[Spoilers] Pericles of the Graeco-Mayans

Mm... Money.

All your cities on wealth and you still can't research at 100%? :-)

Has confu been founded?

[Sylon]

Not all of them, just those with the basic infrastructure in place. And 80% is quite a lot considering maintenance costs.

Confucianism has not been founded yet, but I suspect I won't make it. We'll see.

Leave the cities on wealth until COL is done, then swap them off to finish whatever they were building or build courthouses. Dont whip　Sparte or athenai. Everything else is fine.　tech path is col-calendar-construction.

I`ll leave the rest of the decisions (worker micro etc) to you. Thanks for volunteering. I won`t be able to respond until 6-8 days` time.

First turn of taking over in the books, only thing to report is a barb spear appearing to the South of Thessaloniki. That is about the worst barb possible, as all there is is chariots. If the spear comes toward Thessaloniki (instead of towar Kodii, which would be awesome) I'll be forced to switch it off wealth to get hammers in an axe which I will then have to whip. Unfortunate, but really have no choice if it is coming toward the city.

Not much to report for the second turn I played. Only important things to note were that Buddhism has spread to us (I did not revolt, especially considering we are 1 turn from landing Confucianism), that Kodii adopted Hereditary Rule, and that a great scientist was born in CIPMAC.

Pretty quiet on the home front. Only real decisions were worker micro. I decided while all the cities were on wealth that the best worker micro would be to hook up the Wonderland city. Doing so helps both in terms of military and also allows us to get the gold hooked up to the rest of our empire, which should save 3 unhappy citizens immediately.

For t99 I switched three cities off wealth to what they were building before, as CoL was able to complete at 40% research and thus not as many cities were needed on wealth. After ending turn, we founded Confucianism...in Rhodos (how cruel that Confucianism is founded in the only island city).

Did you consider trying to manipulate where Confucianism would be founded?

[Shoot the Moon]

Sylon, where are you? You said you would be gone 6-8 days ... 10 days ago.

[Shoot the Moon]

Did you consider trying to manipulate where Confucianism would be founded?

To my knowledge, isn't it mostly based on the amount of culture in a city, but then slightly random anyway (with a strong extra bias away from your capital)? At least in my understanding of the mechanics, it would have been rather hard for me to manipulate it seeing as I've only been playing for three turns.
