Turn 63

So I loaded up the lurker civ this turn to find... an event! A crazy good one too, which I'd never seen before. Here were all the options:

After some thought I took the Great Military Instructor. We're never going to use the excess gold anyway, and we'd just have to disband the two Pikemen. Would have been an insane event for someone else to get though. (How can you even get two Pikemen before you have BRONZE WORKING, let alone any metal? How much would that tilt the battlefield in other situations?)

Not much I could see happening in the rest of the world just now. I'll leave you with this standoff between HAK and Jowy, which I presume has been a stalemate for a while now... though it seems Jowy's slowly on the way out without Copper.

Well, the event requires a castle. So unless someone was Worldbuildering in a ton of EP buildings, the only way to get it would be to either have Engineering or capture a castle. wink

Very cool event, though!

Ah, well that would explain it. I don't think I've built a castle in a game in memory.

Hmm, so how come the lurker civ started with Engineering but not Satellites?

Satellites might affect the gameplay. It defogs all tiles, which someone said affects barb spawning.

The lurker civ should be careful to keep the Great Spies only in defogged areas, ideally shadowing other civs' units.
