[SPOILERS]Zara Yaqob of Byzantium and the Melancholies of Gawdzak and BaII

[Gawdzak]

Judaism founded. This is turn 70 so it's hard to track who got a tech, so no idea who got it.

We will found our 6th city next turn.

[BaII]

Sorry for the lack of feedback recently, I was traveling. Buidling the mids would cost around 333 hammers with stone which is pretty much 3 settlers and 1 worker. It will put us behind on expansion in terms of expansion. But if one of our competitors are not heading towards it. Well it might be worthwhile just because we have cheap lib's to run scientists on.

[Gawdzak]

Settle our 6th city,Nagisa. Except what is Gavagai's worker doing there?




He just did three 2-pop whips this turn, I think he might be rushing us.

[Commodore]

Standard Tactical Doctrine calls for strangling Byzantium in the cradle, I believe...

*please note, I have no idea whatsoever what Gavagai is doing

[BaII]

So I'm guessing two 2 pop whips to get 3 axes and 1 spear. Or do you think we're currently safe enough?

[Gawdzak]

Well we are number 1 in power at the moment, we will see if this changes next turn. Unless I see something concrete suggesting he's rushing us, I'd rather not panic just yet. Sure he's whipping stuff, but my hope is that he is whipping workers and settlers. Which is what I would do, but I'm aware that Gavagai often have different priorities.

[Gawdzak]

Well I don't think he's rushing us, his power was only slightly behind ours last turn and this turn we are still first in power.




Also to note is that some idiot is giving away 16 commerce worth of tradetroutes without getting anything back in return.

[Gawdzak]

Another turn!




Gavagai. Well that's annoying. I'm not sure I can build the pyramids anymore. This would be a border city on flatland.




Alright next expansion: whip a settler out of Yuno and settle the marked tile.

[Gawdzak]

Math is in. Currency next!

I killed a barb axe with my exploring chariot and got far more than I bargained for:




That, my friends, is Zanth/Bacchus. I will make contact next turn.

Discovered Fur to the north. I wonder how I would dotmap this area.

[Commodore]

Nice moai spot.
