Always assume collateral. It's not a huge thing, just kind of a neat wrinkle.
Hey check it, hit the conqueror's plateau. My economy is currently strictly third-rate, despite all these very nice villages. Nothing to fix it but to get bigger. ![[Image: nlXw7s8.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/nlXw7s8.jpg) The first-rate sustained economies are actually Scooter and TBS, who has sprouted cothons all over. Protective is really excellent, and it scales remarkably well. Scooter for his part detoured for Banking...and I have to wonder, are half-priced bank maybe a little too much? Financial was plenty strong as it was, once Banking is hit it might be stronger? Maybe? I don't know how to properly rate Cornflakes' economy with his vast pile of wonders, gigantic cities, but real need for more room. Forget Scooter, even I will be able to outstrip him economically eventually with current land...so he's about to draft himself silly I'm sure. Muskets off of galleons are scary enough, muskets off East Indiamen are even worse. Complemented with cuirs...I'm very glad that Mr. Flakes is the problem of TBS and Scooter, not me yet.

Quick mechanics check; the 10xp upgrade limit applies with great general attached units too, right? I'd like to slap a GG on a horse archer for the free upgrade but if I recall correctly, that does block me from pulling morale/mobility shenanigans with a 13xp knight, right?

As far as I can tell, units with an attached GG are not subject to the same rules with upgrades - they retain all their XP when upgraded.

Yeah, the 10xp max rule doesn't apply to units with a Great General attached. I've played a few SP games where I got GG units all the way up to 250+ XP, originally as axes and ending as mechanized infantry. (SP shenanigans, what can I say ...)

Bad news: Intended victim begins to mass-whip.  Good news: ...while still playing a three-and-a-half minute turn.

When is the GO-GO date?
Also, what is your take on the classic meal, Chili?
