[SPOILERS] Catherine of China

Well there is the OR/Jew Revolt that we have to think about.

Well there is the OR/Jew Revolt that we have to think about.

Not quite sure. Depends e.g. when we can revolt to Hereditary rule and a little bit where it lands (assuming we get it) i.e. do we need the 1 extra happy there and how soon it can start building missonaries.

Here is shot after the adjustments. We need ~30 base beakers next turn that shouldn't cause much problems.

[antisocialmunky]

Hmmm, yeah, we will be in a missionary getting Frenzy and that's going to take quite a few hammers to do. Good thing we have lots of hammers >

Judaism is still available. ~25 beakers would have been enough, but I decided to run 1 turn at breakeven rate. Cya and Np founded. Our economy seems decent. Most of it comes from the specialists and culture though.

Sailing should probably be next tech to open trade routes to others.

It is kinda funny that a city named 'cya' will have perma vision on corinth after a single pop.

Also, is there any way we can use our religious culture to overpower Athen's Ring 3 so we can diagonally 1 move Athens? Bounced some ideas off Cyneheard, Shwedagon Paya came up since its 2x by gold and 8 culture:

-Access to early Theo
-GP points
-Potentially be able to 1 move Athens

[plako]

I like the Shwedagon idea. It requiers Aesthetics and Meditation. We might want to raise a bit their priority.

Then to T77. Did we get Judaism:



No none of these, but lets take a look at east and there it is. We got it and pretty much the best place we could hope for. It is in the frontlines, but helps a lot in the culture fight.



I dialed in Sailing and I decided to copy a PB2 that Spulla did use i.e. I'll avoid running binary research a bit to hide our 100% slider potential. I'll use it, if we manage totally ruin our economy .

Mackoti has declared war on Luddite and double move is definately the issue. It seems to me that Ioan's movement previous turn might have been done too late. Since I doubt he did anything in the beginning of the turn.

We've our own minor Drama also. Locke is either pretty sensitive or is just trying to find a excuse to cool down relationship to #1:

Locke:

Do you want to sign OB? We should have path defogged to you soon for trade route. I will propose in game.

Nakor has one warrior one axe in most cities we have seen. He just finish granaries in two cities. Does not seem to be building military right now.

Locke

We:

OB ok. Maybe added with no right of passage clausule. If someone needs to get through, we can negotiate separately.

Them:

You not even going to let us move units through territory? After we give you all our info on Nakor???

I guess it is up to you but I thought we are better friends than that

We (no response yet):

I've this deal with everyone. If you need to get through, we can discuss.

[plako]

In the tech thread I refer naturally to religion founding location. I would really like to keep the current one.

[antisocialmunky]

Talk about being better to be lucky than good.

Also [Out Capitol] @ Locke being a silly boy, one does not simply let people walk through the #1 dogpile target's territory.

PS: Do you want to try for Shwedagon quickly? +2 Exp would be nice to have in time for either the Nakor or WarriorKnight NAP end.

I would, but Meditation and Aesthetics are not high on my priority list .
