That's what I found (and I ended turn teching Masonry) but now that I think about it I think we agreed on Order next?
On the other hand if you don't need Order at the moment Amelia we could skip it for now considering I don't think there's competition for it right now, but I'll leave that decision to you Amelia.
But anyway, this turn I finally get to use an adept. Needless to say, I sent an eye over the nearest fog area and found Team 1.
Interesting, that makes Team 2 on the S of the Donut then. I think we need to make sure we grab our fair share of the S since Team 2 are behind the growth curve, according to score anyway. Especially since Kurio's shouldn't expand anymore, nabaxo you'll need to focus on grabbing land to the south as well as the east.
I, meanwhile, need to grab as much of the north as I can before it's all gone. I'll be settling wheat, cow and 2 cotton next turn, and I'll also want to ensure I get the ivory to the west. That's probably where I'm expanding next.
Anyway, with trade we can see where we are tech wise against our two competitors:
Team 1:
We've got on them: Archery, Festivals, Hunting, FoL, KotE, Philo, Writing, Trade (2670)
They've got on us: BW, Masonry, Const, Warfare, RoK (1660)
Team 3:
We've got on them: Archery, Hunting, FoL, Writing, Trade (1830)
They've got on us: BW, Currency, Masonry, Const, OO, Warfare (2560)
It's... better then I expected. Our tech rate isn't bad at all. Team 1 are behind about 3-4 techs, which is expected given they have the Clan. Meanwhile Team 3 aren't as far ahead as I though, the only major surprise being that they have Currency.
OK, so tech rate is good. But we definitely need to expand more. We have about 20% total pop whereas Team 1 and 3 have about 30%, not good. We need to expand much faster then we currently are, so let's aim for 7-8 cities each for Amurites and Malakim by t120, ok?
