[SPOILERS] Lewger goes for the Bigwyn

[Bigger]

turn 156:

for humor:

Ishtar is taunting the barb axe: his mother smells of elderberry
if you look closely you can see azza hasn't evacuated the area. his worker finished the chop and is building a cottage.


ok, so if I don't get another health, I'm growing it to size 16 then stopping. with the -1 health loss, it will have 5 food excess then, so I can take the riverside plains cottage from the iliad, work a plains mine, and give the wheat up to the iliad - which can grow or whip as needed, or work the 2 workshops for hammers. I say if, because Brick has a single banana now. we now have an excess wine (and another one within 10 turns) that im not sure what to do with. Brick is getting wine from serdoa in exchange for silks... anyway Im not sure if we want to blow him away for banana's.. we could also offer wine + furs for commodore's elephants, but a) no need to help commodore b) we don't really need phracts with maces around the corner, and we don't really need the happy either, tbh.


ok, I'm gonna squeeze a settler out of here after all. I have a worker on the plains forest and another on the 3rd ring grassland hill. both will have chops going into maths in 3 turns - a total of 67 hammers after the forge bonus. since I'll be size 8 at that point I think I'll be able to 1 turn the settler.

I have an excess of worker labor on this side of the map, so improving the new city seems a better thing for them to do than improve tiles in maths, king arthur, & el cid that won't be worked for another 30-40 turns.

since I haven't posted demos in awhile (we're at 70% science):





1. commodore built the great library. not a surprise, he built statue of zeus(aesthetics) so lit was only a stone throw away. we would have to have beelined lit before civil service (which I think he actually did, he isn't in bureaucracy) to beat him, so I don't feel bad about it. still want Lit after machinery, for the 2 epics. but we'll have 7 turns of max tax in anticipation of the academy .

2. pindiscooter got a great prophet the old way (I assume from temples). ok thats impressive. so there's shrine #3, since they have the hindu holy city. they are getting back in the game quicker than I expected, tbh. :thumbs: scooter and pindi
