GE's Palace theme again (spoilers)

Turn 82 & I ramped up the tech rate to finish Feudalism this term. Set the tech trail to Guilds (note to self: do Horseback Riding at some point)

Turn 85 & Pickle offers me his spare Fur for my spare Gold - accepted, plus 1 Happy overall for me.

Dreylin also asks for my once-spare Gold for his Dye - initially rejected, but then I decided to offer that trade back; there's a risk he gets more out of it if he has a Forge, but hey-ho.

Adrien has brought Horse Archers over to his city planted in my back garden .. damn, should've attacked it a lot sooner!!

Turn 90 & Courthouses are coming in thick & fast rolf  

Machinery completed at end of turn; in 6 turns (approx) I'll have Guilds.

Turn 91 & I've just noticed i have an awesome Economy!  +150G/turn @ 0% tech & -50G/turn @ 100%!!  So 1 turn @ 0% pays for 3 @ 100% jive

So, Guilds by turn 94, then I'll have to do Iron Working (not sure why I skipped it) for Crossbows, etc before Masonry -> Construction -> Engineering.

Maybe I could afford some extra EPs too shhh

Turn 95 & Iron Working is in. Iron found, but I'll have to destroy a Plains Cottage (thankfully not yet developed) to Mine it! Why can't this have popped up in an existing Mine ... grrrr!

Tech plan will (hopefully) go as follows:

0% (1) -> Masonry (1) -> Construction (1) -> 0% (1) -> Engineering (3) -> 0% (1) -> Horseback Riding (1) -> Monotheism (1) -> Polytheism (1) -> 0% (1) -> Theology (2)

Turn 96 & I settled my ninth city (Peter Taylor). Masonry completed at 0% tech! so I'm already ahead of the schedule posted above.

Question for any lurkers out there: what does the percentile mean on the Espionage page? Is this the difference in the points spent per turn? e.g. Dreylin's showing as 110%; if I spend 10 on him is he spending 11? Or is it something else?

Turn 97 & Construction completes. Revised plan: Engineering (2) -> 0% (1) -> Horseback Riding (1) -> Monotheism (1) -> Polytheism (1) -> 0% (1) -> Theology (2)

I've noted down the EPs ratios:

Dreylin: 173/158 (+12/turn)
Adrien: 87/120 (+1/turn)
Pickle: 123/136 (+5/turn)

The bit in brackets is is what I'm spending on each, I'll note what they're spending on me next turn (if I remember)
