Goreripper. Here is where I had fun just before the end.

[Commodore]

What is the city ratio between you and Hashoosh?

[Goreripper]

Well I have iron.

What is the city ratio between you and Hashoosh?

I have nine cities. Ten will be next turn. He has five.


I will run out of room just in time to mass knights.

[Goreripper]

Dear Hashoosh. Please look at this hill border city over a river. Please ignore the barely defended flat land city in the north.

Thank you. Signed Goreripper.

[Lewwyn]

What is his power?

[Goreripper]

What is his power?

Too much. Although I have been climbing too. I am near his power and just about to finish construction so any attack of his is hopeless.


But it is going to hurt. I rely too much on phalanx early against his chariots so now here we are.

[Commodore]

Yeah you're about to be suicided on.

[Goreripper]

I am offering my new dye for his single wine. I hope Mike agrees with the sign.

[Goreripper]

I met the winners today. They were rattling the tin cup. I told them where to go shove it. Or else OB for Silver or 5 gold per turn. I know what that makes me but I have my little micro problem here.


I am hoping to get away with just whipping only a few more spears and showing catapults and horse archers while my commerce cities work on being happy. Creative Greece is very nice for happy. Thales needs Monarchy and Bureaucracy soon though. It is kind of on the way to knights.


Now let us just see how much Hashooshes little attack hurts. He doubled moved this last turn and is roading. I expect to be at war next turn.

[Commodore]

I expect to be at war next turn.

And how does this make you feel?

[Goreripper]

I expect to be at war next turn.

And how does this make you feel?

Confused. Because nothing still and now I have it covered. My power is above his now in fact.

Okay because Gavagai and Gaspar have been locked in a turn split for forever they are not doing as well as they look. So I am probably in third place now. I could overtake Mikehendi definitely. Seven makes that hopeless. Still Bronze Medal game needs to be reported so here.

Turn 100
Here are the demos I referenced. I am beating everyone but Mike in GNP. Power is good. Fourth in MFG and CY and climbing. I expect Gaspar and Gavagai are respectively in the three top for those.


Looking at my local neighborhood it gets kind of silly. Power. I just passed Hashoosh for some weird reason he did not attack earlier. He still might but we will just be trading hammers.


Crop Yield is kind of sad. Mikehendi is great of course. I feel bad for Hashoosh he should have been in a greens game. But I have no idea what 2metraninja has for an excuse.


Manufacturing is less crazy and none of us are those giants out there. Hashoosh whipped or something crazy but I do not see the power spike. Maybe hammans?


GNP it is pretty clear who knows how to play and who is 2metraninja. Mike is mostly ahead on his early Academy but his bonus beakers are in the religion and Monarchy line. Mine were ahead for Liberalism until someone decided I needed Horseback Riding.


Here is my north. I have more spears than anyone ever wants to see but I am at peace with it. I feel pretty secure here. This is all settled for now I just need to grow then whip a million knights.


The south needs four more settlers but the cities that are here are very good. Happy is a big deal here and even bigger is the iron and horse.


Cities. First Top Five screen. The five people here who know how to play are all on the screen. First is Mikehendi with Monarchy. Then me with Creative culture. Then Gaspar with wonders. Then Seven with being awesome. Then Gavagai just rounding it all out.


Okay. I will not detail all of my cities but here is Thales. It needs Bureaucracy very badly but I might go for Guilds first. Happy cap is less of a problem right now. It will be twelve with the odeon and thirteen with a forge. For some stupid reason nobody has built the Colossus yet so I might as well try. Knocking out a fast 3 turn Metal Casing at 80% means my beaker rate is fine.

The rest get quick thoughts.
