[spoilers] Pindicator and Regoarrarr - Bismark of Ethiopia

[regoarrarr]

Well even had we put those workers on the aforementioned galley, they wouldn't have been in position this turn.

Had we thought about it 2-3 turns ago, instead of only last turn, we could have moved another worker down from Schweddy Balls

[regoarrarr]

Hmm Yuri logged in and logged out without ending turn. Wonder if anything is going on

New Pitboss tactic: offer your opponent peace then pause the game.

I wondered if that might be the case. But in fact, it is Cyneheard proposing a world map trade, which I plan to accept

I was thinking the same thing when i saw the tech thread.
Rego, gonna be a little later than i anticipated. Was barely on schedule until a bus ran a red light and zoomed past me as i was 20ft away from the bus stop.

When do you want to finish up this turn? I haven't logged in to the game myself

[regoarrarr]

logging in now but we have a diplo screen

(spices for sheep from scooter)

Krill is logging in to unapuse

[regoarrarr]

Okay Krill unpaused. After some deliberation, we declined that trade. We don't really need the health, once we build a grocers. We may re-offer it for some gpt, but at this point we're staying neutral in the Krill v. Scooter battle.

Speaking of Scooter - he teched Economics and swapped to Free Market (!)

Yuri swapped to Vassalage and Slavery :-(

Here's the scene at Tarsonis

[regoarrarr]

After we moved our sentries and spies about, there was nothing stopping us from



(lost a sacrifical F2 Horse Archer and 1 Knight @ 81% odds). It came with a forge, granary, grocer and an Academy Yuri had actually moved his capital here, but now it moved back to the original site of Aiur.

One annoying thing is that Nakor was selling iron to Yuri for 10gpt, so we declared on Nakor in hopes of canceling it (since all pre-Astro trade routes go through us). It didn't appear to work, though after we ended turn, it did appear to be canceled

Because taking [strike]Tarsonis[/strike]Matt Foley removed the culture 1NE of the city center, we were able to move our knight stack (pictured here on the iron tile) through the city to the tile SW where it can threaten Zhakul next turn. Plans at this point are to burn that city, breaking Yuri's empire in two. We also pillaged that iron (for 15g) though at EOT it reverted into neutral territory anyways.

Here's where we stand now



Note the Noble-inspired "Kansas" fork tile.

[regoarrarr]

One thing I noticed from CivStats is that last turn it looks like Krill razed a city off of Scooter
