out, depends on need for HBR and Archery.
FWIW, we finish Masonry at 60%, so we are overflowing about 15 base beakers into Writing. Cost 193, we will make an adjusted 49bpt from next turn with enough gold for 3 turns of max science. That puts Writing at about 170-175 beakers eot65, so I think we can complete it eot66. Side effect of this is no point whipping the granary in city 4 until T66 to overflow into the library. Yes it might save us more food, but it actually delays the library. Better off slowing growth and working more hammer tiles.
