T145.
Ruh roh.  A longbow, archer, and axeman on defense will not hold off 40 quintillion maces, methinks, and a single galley can't bring too much to reinforce before Haram's caravels catch up with it.
By the way, does anyone know how OR+slavery works on the turn you switch out of it? If I start a turn in OR, whip something for 1 pop, then switch to Free Religion, do I still get the extra hammers from the whip?

Let me see if I can rehost them. And regarding Dreylin, no idea, Haram still hasn't given me OB, so I'm not sure what's going on over there. I have a galleon I could look onto Dreylin's mainland with, but I wouldn't want to spook him. The dips in their power graphs don't look too bad though, but graphs can be delayed up to 2 turns, so that might just be Dreylin's attack on T142 without Haram's answer, on his side of the turnsplit, on T143.

Hmmm, no lurker bites, eh? Hmmm. Well. How about some good ole fashioned despair then.
T144-T145. Logged in at the end of turn to pause for Tsargon, and there's an offer from Haram: 40g for open borders. "Haha, ok, fair enough, you got me!" I click accept, and then remember that I was actually building a small amount of wealth to hit Printing Press by end of turn.  Well, a little more wealth, and its ok. Then I check the demos again, to see how I'm flying now. 1800, nice. But - 2nd place?!? Haram is at over TWO THOUSAND GNP!!!! What the hell?!???? The Civilopedia confirmed my worst fear: Haram somehow already finished his Oxford University!!!!!!! Jesus that is fast. 12 turns to build 7 universities and then Oxford, that is seriously goddamn crazy. That city isn't super hammer-rich either, and he was out of Bureau for a bunch of turns - he must have freaking built up overflow chains in several of his 7 university cities, including a huge one in his capital, while building enough wealth to contest me for Lib?? Wow, goddamn. My T133 estimation of Haram of "at the verge of being a runaway" was way off, he already was back then! Haram was at 2000+ GNP for both T144 and T145, research Aesthetics and Literature, respectively, so we're looking at either T148 Astro or T147 Chemistry. Shit! Also, more fun:  Cripes. And they still haven't peaced. RIP Dreylin, you gonna get clobberated. We have 6 more turns of peace treaty remaining, and Rifling is exactly 7 turns away with just a few hundred hammers of total wealth building. Welp. If we can get the first half of the timer, then we just need to hold out for 1 turn... Haram's already built roads all up and down the Chinook border, has filled up the jungle near Memphis Slim with workers, and is pushing my culture back in both places...  We're gonna need to start another whipping frenzy, but this time with muskets instead of monasteries. We should try to target 40 rifles in 10T at minimum; half of that just to protect ourselves from Haram in the short-term, the other half to invade somebody else. Maybe something like 10 Galleons? There's no way to queue upgrade Frigates if you already have Chemistry, is there? Is it possible to upgrade Caravels into Frigates with money? Can't remember.
