Some types of ranking (like in golf) have ties such that the next non-tied person gets the ranking number that he would have gotten had there been no ties. I think in the Olympics you can have two silver medalists and no bronzes if there's a tie for second, for example.

We have a trireme that will finish end of turn. It'll be faster to get it out to sea by having it finish as a trireme and then upgrading it to a Frigate. That's about the only reason we're doing it, but it seems worthwhile.
At the same time, we really don't mind if mackoti manages to corner and kill our expedition force. We're trying to buy time for us to get Frigates in the water. I mean, we want to do as much as possible, but they don't need to survive to be successful.

Also, congrats on the warfare
Whoops, that list was the total beaker count for each team. Getting ahead of myself, working on the t176 Power Rankings now.

pin, after the above post i was surprised to go back and see the tech rankings didnt have a label. I knew exactly what they were at first glance... but the contents caught my attention:

huge gap from plako to Ichabod...
love the naval tactics, look forward to more!

Oh, Brick meant the second set of numbers. I actually mentally inserted a sentence labeling them as tech rankings...

Okay, this makes sense.

Turn 176 Power Rankings
Link to previous Power Rankings:
Kind of an abbreviated version this time - no citizen count and no wonder listing, although i'm not sure if there have been too many wonders built in the last 25 turns (dtay built Taj, any others?).
After I put the list together, I noticed it lines up with score almost exactly. So obviously I'm making a unique contribution here... heh

It seems to me that he intends to trap you in that city.

Yeah we talked about that a little last night after playing the turn. Honestly, we're OK with that. What we badly needed was to buy time so that we could get our own Frigates (and then Ship of the Line) into the waters. We've done that successfully, so we're pretty much content with whatever the results of this ends up being because we've pushed the conflict away from our shores like we had hoped.

And he's spending more hammers to defend than we are to attack, plus we've gained some land. A minor strategic victory.
