Taking on two PBEMs at once is ambitious - hope you're enjoying both. Looking forwards to the catch up reports.

In the upcoming reports it was extremely difficult to remember what each change in score actually signified. Also I did not save complete information and was second guessing my entries. The score should be viewed as a close approximation of the actual situation. My turn 58 has everything up to date.

Turn (50)

Score, Rankings, and Great People Race

I found city #3 in the nice bay area south of Bastion.

I thought I had taken better screen shots, turns out this was the best one I could find. I was just short the 75 Icon_Gold

needed to buy the encampment tile I wanted so I put a turn into a granary (I think). Still in Ilkum for the next 2 turns until the early empire switch.

Scouting reports from the east

Moved my scout across the river to avoid any aggressive moves from the Zanzibarian army, and promptly declared war to reset the quest in 10 turns. Settler view did not show anything new in the limited view of the scout.

As for the south

I have come across the borders of Persia's second city. It will have access to some oranges soon.

Scouting in the south showed me much more of Alhambram's land.

This was a risky move, and like many of the other moves I hastely made during these 10 or so turns proved to be a horrible decision. With that said my eastern scout headed, well south...

Just some mountains and trees. The Zanzibarian country side looks lovely. While on the topic of great territory the expanding Polish Empire now looks like...

My new city needed a name, and that was not the one I end up settling on. For now cotton crab city has enough to purchase the encampment tile and work starts on that. I have both of my warriors in the area In case barbs come into view and my archer is off exploring the peninsula south of where I destroyed the barb camp. Jess has been working on a settler the last 2 turns in preparation of the settler card switch next turn when early empire is in. Also bastion will finish its builder and can start on a settler as well.

Once again my screenshots from this rushed period in Polish history, are few and not very helpful. (This time period from from turn 45 to turn 58 will now be known as the "Over cooked kielbasa times" due to how poorly the empire was managed) Still I'll post them as it shows the culture change that the current regime is struggling to correct.

Both warriors head north. One is guarding my newly created builder, the other is going up that way just in case of barb activity. My builder around Jess I moving to mine the iron just south of the city.

The big news comes in from scouting, again sorry about the pictures but in the east

That was the only shot of the area. I got Early Empire finished as well as the inspiration for defensive tactics. shakehead

Who declared war on the peaceful Polacks of northern flat earth?

SNEAKY PERSIAN'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yikes

When I started the turn in this area, my scout had very little HP left and was completely locked in zone of control from Alhambrams army. There was a warrior, scout and an archer so my scout was dead next turn regardless. The Military success rate thingy that shows up when I hover an attack over a unit showed there was a very small chance of my scout beating the Nasty Persian one so I just attacked, figured best not to give his warrior or archer any more exp. Looking back this was a horrible move. There was no reason not to attack me there, other than now he has an enemy for life. I have no intention of letting him get another +2 movement.

The screenshot I have for this turn are some what mixed. First thing to note is that I completely forgot to switch my civics last turn, so Bastion is building a barracks and Jess swapped to a builder. Rose (my third city, the Capital suggested that I name it that) is still building an encampment. Second up is I finally met Suboptimal the leader of the Aussies!

Judging by his score he is doing very well. Seems those early wars helped him out significantly.

He has horseman, and my scout can see the borders of one of his cities, also looks like there is another city directly south of my scout. As long as we stay friends I should be safe compared to Persia, Suboptimal actually wants me to declare on him, so I do not think I am in much danger.

In other news my archer that is on a recon mission has found some islands off the coast

There may be untapped city states there, I would like Rose to get a galley out at some point in the future.

Finally I had a strategic view screenshot saved. I may have intended to assess the Persia situation, however I do not have any notes but I will post it Any ways.

Archduke and Suboptimal are getting ahead by a bit in score. I do not make any choices that help me in this matter...... shakehead

Here is a shot of the new city that Alhambram has founded. He will be able to get some ships at some point, I do not have enough info on the east to know if either Archduke or Suboptimal have coastal cities.

A close up of Zanzibar, I had been meaning to check this city state screen for the past few turns, only to miss it every time. TheArchduke is the only one with an envoy so the quest must not be an easy one for Suboptimal.

My only scout has confirmed the spot of two Aussie city's

He has tons of oranges, maybe after I get a second luxury he would be willing to trade.

To end the area around Jess

Each city continues to build what they were building last turn. Found a barb scout up in the north. My archer is heading home to inevitably end up around Rose.

Yes, I have not had much issue until the Holiday's came up. Mainly wanted to take some time off of work, which means that others wanted to take off the days I did not. Just really busy, however I have gotten all of my shopping done, and I have two 5 day vacations, so I work thurs / fri this week and the first week in January.

I am having a really fun time playing these games. The whole point was that I would have almost unlimited time to plan each turn, problem is I think I should have held the turn longer and took my time, instead of just try to push it forward.

I am trying to write the reports with the mindset I was in that turn, not with the info I have now so it is a bit tough. Either way these dark times for Poland should be at an end.

At this point I was starting to get worried about my culture output. There was nothing I could do about it though so I just continued on. My score was still in the middle of the pack.

Only screen shots I have of this turn come from the scouting and fog area around Persia.

Getting a better view of one of Suboptimals cities. He went with a back line tundra spot, which I am sure he has his reasons, I am not sure why he chose there though.

The land between Alhambram and I is starting to fill up. I am having a hard time debating on scouting that area as getting caught out would not be ideal.

Turn 56

I have no information from this turn other than one screen shot.

It shows the area around Jess after I chopped a forest for bastion.

The archer off to the east is heading back to be useful, while my warrior is hunting barbs. 2 turns until my builder, barracks, horseback riding and state workforce finish. In the south you can see my warrior escorting a builder to grab the cotton and chop the forest for Rose.

Turn (57)

I have no exported table for this turn as well. I did find out the issues with my screenshots on turn 59. I take screenshots in 4k so they are 32MB a piece. I then move them to a working directory on my bigger SSD were I convert them to jpeg's and keep the original. This caused my c drive to fill up (32MB x 100's of pictures) so I ended up deleting the ones from my c drive. This caused CIV 6 to start over with the numbering scheme and I was not overwriting the files during this turn. My mistake, now that I have a fix this should no longer be an issue.

On turn 56 or 57 TheArchduke over took me in the great general area. With one turn until I can swap governments and my barracks finishing I did not think much of it on this turn.

News in foreign lands has not shown an increase in city defense in Alhambram. This is very good news as once his score increases there is a good chance he will be headed my way. Aussie lands did not reveal much during this time, suboptimal has currency researched and I saw some commerce districts placed.
