Figures.
Everything is going to plan. Archer will complete EoT, chop will come in when i login next turn into the library and the following turn it can be whipped. My other worker will start a road se of its current location and then has other things it needs to do.
Probably looking at 15t or so till currency, but i should be golden once i get it. So long as i dont get jumped
Next turn i believe i get commodores graphs, so it will be nice to see how the power graph looks.

probably going to be a bunch of pics today, ill just spoiler those.
Ive got a couple things popping EoT, an axe and a WC. That will help boost my power a bit more. GNP im fixing by running scientists where i can, and building lots of FIN cottages for the capital + new city to work. I expect to have currency in 15t or so. 20t if i have to build an excessive amount of units which could end up happening. Using my first GS for bulbing alpha to build some research to get currency finished is a likely scenario.
I apparently forgot to screenshot a picture of it... but Commodore has another spear walking towards Blackburrow. I assume this is going to be joined by either a chariot, or a axe or MORE soon. So i evacuated my axe from potential chariot spots. I have 2 WC's from the capital area that can reinforce the Commodore front when/if needed. In two turns i pop borders in Blackburrow and that should give me enough warning to make an attack there basically worthless. It is also working an archer this turn, and probably the next too so that it can whip it in emergency down the road.
Speaking of the screenshot above, Chum can declare war on the first ( or 2nd if he waits long enough ) part of t90. I suspect he has SOMETHING in the fog, as his power has been rising steadly. I suspect alot of spear/axe mix plus some annoying chariots. At least until he finishes HBR, which he was working on last i could tell. Until cats, i should be safe from losing any city unless i get my usual shit luck.

Short term, is try and get peace with SOMEONE. Dont care if its Commodore, or Chum. Not likely to get it from either, but ill accept it from either..
Long term, Use my superior production/land advantage to crush chum with cats+WC's/axes. Not a great plan, but its about all i got right now. Feels like im stuck between Commodore and Gavagai long term anyway, so thats kinda shitty.

Running scientists everywhere i can spare, while still working cottages. Also having every worker that isnt doing war prep.. on cottage duty! Kinda forgot how fantasticly op fin cottages are especially on a river. I suspect ill have alpha in 13 turns, and currency in 18-20t dependent on what my friendly neighbors do. Im not out of this game yet! ( checked my 100% research capabilities and i am 3rd place! )
My 2nd GS will be an academy, because i NEED my first one to bulb alpha to get me some researchability. Although if i can tech currency pretty close to completion i might rethink.

Little ( lot ) late to start cottaging most of my land... but hey, It'l keep me in the game longer.
Looking back at how i played this, i think WAYYYY back to when i played on gamespy. Alot of choking to death, ( always being on the receiving end ) and that just wasnt fun for me. I do regret not doing it to chum when i had the huge advantage, but him being my dedlurker/partner in the pb41 bullshit where we got choked to death kinda made me not want to do it to him. Ill try and take him out this game, but with commodore poking me, its not going to be easy. I suspect chum is pretty close to HBR and that is going to put him on a level playing field with me and i dont like it. My best bet is to stomp whatever he throws at me between now, and when i get currency.. and then start razing cities of his. Starting with Tlatelolco. Might even poke commodore if i can get the spare units/maintenance figured out.
Im at this point conceding that im out of the running for the win, but i will be damned if i dont stay alive to the end. Im pegging DZ, Alhazard, or Gavagai as the winner of this game.

Tech path is Currency-mysticism for the monument happy- beeline to construction.

Although i just noticed it and Im not a huge stickler for these kinda things usually because in the past people have asked.. and its a partner/teammate but:
They have the 1st half of the timer currently. From my point of view this seems alot longer than just taking screenshots or logging in to pause. Ill trust that there wasnt any swapping of builds/ect but still would prefer a PM.

I War-peaced Chum, hoping he takes it of course. I also will be able to see if he has anything nearby due to a sentry WC i made.

Would suggest you mention that to them, or at least to Pindicator.
