Major news this turn is that I completed the WARSHIP quest but didn't get the benefit I would have preferred.
Similar to the Horse Whisperer quest (completed, no benefit) but different.
Moving units around, bringing up my TriWarShips, hoping to get OB with Smurfman so I can chase India galleys.
India Galleys are looking to chase my troop transport galleys ... but I expect they won't try now that my TriFleet is in the water.
Oh ... those three units I left in Indian territory ... blotted out with no victories.
Turn Order ...

Maybe held it a little longer. That city had to go!

In other news ... I cross threaded my Dewalt DW618 router thread ... effectively buggering it  .
Replacement part is $90. Brand new DW618 is $180.
I am talking to Dewalt Servicing to see what they suggest.

Out of the last pb's that i played that had events, ive gotten nothing but oasis +1C and a small +25 beakers towards something i was researching. Horse Whisperer, and "cough" ALL melee units get Cover... "cough" hurt...
I'm thinking about if it would be better if everybody gets access to all quests (or they are accessed at certain techs) and not giving them out randomly.

Here is one area of my game that could be a lot better. I make terrible tactical decisions. Couple that with average strategy and you get crap outcomes.
Here is the situation I see at the beginning of my turn ...
Note that I don't actually have a screenshot of it (the above is at the beginning of the prior turn) so I will have
describe what happened between turns.
I moved my galleys (those extra dots are units on board) and unloaded them into the city (the city building the cat).
Then parked them both on RED dot. A Tri had just come out of the cat city ... and he got parked on red dot too.
India moved his fleet (2 x barely there Tri and 4 x Galleys) to pink dot.
Other aspect ... I have a fleet of 3-4 Tris coming around the top and will arrive on the fish 3 tiles north of Founders Gone
in about 2-3 turns. My Tri at red dot gets 88% victory odds and the cats get 30% victory odds.
Also note that I have already played this turn so anything you say won't change what I actually did.
i will be back later today to fill you in on my crap play.
So ... your challenge ... 1) work out what you would do and 2) work out what I did

What I should have done ... - moved my Tri and the two empty Galleys to the chock point 1 tile left of pink dot
- that would have forced India to engage at bad odds
- or reverse course into my Tri-fleet
What I did do ... - attacked the Indian fleet with my single Tri
- and to make that worthless attack more worthless ...
- lost
I am going to mark up those chock points so that I never forget about them again.
And to make matters worse (stratgey issue), my early thinking about city placements had that Cat building city on the flood plan ... so that I could put a fort on the grassland (wiht the two workers) and speed up transit time between one side of my island and the other.
As it is, I am building a fort on the pigs (shake head) to get quicker transit time ... and I can see myself spending tons of worker cycles swapping back and forth between pig pen and pig fort.

I moved some sentry units into India territory and got this screenshot ...

Those sentry units got hit by India units that I couldn't see. A HA took out the chariot and a chariot took out the tracker.
India moved his fleet towards home and added a fully functional Tri.
I offered India peace - no gains to be made at the moment.
Turn order currently remains ...

No more turn order required ... I am (currently) at peace with everyone.
