[spoilers] FT's attempt at social distancing

This is all pretty traumatizing and thinking about this game makes me feel ill, but let's close some circles. This is our bet from turn 44:

Miguelito has expanded in a pretty ambitious way and not only grabbed 3 food resources, but 2x gold in his BFC. Cairo just founded his 3rd city probably in the gem area as he was roading that way. So this means that based on our limited vision Commodore is out of attractive city sites to his south..  mischief

On top of everything, Migu's city sits on flat ground so here were the estimations in our chat, when that city gets captured or burnt:
  • OH T65
  • Hitru T70
  • FT T74

After having stared more at the picture I think OH might be onto something or even too conservative. That city is just too good to be left standing.. Or at least I hope so as it has more foodhammers from resources than our cities 2-4 combined..

And this happened last turn:




Not 100 % sure, but this should be "the pink dot". Our bet was not about being the closest, but hitting the exact turn, so nobody won. But I guess we were on to something.  mischief

Macro overview:
  • Significant setback for Migu's builder plans. He is downgraded to middling civs
  • Commodore's start was slow, so I don't think this is yet enough, but he still has an army so he has an ability to keep climbing. Maybe contender
  • Cornflakes: As said, this is his game to lose now. Should have developed faster, but is still doing good enough that he can enjoy his excellent macro position. Should look very strong in 20 turns and is thus the favorite
  • Ruff: Very nice macro position, but somehow still waiting for his snowball to launch. Contender
  • Cairo: No accidents to my knowledge, but proceeding slowly. If he can make something happen with Commo-Migu conflict, he can become a contender
  • Ras, SD & Elkad: Essentially out of the running
  • Us: This was a won game until it wasn't. Let's see how grim the situation gets and whether we can be contenders or fall into the same category with Miguelito.
Finished:
PBEM 45G, PB 13, PB 18, PB 38 & PB 49

Top 3 favorite turns: 
#1, #2, #3
