Pictures and descriptions are a bit out of sync.

You seem to be doing very well. Any plans to do military campaigns or building wonders?

Whoops, thanks for that.

I don't have any wonder plans ATM since I'm focusing more on expansion right now. Depending on what everyone else does I might try and go for some later.

My current military campaign is to clear both remaining Dog Soldiers from my lands with 2 chariots. After that is uncertain, although I will definitely need to do something about Serdoa before he gets Cataphracts, even more so given our proximity. Probably after I get his demogs in a few turns I'll start thinking of something. As for everyone else, ad seems a bit far away to think about attacking in the near future and the others aren't my neighbors.

[WarriorKnight]

Managed to get Serdoa's demogs this turn, which means I have everyone's demogs except meatbalz (who I don't have contact with). Going to try and get Serdoa's research although I'm not sure how successful that will be.

Serdoa seems to be doing alright ATM with 1st in GNP and decent in the other categories but he has a large power drop 2 or 3 turns ago. Is he clashing with Shoot? (Don't answer that) He's seen ad's Dogs camping out on my pigs, although that should change next turn as I now have 2 chariots in place.

Shoot seems to be my main competition currently and ad is trailing. I'm not sure where meatbalz is but I have a feeling he's doing alright.

Built my 4th city last turn although I think I've misplaced it. If I get forked by a naval invasion later on it'll cost me.

[WarriorKnight]

Don't have enough time to go through each city (and I did that 8 turns ago anyway) so my T50 report will just be the Demographics:



I'm fighting with StM for first place, Serdoa is in the middle of the pack and AH is last. Dunno where meatbalz is but he's probably at Serdoa's level.

Serdoa built Oracle last turn, have to check next turn to see what he took.

Current plan is to expand to all available land (I currently have 4 cities 7-6-6-3 and another settler under production). After that's done (25-30 turns maybe) I'll probably attack AH, although if Serdoa hasn't reached the medieval era by then I might change targets.

[WarriorKnight]

Serdoa took Feudalism, which effectively stops me attacking him pre-Cataphracts. Good move for him I guess, I better focus on AH then.

Finished math EoT and now I need to go get Monarchy (with a pre-req bonus ). After that I could go for a bunch of different things (IW to clear Jungle and Swords, HBR for HA's, Calendar for Plantations or MC for forges and triremes).

[WarriorKnight]

Change of plans. I'm 1st in power but I haven't really been focusing on building troops much, so I'm going to go for HG with 5 cities. ETA is EoT57 so you don't have to ask.

My borders expanded at my southern city revealing a Indian border across the sea. Fortunately I've built a galley already and I'm going to see if I can cause any havoc with it.

[WarriorKnight]

StM got HG. That's what I get for getting rid of my C&D department and not paying attention to scores anymore. Also delaying writing and going up the religious path instead helped to. Good thing I only wasted 1 turn on it.

Problem is that I don't really know what to build anymore. Maybe I could try and land a naval assault on StM? That would be funny as he's 1st and I'm not under any serious threats right now. Or maybe that's a silly idea and I should stay focused on AH and just get a naval defense up.

I'll probably go for MC next (Triremes, +1 happy forges and Colossus with copper is awesome). I hope I can get the Colossus this time though. At least forges are useful buildings if I do miss the Colossus.

[WarriorKnight]

Oh man, I really need Monarchy. Why exactly did I go for math first again? I just did 4 whips this turn (3 Libraries, 1 lighthouse, overflow into military) to try and prevent going into unhappiness but I'll be hitting the cap again next turn. Good thing I can run scientists soon.

I'll do another city run through again in a couple of turns. In the meantime I'm running out of ideas for city names, does anyone have some ideas? Must contain the word 'Sun' in the name somewhere.

Is that enough for now...?
