Perfect score on level 19 with only 14 boxes:

Afraid I have to post something on-topic now

T43 arrived, only visible enemy units are as per this screenshot:




Can't get to my spreadsheet (or anything else google account related) so can't do C&D at the mo But looks like Nicolae's power only went up by 1k so presumably pop.

I've tried to decipher your signs, but I'm not entirely clear on what needs to be done so I think I need to await instruction. This is what I have figured out:

Beachball: switch 3h tile to oasis.

Ice Cream: Whip, then assign single citizen left to work 3h tile.

Sandcastle: Switch one of the 2f/1h tiles to the sheep now IC isn't using it.

Backrush: nothing to do

Axe: move NW

Warrior between Sandcastle & Beachball do nothing?

Brand new Spear in Beachball: fortify?

Workers I'm confused about, this is what I think the signs say, but there's a sign left over.

A: chop in place
B: chop in place
C: Move SE,E ending up on the tile NW of Sandcastle, presumably out of movement points tho sign says to cottage t43

Spare sign: tile NW,N of Sandcastle says "cottage t43-44" and I've run out of workers!

Warrior moves towards Ice Cream.
Only one turn left on the chop, so the other worker can get started on the cottage. Chop first then you can move worker C.

I think we have a warrior outside IC as well, it should keep exploring.

The rest looks good.

Played & sent




Warrior near IC didn't see much new - plains Incense.

Seven got a Classical era tech - putting this down as Mathematics which accounts for all his 6k soldier points and means it was Writing he got on T36.

Nicolae grew his second city from 3 to 4 & this accounts for his 1k soldier points.

Mackoti grew his second city from 3 to 4. He also got a Classical era tech & 8k soldiers. I'm tentatively putting this down as Iron Working and thinking he lost a Quechua to something. Not thinking Mathematics is likely just coz of time taken to get previous techs, it doesn't feel like one of them was big enough to be Writing. I believe he got Pottery on T32, another tech on T34 (along with 2k soldiers) and another on T35. Then nothing till this turn (his T42).

Serdoa got 14 points for land, and grew his capital from 3 to 4 (last turn he must've whipped a size 3 city down to size 2 & grown his capital from 2 to 3). He also gained 9 land tiles. Given the population numbers I don't think this can be a new city, so I figure it must be borders popping on his third city? Perhaps?

Thanks for playing the turn.

Sounds like Seven is running away with the game - will be interesting to see if he becomes everybody's main enemy or if people will prefer punishing aggressive settlements.

No problem

Are you back for the turn if it comes in this evening?

[novice]

I'm back, and I actually already played turn 44.



Two of our cities are unhappy (but will build settler & worker), and I might grow Ice Cream to size 3 and unhappiness on turn 45. So our next settler is probably going to grab the gems, our workers are getting ready to road up there now.

Ahead of the workers are nicolae's warrior, chased by our axe.
