Turn 72
Slightly unfortunate turn of events this turn, but they weren't unexpected.
Next turn chariot heads 39 and scout 21 then they join up. But the following picture is what makes me slightly more apprehensive:
Barb axes have started appearing. I deleted this warrior to save 1g in supply costs. I'm ambivalent about this: if I had let the warrior heal another turn, it would likely have been able to retreat...but it may have just run into another axe, so meh. We know barb axes turn up at some point.
Change to micro. Settler T72-75, chop granary and work mine T76 to finish it with 19/28 food in the box, T77 overflow into settler, T78 whip the settler, T79 avoid growth (will lose small amount of food here, but better than growing to size 5 and emptying the food box) and eot80 regrow size 3 with 19 food in the box. Then option to double whip library is available if we decide we need to focus more on beakers to get to Alphabet or to carry on with ad hoc production needs.
Picture because it is pretty.
Picture because it is not pretty.
