That's okay, Old Harry; we knew it would get too hard to track eventually. So this means we don't need the demos screenshots every turn?

[Old Harry]

Yep, more pictures of fights instead please!

[TheHumanHydra]

No fights right now. I'll post some more pictures as soon as I have some free time at home. Pbem 46 is taking up a lot of that ...

Here's an update with all of my cities after I ended turn:


As you can see here, I'm getting the Great Person next turn. We're all crossing our fingers that it'll be a Great Scientist.











I'll have 3 more Archers next turn, and should have a couple more the turn after.
I'll probably keep going 0% research until the Library in Asylum completes. Then I might be able to go 2 turns at 100%, hopefully. And with the Library there, it'll give added benefit.
Happy Birthday was founded just last turn and gifted to me by THH, and I got a couple workers starting that farm right now. And then the Copper mine will be right after that.


Next turn, the northern city will founded. I just moved two workers onto forests, who will be able to start chopping out a Work Boat, Granary and then Lighthouse. I think those are the best first builds for that city.
I've had PokeyPokey & Pluto fortified up on the hill on WK's border since last turn. They're keeping an eye on things to make sure they don't have any military coming south that might interfere with my new city. All has been clear.
Also sent a spear NW to do a quick exploration to see if they have settled southward at all. I'll probably turn him back around shortly. Maybe send him 1N first to get visibility in whatever city they have there for the copper they seem to have just mined, and then head home after that.

Ok, time for a couple screenshots. These should give a good overview of what's happening with both units and cities.







This was a rare turn of 100% research for me. My workers are moving to cottage around Juno Beach, since it's forced to work crap tiles right now. Their current activities were just to save worker-turns en-route.

As HAK mentioned, I settled and gifted Birthday Present to him last turn, and also gifted him another settler. I also have a chariot headed his way, with another building. He's been gifting me workers and archers.

As you can see, I'm mostly building libraries right now, save in cities which already have them or are building more essential infrastructure. Other than that, just growing, and growing cottages.

The front with LAM is relatively quiet. Their units were in the same positions last turn. They might mean to settle our northwestern copper spot; I'm not sure.

Looking a lot better tile wise, guys!
At Asylum we should cottage that Riverside grassland and work that instead of the plainscottage.
And there are more Riverside tiles to cottage!
But we seem to have averted the initial threath and can focus on growth now.

Is the scientist going to academy vr?

Once you have currency are you going to permanent 0% science HAK? Or is break-even going to allow you to research too?

Yes, if we get a scientist it is going to academy VR. What should we do if we are unlucky and get a Prophet instead? I'm guessing we would eventually bulb something with him if that's what we end up getting.

I won't know what we can do with regards to gold & research until after we get Currency. There's just too many variables with regards to the additional trade routes, and what my tiles & cities will be like by the time we get it. So we'll have to do those calculations to decide which gets us the best research output when the time comes.

How much would a shrine get? Might be worth it for the increased chance to spread religion? Otherwise settling in vr should get a bunch of cash too...
