Pausing the prophet and using GLH merchant for a trade mission to rush towards Paper (with Bureaucracy along the way) and sniping University of Sankore while Ginger/scooter grab AP might be the better play.

By "rush towards Paper" I do not literally mean take the direct path towards paper ... rather speed up the research along the path. Something like Math > Currency > Calendar (MoM) using the merchant trade mission gold ... launch MoM-boosted GA with 2nd GPerson, aiming for Bureaucracy by end of GA.

Trade mission to an island city should be 1100-1300 gold

Sounds good to me. So, Gmerchant for trade mission- Gprophet for shrine, then rest for GA's?

Bing with a galley. Now, of course he can take the city with anything.. (skirms would be most likely AND hardest to deal with) Ive asked him some probing questions in discord to maybe push him towards not declaring if that was his initial intention. Im hoping this galley is just to explore or settle his stone island.



Whats the over-under on Bing not nuking trade routes/his like only ally? I give it 70% odds he captures/razes the city.

Did I read the diplo thread correctly that MJMD settled 7 cities this turn then landed Hanging Gardens?

Helped engineer an embargo (open borders) on Mjmd to slow him down. Pointed Mjmd's potential fury at Scooter. Charriu's tech lead will be lessened now that im churning thru techs. Ive grabbed math-currency-metal casting-soon to be Code of laws, all within 10t. Mjmd grabbed the MoM, Charriu has the Glibrary, and scooter has his UU. Bing is... Bing.

Any questions?
