Things aren't looking too good. Elum took another 2 cities from Grimace, and razed one (or that could be a triple whip).
Grimace's response:
3/15/15 10:21 am Grimace Score decreased to 707
3/15/15 10:20 am Grimace Score decreased to 716
3/15/15 10:20 am Grimace Score decreased to 720
3/15/15 10:20 am Grimace Score decreased to 724

Elum takes another two cities.
...
Interturn: we get 3 buddhism spreads, 1 to the Marble city, 1 to Ecbatana, and 1 to Adrien's city just east of AP. CH gets a GS.

Yikes. I guess we just need to hope that absorbing Grimace's lands crashes Elum's economy for a while and gives us a chance to get back on par - albeit with significantly smaller land area.
I guess the only place we really want to hit Elum would be to bump him off Barbstralia (burn the city & replant 1N?). Pushing North seems a high-effort, low-yield strategy.
We also need to watch for him going Astronomy early; that would be the way to get to our back lines, since we really want to delay that as late as possible to preserve the Colossus.
Didn't have a chance to look in over the weekend; you still want input on Fillers, or will the big report cover that?

Pushing North seems a high-effort, low-yield strategy. We'll want to fork his Barbstralia and his southern coastal city with Triremes to cover. We may also have to try to burn Ecbatana and the other border cities just to slow him down, though chances are looking bad.

We lost tech vision because he got Courthouses up.

I'll make screenshots.

Swapped to Bureau.
Fillers, in order of higher priority to settle:
X and Y are both risky and shouldn't be settled until we push Elum off Barbstralia.
Either sugar or ph but not both.

The first two "filler" pictures are the same; I assume the first should be a look at the site S of Twisted Pair? Other than that, the next sites we should claim are Elum & Adrien's Barbstralian settlement IMO. Oh, did we settle NE of Wheat yet; I didn't spot a picture?
Do you want me to go in and clean up some of the signs at some point; looks like there's a lot of leftover spam.
I also spotted some Jungle tiles we can clear now (at 2.5"), and if we're not planning to plant on the Sugar soon we should Plantation that up for the Happy. (Keystone Jack is looking like it might need it soon!)
Compass for Harbours soon? Seemed like a few places would like the health, if nothing else.

Can clear them, just wasn't sure whether you wanted to keep some of them.

We have 5 workers working on the Jungle at that side. And...we don't have calendar yet

The boost to trade-route income would be good too. Hmm..I'd like to regain visibility on Elum's research first, because Guilds may be useful to hit Adrien's non coastal cities. If he's beelining Astronomy we'd have a problem.
Forgot to report last turn that Johns moved Axe + Swordsman to threaten Adrien's eastern Barbstralia city, and has taken it this turn.

We would like to have that city but now's not the time to fight johns for it. Don't intend to let john take the other two cities though, so a couple of cities are going to build HAs. Also turning on science for 2T Machinery it is we need our 'serkers if Adrien is going to start dying.
Misc: Elum got a GG.

Oh, and what do you think would be a fair price in gold for that city?

The game is no city trading, isn't it? Or are you thinking conquer then compensate?
