Hi, thanks for the interest first of all! Things have been going pretty much the same, which is why I haven't posted much, sorry about that. The mid game is pretty draggy without any conflict thusfar. I struggle to write reports when I'm not very engaged myself, and I doubt it'd make interesting reading either. I'm just getting in Buildings, Districts and Improvements in my core, which is nearing what I would call "finished".

Big development is that I'm ~3 Settler moves away from having my full island settled. Another more recent development is that I've started upgrading my Classical Era ships to Renaissance era ones, already have caravel tech and I'll unlock my Unique Jonks in a few turns. As Emperor K doesn't have the tech (at least not judging from his cities combat strenght) I may be able to raise/take some cities from him if I get the gold together fast enough.

I'll post an empire overview for you guys once I get that last city down.

The situation at Ungrim Ironfist, the city is at 15 strenght and I have two Caravels at 50 strenght ready to pounce. According to the Hans Lemurson calculation that is at least 99 damage per attack ( yikes ) meaning the city falls in 2-3 turns. Unless I see an upgrade or walls next turn I attack, possibly with walls too hammer

The goal of this attack will be doing as much damage as I can to Emperor K to make an eventual conquest easier. I do not expect I can maintain loyalty this far from my core, so it'll probably be scorched earth on the menu. If all his cities are coastal however.... that could be another story smile

98 damage on that hit. Next turn or the turn after it burns.

As promised, here's the empire overview with my last city down. As you can see some of them just have generic names. Here's your chance to get your favourite Indonesian dish immortalised lurkers!

Something finally seems to be happening:

First of all I manage to swipe a great admiral who gives me a free, promoted Ironclad! Since I got the historical moment for being the first to use a coal powered unit. That means I'm the first in the world who has one!

Now for the cool part:

The Archduke, at the top of the scoreboard as usual, seems to have landed himself in a Dark Age so his far away cities are starting to flip! Woops! lol

Now he just beat my navy to taking Vilnius there, so when it becomes a free city it's time for expansion.
