[SPOILERS] Dhalphir PB13

I will put some pictures up next turn. After that it will probably go quiet around here again for a while, as I'm focusing most of my civ reporting enthusiasm on PBEM53.

Okay, here we go, some pictures to illustrate yesterday's post.

My empire, starting with the south. Shakuras has mostly recovered from war damage, and Aiur is humming along nicely. Still room for another city down here near the wheat, but that's later on.



The central empire. Yeah, the capital shows up in two pictures, sue me. This is where the fighting was about 20 turns ago, you can still see the ruins of Zerus to the east. That set me back a long way - not because of the lost city, because it was junk, but because of the lost settler that could have gone to a better spot and left me with a more defensible front line.



The north. This is where most of the action has been happening lately. My military is extending up into the jungle to secure the front, and I am about to expand to the pigs location.



The far north jungle. This is the expansion zone in the future. Bacchus likely believes this to be mostly his territory, so it wouldn't be out of the question that I will have to war him for this. Bacchus sniped a chariot of mine this turn that was trying to get past his territory to meet other civs - the immediate ten turn peace that was declared gives me easy room to settle two cities here and get units in place without him being able to do anything about it. I don't believe he has any spotters in the jungle at the moment, so he may not even notice me doing it.



Demographics



Power rating with me and nearby neighbours.



So, in summary, we are not doing too badly. I think we are doing better than Bacchus, but that will depend on how much of the jungle each of us gets. I have plenty of workers to clear that out, it should only take ~10 turns to get two cities fully up and running there.

My plan to catch up in tech is to research Meditation, Polytheism, and Priesthood, which should take 6 turns once i build up enough gold to burn at 100% research. After that, my great prophet from Stonehenge should be able to lightbulb Civil Service, as I don't have Masonry. With no marble or stone, I also have no real need to research Masonry yet. That will give me a nice important tech, to irrigate some of my isolated food bonuses and enable bureaucracy.

Wow, that's an interesting catch, I never realized that without Masonry bulbing CS with GP is possible.

I picked it up from one of Sullla's succession game reports. Only noticed that it was applicable to my game today.

You definitely can't do that:

Great Person Tech Preferences-

Meditation
Polytheism
Priesthood
Monotheism
Theology
Divine Right
Mysticism
Masonry (Warlords patch & BTS)
Code of Laws
Civil Service
Monarchy
Literature
Music
Writing
Philosophy
Printing Press

Aesthetics (BTS)
Alphabet
Paper
Education
Liberalism
Calendar
Masonry (Vanilla & unpatched Warlords)
Animal Husbandry
Construction
Future Tech

Unless you don't have writing or mining, you won't be able to bulb CS

Oh, I see. It was before BTS. In BTS they changed some bulbpaths which were too strong.

That would have been nicely done by u though. BTW in the reports look at the screenshots and see if they show the beaker output in the top right. It only happens in BTS.

Ahh, bugger. Well, at least I'm at 0% science still and haven't invested anything. That's the big advantage of binary science, I realise now.
