T159 Part 2:
Not too much for me left to do, and I didn't have access to my more recent sandbox (nothing too specific, just updated the map some and city sizes one day last week or so while I was bored) so I went ahead and played. I left the scout in Oxy's land on the hill where it could keep an eye on his stack. It looks like some stuff is moving north. I'm not sure what he would have to gain by attacking us, so we'll just have to see what he's up to.
I just don't see him coming for us. No idea what's going on here. I'm still hopeful that he'll fight suttree some more.
I swapped Mister Love and Happy Face over to missionaries. We need the grocer in ML, but we need to spread the faith even more. Two turns for the missionary from ML, and three from HF. We'll need another from ML, then hopefully we can swap over to the grocer build. Or, just weapons to oppress our foes.
No scientist!
No scientist! You know, just in case. I kept the phract build for now.
I swapped Swamp People to a cataphract. The market would complete in 3t, but this is a low commerce city and going to get whipped into the ground soon anyway. I Burn is on a library and needs 4t. I don't see that as tremendously useful since, again, we're about to whip hard. We need religion here. This is a good food city, and we can get some units out here. Probably not cataphracts, though. We just don't have time to get the stable/barracks. So, I went for a LB. It also has 2h into a mace. A missionary from We Steal should go here, but that will need OR. Kinda stumped at the moment how to do that because we don't want to waste time on a monastery in We Steal. While on the subject of WS:
Just boats here once we swap to Police State. Nothing more profound to say. Do you think a monastery is worth it? We'll always work the coast tiles, so there's a not totally insignificant amount of commerce for the 10% beaker bonus, plus the 2 free hammers. I'm stuck. I guess if we don't have another option to build missionaries, we can do that here.
Suttree is saving up some cash. Is he bulbing to Liberalism already? He's still in a golden age.
We're fifth in power, retep is weaker than us.
Pedestrian.
