Got it. And played.

The southwest keeps on going...



...as does the northwest.



I'm thinking that these are "land bridges" to bring us within easy galley distance from all our rivals.

We whipped a work boat in Investment, and both cities grew after ending turn.



Our cities are now size 4 and 2. Incredibly, we're 4th in crop yield. Our rivals have city sizes 3+2, 2+1, and... 35k total on the final two. That breaks down to 27 + 8 or 28 + 7, so someone founded a third city. But 28+7 is not possible since rival max is 27, so our rivals have city sizes 3+2, 3+2, 2+1 and 2+1+1.

I updated our micro plan to account for our increased maintenance. Great Lighthouse now due T39.

We have the save if you want to grab it...

OK, got it.

The end is nigh.





Demographics show that rival city sizes are 4-1, 3-2-1, 3-2 and 2-1-1.

Got it.

Opponent city count: 5-2, 4-3, 3-3-1, and 2-1-1.

Investment completes a work boat next turn. If we send him scouting in a northeastern direction, we should have a decent chance at getting circumnavigation. We need to circumnavigate E-W as well as N-S.

Got it.
