Turn (58)
Score, Rankings, and Great People Race
As I mentioned in my previous posts the score may have been a little off these last turns. So this turn shows the actual score right before I hit the end turn button. The differences are not entirely accurate, but will be correct from here on out. All of my stats are low now compared to every one else. Also I am extremely worried about my military score, I can slot a card to help that when PP is in I just don't think there is much to gain for taking so many turns to build units without that card. Speaking of civics....
I had to abandon my great general plan, and I am not happy on how I played the beginning now. I tried to do to much and it is coming back now. Many turns were effectively wasted on that card. The only good thing I am trying to take out of this is that I may be able to pursue the next one. Persia's military is still growing and I am 9 turns from slotting a production boosting card and then 4 or 5 turns from actually getting a unit out. This switch right here now that I am looking back on it may be what looses me this game. If Alhambram comes a knocking I am done for. He declared war on archduke for extra movement so this is just all around not good. I went with the risky decision to not fall even more behind and well I think it is going to screw me.
With that swap in place I chose to continue a settler and a trader.
Walls are next in Rose. I am hoping that Alhambram is headed towards Hattsua instead of me. I have my warrior in that area, I still think Persia will not move towards me until he can get some immortals out and his city defenses are still in the warrior range.

Well suboptimal is making sure that the duke has to fight for Australian lands. This is nothing but good for me. I do not want either to win, just beat the shit out of each other. This also may entice Persia to look eastwards? I doubt it, he can still declare war on Australia for extra movement. Only time will tell. I am still nervous and I am probably making the worst decisions. I had a high outlook coming into this game but every one exploded in all score categories while I have not. I need time. I need time. Religion will help me out big time so that is something I may have that my enemies will not.
I say that now and watch stonehenge finishes the turn before I get a religion.
