[SPOILERS] Don't mention the war

[plako]

T109 arrived and I played without much going on. I've canceled the NAP with Serdoa couple of turns ago so it ends on T120. After that he should only have secure border with TMIT. I'll need serious defenders on the bordering cities. However full attack shouldn't be an option for him. He might threaten the border cities, but, if he initiates full attack he'll expose himself in other borders.

Mackoti is again playing a very well. He has catched up rest of the crowd via bulbing Education and PP and now he'll get a huge pile of gold from me during the next 7-8T. I still think I'm in better position, but he is clearly #2. Serdoa's star will fall one way of the other during the next 20 turns and WK just isn't playing as well as Mackoti. TMIT is clearly in last position with weakest economy and smallest cities.

T110

These forums are in frustrating shape - lost yet another post. Oh well. I finished Machinery and alpha will be next so that I can bulb Printing Press in case I get Scientist in couple of turns (should be ~80% chance). UoS is ours too. Nothing too great. I've 8 buildings that gets the bonus so after multipliers that probably means ~20 beakers/turn and I've some kind of incentive to build my cheap temples now.

I also have finally Heroic Epic under construction. The site is great, but I should have built it at lesser site way sooner.

TMIT isn't really valuing culture much. I've temporarily stolen his bananas in the south right beside his city.

What about the AP?

Serdoa built it so hammer bonus goes to buddhist buildings.

T111

Got Alpha so here is the current tech screen. Serdoa lacks Construction (not visible in the picture) and TMIT has beelined to Gunpowder to enable Janissaries. Not sure where he intends using them. He needs couple of extra techs to Draft them.

Also Serdoa finished annoying Sistine's chapel. I think I'll convert to Free speech next turn to fight back. Economically it is clsoe with Bureacracy and I would only lose the capital hammers. Not sure if I should take also Pacifism.

Erm shouldn't you have researched Calendar by now? Although it seems you don't have any Calendar resources besides that banana...do you have silk or dye somewhere?

Haven't been worth it so far. I don't need happiness so it would provide 2 food more from Bananas and 4 commerce more from 2 spices.
