[spoiler] Q: Why am I even here? A: To find bugs!

[Ruff_Hi]

Welcome to the ADs.

Moving units around, started Galley in DS9, positioning some units in Roman territory to take a look-see at what is happening there next turn.

Exploring FTs land.

I have charts on everyone. Might post full set tomorrow.

Chopping board is in the garage being glued up.

Q: What do you do with the wood offcuts?
A: Make something else.

These, once glued up and sliced will be turned into drink coasters.

Gaaa - that is a lot of edge grain.

[Ruff_Hi]

I peaked into the roman capital using one of the Horse Whisper benefits ... sentry ... and found only 2 units.

A Spear and an Archer.  My unpromoted sword gets 57% against the archer.

Moving it (not shown) ...

FT certainty has a bunch of units.  The top axe was heading home ... maybe the whole stack is heading home?

And did you see Commodores GDP chart?  He must be hurting.

Oh ... found that you can get +1XP for building a colesseum.  I really like that change.

Edit: meant to point out that you can play with who is shown in your charts.  Naturally, you need enough EPs ... but if you don't care about India or Mr C (for example!), click on their name and their charts disappear.

Yep ... FT units are pulling back.  They got peace with SD.  Concerned about Commodore build up.  Commodore whipped 230 hammers this turn.

SD is currently too strong for me.  I offered peace and pulled back my units.
Left stack is on yellow circle tile, other stack is in his capital (I forgot to grab a pic when I could see them).

SD can hit me with his capital stack, but both sides will end up taking heavy losses.

Calendar tech in 1 .

SD can hit me with his capital stack, but both sides will end up taking heavy losses.

Well ... maybe not both sides

And this is why renaming units should be banned.  What was defending against what?

Hirogen are either horse archers or phants (HA in this case).  Everything else is a Jem'Hadar.

Edit: Not sure what SD was thinking ... odds for his attacks ...

1. 3.3%
   
2. 3.3%
   
3. 0.5%
   
4. 0.6%
   
5. 0.5%
   
6. 0.5%
   
7. 0.5%
   
8. 38.1% <-- this is the one that SD won.

Doesn't the detailed combat log format the string with the civ name and actual unit type?

[Ruff_Hi]

I pulled my units back into my new, shiny ice shelf city.  Let's see if SD really wants that city back.

Note that SD doesn't have construction (see left river crossing pic below) while I do (right river crossing).  This means that his 1-movers
can't hit Benzar ... he will have to come closer if he wants to do that.

And here I made a mistake.  I moved too many units into Benzar ... I should have kept some of them on the horses so SD couldn't see them.
I must re-read The Art of War.

Blind Spy #1 has found Wisconsin's defenses.  Blind Spy #2 has revealed that India's capital is bravely defended by a sole archer.
There are 10 other units in his 2nd city.

Edit: One other thing ... I broke out my calculated and divided my power (333,000 at the time) by the lowest power (151,000) to get 2.2053
and then I looked at the power ratio on the scoreboard for SD ... 2.2053 ... hee hee, SD is the weakest link!

SD moved his stack of axes and spears next to his old Ice Shelf city.  I changed the city to coin and pulled back my units.
He we reclaim that city not on a hill next turn and in five (5) turns, we will see what happens.  My civ is definitely on a
war footing.

SD has 5 archers in his Wonder City and 4 archers in his Capital.

Dye on the Gem Island came on line.  Banana in a few turns ... but that city already has 2 x 5f tiles, another 5f tile
will just make it a crazy city.  And it has hills for production ... I will be enjoying that city in the future.

First 5XP galley rolled off the line (Moai city) ... and got Nav II and Sentry.  I have also worked out a ferry system between those cities
and the mainland.

India accepted my OB offer and sent a chariot into my land.  I returned the favor.

Cancelled the dye / fur and sugar / marble trade with Cornflakes.  Offered him this instead ...

I have some pictures somewhere ... where did I put them ...

• peace deal with SD (for 5 turns only)
  
• I have a spy sitting in his capital (currently empty)
  
• I can see all the tiles between Ice Shelf and Capital (empty)
  
• My other spy is heading towards Wonder City (5-6 turns away)
  
• I tried to run a espionage mission ... the only option I get is 'never mind'
  
• Cornflakes is giving me spices plus 2g per turn for marble
  I bet he is building Heroic Epic
  
• FT is in Bureaucracy
  
• Commodore has Samurai to hand
  
• I am 1-turning super duper cheap techs

Mostly building units, workers completing roads / plantations and watching other people move units through my land (Japan and India).

Rome's capital has emptied out ... FT declared war (again).
