Quick update. Ichabod and Ruff are still at war, as are Scooter and Pindicator. No new cities have swapped ownership, but Pindicator's power is.... frightening.
Scooter teched Education (probably with at least one scientist help) and may be threatening the Liberalism race, which is good (make sure Pindicator can't sandbag). He'll also want his half-price Universities.
Over in my world, I used my prophet to kick off a golden age and revolted to Caste and Pacifism. Goal is to create a scientist (for an Academy) + 2 non-matching GPs for a 2nd golden age (to possibly be done soon afterwards or maybe in 10-15 turns).
I'll have University of Sankore done in 5t, as well as Education. Plan is to save gold after Education waiting for the Academy + Oxford. I do need to figure out which cities I will put the Unis in (as well as how many Universities I need at this map size). Ideally I can build Oxford towards the beginning of my golden age, then turn tech back on with the Bureauacademoxford goodness
I still feel behind, but (to again answer Commodore's question), at least a little better. I'm keeping up okay in land / pop, but it's just sobering to look at the beaker counts:
Pindicator: 17841
Scooter: 14014
me: 9261
