Turn 105
Oh, god this game.
So I loaded the scout from LBJ and moved forward. I can't unload it now. Given I haven't won a single battle against barbs at below 90% odds (except maybe one with a scout versus a barb animal?) I am waving goodbye to this galley.
OH declared on OT4E, I reckon a scouting declaration as OT4E will have denied OB due to trade routes. There are also no hidden units behind Free At Last.
That axe is being a little bitch and won't move forward. Going to attack it on T107, I reckon, and I will move the archer to be backup to the chariot, using the spear to keep the city happy.
I have 45 pop, so it is not a joke when I say Gav has about 20 extra pop. The larges city is size 8 though, so I am unsure if he just has lots of pre-calendar happy, or if he has managed to get to Calendar and is growing on that.
That 20 extra pop is generating 43 extra food, so it looks like Gav has pop working food neutral tiles, rather than growing faster; the excess food total is roughly similar between us. I do wonder about getting a trade route to him, to see what resources he has, but I reckon he is between Cairo and OT4E on the map due to how players have certain contacts, so I'm sending the eastern workboat right to that patch between those two players.
