[Spoiler] Back on the road, that you can build with workers, again

[Alhazard]

Im so far behind in tech but about to become 1st in score because of the all the food. Well need to start the GA in 2 turns to get rifling to protect myself first.

[Alhazard]

Well we will see if Thoth attacks next turn, which will definitely put me out. Still need to power up.

[Alhazard]

Ok I was seriously worried that Thoth was going to attack this turn after he finished his roads but I thought about it hard and he could have attacked by using both workers to road the same time. I think he has nothing better to do with those workers? But they could have started making windmills.



So Commodore, I heard you like big capitals. Will cottage the farm tile next turn and stagnate at size 16. I could windmill those hills but I like this configuration for now.



First GS from this city. Working a cottage next turn will prevent starvation.



GM from colossus city in 3 turns. I thought about building the Moai here but my cities can't really afford the health or happiness right now to grow larger. I did find another Moai city to build.



GA from this city for the 3rd GP to start the next Golden Age. After I took the pic, I changed an artist to a GE.











Now I think Khan/Cairo team really messed up by using their GE for the shrine and not the Kremlin. They are in caste and police state so seems like they don't care about it. I will try to build it but not having stone really messes things up. If only I can get a lucky GE.

2nd GA ended and finished Education with a lot of overflow beakers. Wish I didn't have to get Cavs but I might have no choice. The big deal is that I really really want the Krelimin and strangely, no one else seems to be interested? Hard with no stone so I might have to do a creative overflow cascade.

[Alhazard]

The grand strategy of getting Kremlin has problems because thoth is now researching liberalism. Also Khan is researching AL. The latter's reseach GNP is actually not that good but the production!

[Alhazard]

I cant believe the huge stacks Thoth and OH are fielding...

[Alhazard]

OH's team if you read this sorry I can't help you. I really dont want to war with Auro because his frigate can mess with my island holdings, and if I do war, it will be with Thoth whose culture is choking several of my cities. Cairo/Khan wanted my sugar for gems so I countered with sugar for gems and stone. Let's see if he is actually building the kremlin or the pentagon as I think.

[Alhazard]

Auro is now researching SM, but with the stone+gem for corn+sugar trade with Cairo, I should be able to get the Kremlin first.

[Old Harry]

Heh, I didn't think you were in a position to fight, I just wanted to be able to keep building Pikes! AI diplo conventions confuse me so much.

Good luck with the rest of the game.

[Alhazard]

Prediction. Thoth will win by culture unless Cairo and I gang up on this.
