More like "click on show CFC, then wait a bit for the chart to reload"; repeat for each team.
In more important news, CFC now has finished their National Epic. They've built it in Astan, the city east of their stupid border city with us.
From a city location standpoint, that's an excellent choice - it has a grass pig, grass cow, a farmed flood plains, and a bunch of farmable grassland tiles, and then a horse and a copper it can borrow for some concentrated production.
However, right now it has the following for infra: a library, a courthouse, and a granary. Ie, it can only run a very limited number of specialists once they switch out from caste, and no engineers.

Apolyton has now probably claimed the award for "latest research of Iron Working in a competitive Civ game", getting the tech on T157 (920 AD according to the event log).
This also makes me think they have a total of 117 pop right now, since their score increase of 16 would require 2 pop growths to give 4 score, which is the case for 115 to 117 pop. They have a visible total population of 110, and 5 cities of unknown size (of which at least 2 are size 1, being founded T155 and T157).

Not much to say until I can log into the game. I think Apolyton picked up another tech this turn (they have plenty of ancient techs they can get), and likley CivPlayers and CFC as well. Quite possibly WPC as well.
But of most interest might be the power graph, which supports CivFr's message that they intend to continue their war with CFC:
That's a very steady power increase for at least 5 turns straight now, despite doing hardly any whipping. However, I find it strange that they don't have any barracks or stables built. Will have to double-check their cities once I can log in.

Not too many new buildings that I noted. Main news are that WPC finally finished Currency, Apolyton finally finished Calendar, and CivPlayers picked up Engineering.
The total rival power has increased considerably, with circa 100k, and eyeballing the APTmod graph tells me CivFr probably amounted to half that. We also have modest power increases for the Germans and WPC, so no sign of real military buildup from Apolyton, CivPlayers, or Univers.

Apolyton has turned on the spy economy.
First, the cost of stealing their techs went up with a noticeable amount this turn (increases of 200+ in all their cities). Then APTmod shows the following messages:
Turn Message
159 The secrets of Liberalism were stolen by enemy infiltrators!
159 A Spy has been stumbled upon while operating near the Beyond city of Weil der Stadt!
159 The secrets of Nationalism were stolen by enemy infiltrators!
159 Taoism has spread in Weil der Stadt.
159 The secrets of Engineering were stolen by enemy infiltrators!
159 zioun adopts Free Religion!
This coincides with Apolyton getting score increases of 18, 24, and 24 points. Scooter, I think it's time for a very strongly worded note to that team.

Oh boy. That's quite a trio of steals right there. I see them on chat. I'll try to contact them.

To be clear: I do think getting upset because someone "stole a tech from us" is pretty silly. I think people get hung up on "stole it from ME" when it really does us no harm whatsoever. I'm much more concerned about harmful EP missions.

Nice job by Apolyton. Let's run counterespionage missions. When did they run those EPs on us? Did we just miss it or did they infiltrate us?
I have to run.
