Gavagai is haunted by demons and Zanth

Moloch finished the Parthenon. 1turn before us

With 480 failed gold the main question is whether we are to start GA right now, or wait a few (1-2) turns. Tech plans are finish drama, CoL, Phil, Music, CS, Nationalism. This could be done in one extended GA. But maybe HR and constructions should be researched before Nationalism.

Mistoltin started GA (4th one after OH, Wannabe and us).
And 2metra wars well against Tim: 25 cities vs 3.. (we have 13 atm), though horse was sent to Tim..
Things could be quite bad.. So maybe we should research machinery and make some maces...

[Gavagai]

Tim... Why are you so dim?

[zanth]

ahhhh
2metra and ot4e are sitting for 4.5 fucking hours at game right after OH declared on them. We can just hope that there is a great danger for some of their cities

[zanth]

T 142, time for some pics

[zanth]

Btw, 2metra/ot4e have 42 free gold, 258 beakers to go for calendar, so it's 0% science slider. And even at 100% gold they gave negative money balance. Very poor position, they could be strting to fall soon

Nice GNP

Well, we've started 2nd GA, hoping to reach Nationalism and built Taj, having 24 turns of GA in a row. We've also conquered an island city of 2metra and are going for the second one.

The main unknown is the reaction of 2metra and his neighbours. He has an enormous empire with entirely empty treasury and ruined economy. Though his army is the biggest one, his 4-move galleys are not so fearsome. And it seems, HA and cats are the most advanced units.. First OH razed(?) a city of Vikings, then us. It is a clear signal that it's time for others to obtain their slice of pie.

Still, if he survives we could beeline Astronomy, otherwise, Guilds could be wiser. And we still have to obtain Old Harry's lands.

I wonder what's going on in 2metra's head. He sent something like 10 trirems to kill our fleet which wasn't any kind of concern for him
