By the way, Krill? If those islands wrap around and my rivals start fighting over them you're forgiven. They're at least extensive enough to relieve everyone else's pressure.

Well, bless his optimistic lill' heart, Logical Tautology is still laying siege to the Halls of Kull, adding...an extra archer? Okay, bub, whatever. The longbow in Kull made it to 20/50, so I whipped it in...and with the city thus safe, I took a potshot with my awesome C2/Shock axe against his own C1 axe on flatland (80%). Killed without issue; spawned a great general. Thanks!
Oh yeah, baby. Imperialistic and within my own borders?
Overflow from a two-pop whipped missionary plus a painful out-of-culture chop added another 55 adjusted hammers to the MoM pile. Cairn of Odin will actually be an excellent hammer city before long, with workshops post-Guilds, but right now...this kind of sucks. Another ten turns of whipping and high-effort growing will finish this, but that means I actually just expect this is a somewhat convoluted method of funding the aforementioned Guilds research.
No sign of marble anywhere on the map, so Heroic and National Epics will be painful.
But hey, I did at least manage to avoid failgold in one wonder place...here's the slightly small Moai city now up and running. Lacking stone this was also a bit painful but all that is done now, so Antillia can just grow on 2/1/2 coasts and look all starry-eyed towards the day when she's hammering out a great navy. Or, you know, lots of wealth builds.
Proud of the second B.C. moai in a row, but this still doesn't scrub the shame of no moai ever in my Dutch game.

Well that was an annoying little mini-hiatus...apparently Gmail decided I was a spammer to LT, so we lost two days to the disjointed time there. In game, the siege continues ineffectually. I could break it expensively now, or cheaply in half a dozen turns with chucklenaughts. Not really worried about it given the longbows I've gotten all over. When Machinery does come it'll be joined with a mass-empire whipping as archers conveniently auto-upgrade to crossbows. Most civilizations would rather longbows, but China? Aw yiss.
Beyond Borders is in the most lackadaisical forge-to-Colossus run ever.

So the eagle-eyed among you all might have noticed the world's national religion count doubled last turn; both Yuri and Flugauto went into golden ages. The fact that neither of the Org Bros, who both do have courthouses (goodbye, graphs), went into their revolts without including Caste System is kind of interesting to me, but what's even more interesting is that Yuri is already all the way up to Civil Service. Nicely done!  So that means we're actually probably not too far from seeing Samurai pop up, which is also cool.
Wither your GPs, Wetbandit? For srs, Phi guy...

Never had stone, had to swap into Theocracy and out of OR early...just never really happened. I'm not actually embarrassed by that one. Now my capital's clams...

 Yes. There comes a point in every man's life when he has to look deep into the mirror, grip the counter, and admit it.
