[Spoilers] Ibuprofen and Eyeglasses: Thoth plays a Middle Aged game

[Thoth]

No score increase for Pindicator this turn.


Which means I might just become the dogpileee after I play my next turn and settle 3 more cities, Lib into Nationalism, and complete the Hanging Gardens for 15 pop. (unless Commodore somehow manages to pull something off on his turn.....)





I've got a decent chance of a Great Engineer for Taj out of the capital a few turns after this GA ends and I'll have muskets available to draft after I end the GA in HR/Nationhood/Caste (slavery)/Mercantalism/Theocracy.

With Drafting available I'm leaning towards running caste for the extra workshop hammers in my developed cities and the specialist flexibility.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Congrats! Not tempted by the (iirc) more expensive Astro?

Congrats! Not tempted by the (iirc) more expensive Astro?

Astro is 2392 beakers vs Nationalism at 2152 but Astro can be GS bulbed. 


I've got ~300beakers into Astronomy and I birthed a GS to bulb ~1900 beakers into Astro the turn after Lib so I'll be getting Astro when I play next turn anyway so better to go for something I can't bulb but is still useful.   I thought about Replaceable Parts but my tile improvements aren't set up to make use of it and I'm aiming for Mil Sci rather than Rifling so RP isn't useful to me right now. 

Drafted muskets are going to be useful regardless of whether I spawn a GE for Taj or not.

No plans to hardbuild Taj?

[Thoth]

No marble makes it very expensive and I've got a lot of other things to build right now so not yet.

[Thoth]

Bulbed into Astronomy, revolted to Nationhood, Caste, Mercantilsm, and Theocracy.

Ending turn finished Astronomy and completed two galleons.


Overall I think this was a highly successful Golden Age.

Tech screen is looking a lot better:




Looks like Pindicator will get to RP at the same time as I get to GP.   He's ahead by ~30 in GNP while I'm running break-even.   My max tax is ~160 gpt (about the same as pre-GA but with 4 more cities)

Bunch of units complete over the next few turns as queue stored part  builds finish up.
