ok, first things first, that silver is amazing. This can be nothing but a miracle blessing from the gods as reward for smiting Borsche The Unworthy. Praise Be.
secondly, that crop yield deficit is obscene. you're right, its a little scary, although i'm slightly bouyed by the fact that we're not far off 1st in GNP, given we had to halt our REXing for a while.
Yeah, i tend to agree. let's alternate bottas and raikkonen on boats/units with emphasis on boats. i feel like we need to do some more scouting of the other continent so we can figure out exactly who it the giant CY player is and if they're vulnerable at all. I don't think we need to try too hard to land swords anywhere any time soon. I think if we just ensure we have a superior number of boats in the water then we'll be safe enough from invasion long enough for us to keep our development going and getting berzerkers on the map.
I get the impression you're reasonably worried about a naval attack from the others, or at the very least, naufragar. I feel like they'd still be a while off Machinery and it would surprise me if they've got more than 1-2 galleys available in any case. I think if we just pump out a few triremes asap we'll be safe. In my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience, naval combat really just comes down to not letting your enemies out number you.
With the prophet, i reckon we just fire off a GA. I thin kthat the shrine won't really be a huge increase without us putting a bunch of work in. I do always feel bad popping a GA this early but being able to switch in to OR, HR and a religion for free is pretty enticing, and we still have a few turns to prepare to make the most of the GA.
In fact, now that we have that silver, we can probably even delay monarchy for a bit? We don't have any wines we need to improve and since we've now got +3 happies (assuming a forge) we aren't going to be hurting as much. what do you think about getting IW next (so we can clear + settle the jungle), continue rexing, then start knocking over some pre-reqs for CS, starting with Math and then Currency to help pay for our new cities?
I won't end the turn just yet, let me know what you think. there's still 8 hours on the clock and if I don't hear from you before I go to sleep (in the next 90 minutes) i'll proceed with the above.
