Turn 98
We start in the east...
My warriors over exploring Egypt's land found Kaiser's capital. This is good information, his capital is fairly easy to get to and could be attacked fairly easy if I wanted to go down that route (I don't right now, Ichabod is bigger threat). The plan so far is to get another friendship from Kaiser and then a Military Alliance once I get the civic (Civil Service?). Not sure if he is following the same thought process. He may be looking to strike me when he can. Friendship should end on T108.
Builder at Mount Doom is in position to chop the Cothon next turn, so I change civic research to Drama so I can chop out the lighthouse too before dropping Veterancy for Maneuver.
Over at my core, I switch production at Osgiliath to the Commercial Hub since the new era starts next turn. Ichabod and suboptimal we see my true science rate of 42
before I get to choose Free Inquiry agian but I will also gain another 10 next turn with the CH and Cothon. Then another 4 on T100 and another 6 on T104. I should be leading in science in about 5 turns. And I will continue, as Magnus will go to Misty Mountains to chop out the library and a Commercial Hub/Market.
I notice that Kaiser stole one of Ichabod's builders but also it kind of looks like Ichabod might be setting up to attack. He could be close to Stirrups and has his chariot by Erebor ready to upgrade. I will have to be on alert. I am planning to build 5 chariots, starting on T100 when Maneuver is in place and can 2 turn Stirrups anytime afterwards. I am also thinking about keeping the Caravel at Fez close to home. It will explore down by Ichabod's southern lands and see if another city is hiding in the south. I don't think there is a race around the world, as suboptimal probably holding off until the era change to complete his circumnavigation of the map and I won't be surprised if he gets 5 era points on his turn for it.
Internationally, Ichabod gained an empire point and finished a tech. Kaiser finished a civic. No score change for suboptimal and CMF gained 3 empire points. I did take a look at the race for the next Prophet and it looks like Kaiser will be able to get it the turn before I do. We are both 5 turns from it but he still has this turn, so he will get it. I am going to faith buy it in a few turns, since the next one will cost more.
I plan on providing an empire overview and my immediate plans in the next turn report and then a game overview and some longer term thoughts on T100. I think the world congress will be between T99 and T100, or the turn after, seems to remember it is fairly soon after the era change.
