I am generating significantly more food than I need to grow. That is pretty much the time when more food isn't the answer.

Sacrifice the Weak + Breeding Pits + Granary + those farms. Might be a smokehouse in that city as well, can't tell from the screenshot.

Isn't it all just overflow? You could turn every single one of those citizens into specialists and you probably still won't starve.

Correct, unlike hammers the overflow does not cap.

Aracne Lore and Scholarship are sooooo tempting. I have to keep reminding myself tech is not important, tech is not important, tech is not important...

Mithril wielding Immortal Vampire Lords ARE tempting though... shhh

Not sure about whether they are important.

Vampire Lords would be the money shot, but the game is done in 40 turns and I doubt I have the time. Let me do some math. I am pulling a relatively meager 545 bpt right now. I'll be in a GA for 18 turns...figure about 650 beakers average for 40 turns, or 26K. I'm 3K out of 7.5K into Malevolent Designs (Eidolons, Beasties). I have Engineering (2.2K) and Mithril Working (7.4K) as my next techs (+2 STR, although uberfish does have Rust). That leaves me with...12.9K of beakers to do something with. Divince Essence (9.5K) + Theology (7.6K) + Religious Law (2.4K) is 19.5K, clearly out of reach. Rage (6.8K) is an obvioius choice for Brujah. Down to 6.1K. Blasting Power at 5.1K? Nah. How about cash rushing Governor's Manors in all my new cities? That feels like a better use of the commerce.

We had a nice little mini-blitz, four turns in around an hour. I just passed along the 172 save, so only two more boring turns before the fireworks resume hammer.

I don't have HawkVision on all his lands, so he's got some stuff besides this. uberfish can see it however and says there isn't much in the west. Quite a nice build-up, I have to admit I'm impressed given how many cities he has. BTW, I will never, ever sign a NAP in a PBEM game with someone ahead of me in the turn order. I have a big advantage over Amelia, and uberfish has a big advantage over me.

Oh...can anyone guess why I have so many Thanes of Kilmorph? I'll give two hints...I'm not spreading the relgion, and I am using them for two purposes.

1. Culture bombing captured cities out of revolt
2. Ummm....healing your stacks? Not sure why you wouldn't use Ritualists for this one, though.

1. Yeah, essentially. I am stealing Ilios's trick.
2. I will use Ritualists for that.

I should mention I settled seven cities over the last few turns.
