Part 3
43 gold, that is how much wealth builds are contributing at this point.
There are 3 more settlers in production, and we have space for a further 7 cities and 3 fillers. Courthouses will need to come, but I still feel that CoL comes after HBR. Unit cost is impossible to manage except through vertical growth: some of us will be limited on that (not superjm or Gavagai whom both seem to have multiple happy resources already hooked). Max bpt though is around 160 without research builds, but if we put everything onto wealth we would only make 70gpt so we can't run 100% slider without saving gold.
Called it. Gav and all his happy resources give him the pop lead. He still has fewer cities so we aren't in an impossible position, but not much is going to improve it except trading for happy resources. No one has spares.
F5. That is one miserable military. But this is worse:
I'm not seeing an attack here. I'm just seeing his scouting as, well, scouting. OH knows the entire map of our land, but doesn't know what we've done with it.
The rest of the demographics are below, the only thing of note is that OH has hit his happy vertical and horizontal cost limit as we have.
So 2 chariots lost, one at 99.4% against a warrior, on at 80% against a warrior in a city. 3 warriors lost, one at 50% which is fair enough (attacking out to defend a sheep pasture at LBJ), a 90% on defence against a warrior and a 90% on defence against a lion. And we're killed 18 warriors...? I would not have thought it was that many. I did delete one rather than let it die to an axe.
*Grumble*
This looks to be a pretty good position, but without happiness resources, it's going to be very easy to cap out again. So exploration needs to be pushed, to check the islands to the SE don't have some resources we want, same for the islands to the west. So even though I've written this entire report, I'm going to go back and figure out where I can get galleys and chariots out to scout with.
