[spoilers] Commodore's 69 Techniques

[Commodore]

I'm content. Teching Iron Working doesn't slow Feudalism's ETA, so I'll be able to start chopping jungles which is nice. No Calendar, though, it's not on the grenadier beeline.

I didn't notice you reading for Pin, that's quite funny. Could you just spare the worker labour?

I'm good for worker labor right now, sadly. Thirteen cities but you'll notice I'm dismayingly light on land tiles despite my size. I'm unfortunately in twiddle mode for map-situation improvement right now. We flip a switch into Always Peace right now I think I'm in the catbird seat. Alas, I'm not sure where a great avenue for expansion is unless I can split Bing with someone.

Who needs a great avenue when you have grenadiers vs. elephants and horse archers

That'd be lovely, but I'm sure there's maces and knights at least by then, probably muskets.

Gavagai is fighting Pitboss 69's own Dud, Mr. Super Death. Won't be enough to let Gav win I think, but it's certainly going to mess up Sumer.

...if I had SHOCK EVENT VULTURES this would have never happened. Ah well. Maybe Nofflebogger will get more use from his Special Crossbows (what's that promo?)

Combat 1, according to the XML.

Thanks, I was going to have to dig myself. Nice event. 

In other questions:
Is there any possibility Superdeath learns something from being attacked by the horses he gifted to Gavagai to screw Pin and I?

[Commodore]

Superdeath whipped himself, as did Bing, dropping trade route value by 1 commerce, making me miss Fuedalism by one beaker. Lol.

Anyway, shush, it's fine, because here's turn 144 and I HAVE A TOWN:
   
As you can see from the window, I've been disciplined and have labored hard to make my few precious green tiles bloom into hamlets and villages. This isn't hopeless, because I'm investing.

[Commodore]

Honest question...
   
...how would Pindicator attacking me be anything other than a spiteful lose/lose proposition?
   
Offered Fish-for-Fish to see if Pin wants to be friendly, otherwise we're going to Have Issues. Already irritated that I had to revolt to Vassalage without Caste as well, but if Pin's going to decide to blow it all up for both of us I'm going to have to whip a billion longbows.
