Thanks for the overview. Where are you planning to add filler cities? (Not that I would call a city that claims new food filler, but I get what you mean)

Well there is room for 4 more cities 5 if I claim the last spot on the marble island, but would annoy Scooter. The 2 yellow spots are planned for the next settlers. The green spot is a small filler city. I'm still not sure if I settle it there or 1 spot south and gain another plain river tile that way. The purple spot is possible, but I find it worthless. Better use the food for the other surrounding cities. The only new tiles it would claim are a few water tiles.

Post-T100 "filler" cities with food resources of their own. .
You mentioned you plan to not adopt Organized Religion. What else do you have in mind with civics? I think right now your only civic is Slavery, right?

Yes I only run Slavery and it will be my only civic for a long time. After Education (and Gunpowder) I want to push for Constitution. Ideally I want to use my first golden age to switch into Hereditary Rule, Bureaucracy and Pacifism.
With my second golden age I want to switch into my almost final civics in the form of Representation, Nationhood, Caste System and Pacifism Later with a third golden age I would like to run my final civics in the form of Representation, Nationhood, Emancipation, Mercantilism and either Pacifism or Free Religion most likely the latter.

Just wanted to avoid investing tech into Monotheism and the increased maintenance cost of OrgRel

The song
Music: RoeTaKa - Hunt: Showdown 'Dark Awaits' OC ReMix I know absolutely nothing about this game, but I liked this track. It's so dark in a nice foreshadowing way. Like something big is coming. This is yet another arrangement you can find and download from Overclocked Remix. T102: It's the turn that we decided to do the trade embargo against Mjmd and of course someone had to make problems. That someone of course is Bing (who else). When I was about to play T101 he came around with this demand: Quote:Bing: I think I need 80 gold from each of you for this mass MJMD border close - will ask it of the others also. MJMD offered to fund me, but presumably won't if I close borders with him. Actually, he offered me a "0% interest loan" to limp to currency. Oh Bing you annoying prick. Well chatted the others up. First Scooter. Do note that I skip a lot of messages that are rather unimportant now. We discussed the current wonders and how Mjmd used his Engineer for MoM. Nothing that interesting. Quote:Charriu: Great now Bing wants money for the embargo. I don't want to pay him. I think we would be fine without him joining the embargo. He only has 2 cities on islands or 3. Mjmd might even loose more money if he loans Bing money and looses our tade routes. It's also a very convenient timing from Mjmd. On top of it. Mjmd must suspect something is up if Bing doesn't accept a gift immediately. Also remember how I said he finished Iron Working? Apparently not. He's once again slotted it in. This means he's also switching around techs before finishing them. Nice to get some added information in there regarding their Currency time. Next Superdeath: Quote:Charriu: Great now Bing wants money for the embargo. I don't want to pay him. I think we would be fine without him joining the embargo. He only has 2 cities on islands or 3. Mjmd might even loose more money if he loans Bing money and looses our tade routes. And Superdeath is also not paying. Nice try Bing. Scooter and I closed borders this turn. Mjmd lost at least 5 gold per turn from that. For more we need the others to follow along. Of course I am also loosing here, but that's always the price of an embargo. The border protection is a bit on the bad side right now. But another spearman is on it's way from the north and the one in Shimomura will move to Matsumae. Since this is somewhat surprising to Mjmd I don't think there will be chariots immediately at my doorstep.

After asking the others I went on to give Bing an answer about his demands:
Quote:Charriu: Superdeath, Scooter and I talked. You will not get any gold from us. You really are a clown. But at least he tried something with diplomacy. I think the main reason why this stunt didn't work is because Bing did not put in the work to establish enough trust with the others by fostering good relationships. With those it might have worked out. I've let the others know about Bings answer. Here are their responses: Quote:Scooter: HAH And Superdeath: Quote:Superdeath: Lol As of end of T103 Bing still has open borders with Mjmd.

1. Scooter: Has the good wonders and the easiest option for expansion in Bing
2. Mjmd: Great expansion by him, but no easy expansion option afterwards. Growing so big so fast might backfire as it puts a target on him as we've seen. Sometimes it's not the best option to lead from the beginning. 3. Charriu: Tech leader and easy expansion into Bing, but I'm at a huge city disadvantage right now and Scooter has already a step into the door to Bing. 4. Superdeath: Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Don't ask me who is who? 5. Bing: Don't feed the troll.
