Why are you teching Archery again?

Accumulating overflow while waiting for the GS to bulb into Education.

I renamed Delhi to Cuba Libre and set it to build culture, working the plains forest hill. Borders will then pop next turn, so it can work the clams instead of the oasis. I think that's worthwhile, as we would otherwise have to wait three more turns for the border pop. (Actually, doing the math quickly, it seems like we'll come out 2 hammers behind at size 2 with this move, but 8 culture ahead. It feels good to pop the borders ASAP, but maybe it isn't the rational best choice after all.)

I have also taken notes for the sandbox so I'll try to get that up sometime later today.

It feels like we are a little short on workers at the moment, but since we're almost done expanding, maybe we should just try to make do.

Can someone do me a favour and check if either TEAM or Menagerie got a tech last turn, and also get me a screenshot of the power graph? I'm pretty busy today & tomorrow and I don't think I'll get a chance to log onto the game myself before Tuesday :/

If we want border pop fast (I think we do). It is better to build culture+hire Artist.

I think we can do without extra workers. It would be pretty fast to build one so we could also switch some of the Forge builds to FW.

TEAM has IW and 3M CoL.

Yeah that's what I assumed it was then I noticed your slider was at 0%...of course now I notice you're still producing 240+ beakers doing that.

Yeah, nice catch. I forgot about caste system. Let's do this, for +4 beakers.

Yeah, if not for that our economy really wouldn't be so hot. That, and failgold. Failing FTW!

We inadvertently exploited the build culture bug last turn. Since Cuba Libre was building culture while having a granary queued behind it, and popped borders, it had 2 base hammers invested twice: both into culture AND into the granary.

So if it's possible to unselect the build and build nothing for a turn, we could do that in Cuba Libre, just to compensate. (Alternatively put two hammers into a unit that will eventually decay.)
