ummm ... I just realized that the New York plan has to be wrong. I have it hitting size 11 T187, but clearly it's already growing to size 11 in your T182 screenshot Time to recalculate.

Good News! We don't even have to starve New York now I didn't repost "the plan" but the picture above has been updated.

New York will grow up to size 12. It can safely take either the plains farm or the water tile 1W of Stone from Maracaibo (which I suspect Maracaibo isn't even working since she isn't coastal for lighthouse). Both those tiles have +2 food and so do not affect my calculation. We'll only spend one turn at size 12 though before working a few specialists. Until we hit size 12 all pop need to be working crabs/sugar/+2 food tiles

EOT screenshot:



We hit Size 12 T186, but it looks like the food numbers might be off. Give me a sec...

EDIT: Crosspost. So that's why I was looking at 'the plan' and thought 'wait, those numbers look right!'

I just screenshot excel and copy into paint. It's easier to just cut out the section and line up the paste than save and upload a new picture (plus it avoids confusion if you can read off of any of the pictures correctly).

For planning purposes it's useful to mouse-over the the food bar in the screenshots so that I can confirm food-in-the-box is correct. As long as we don't work any 1-food tiles or specialists ahead of schedule we should be fine though. On any give turn, the highlighted food number in the plan should match the food in the box before we end turn.

Gillette accepted the Rice/10 gpt deal. Santiago stole two of Havana's grassland towns.

Everything's going swimmingly. We are no more or less screwed than before.

Rejuggled Havana and Santiago:






We swap back the Deer to Havana after Santiago's grown, right?

It boggles the mind that we have been playing this one game of civ for an entire year. I regret nothing, though.

[Cornflakes]

I think we want to grow Santiago to it's maximum reach of cottages and put an Academy here (stealing cottages from San Juan and Maracaibo). We can end up food neutral with the 2 plains cottages and swap the deer back to Havana.

Democracy came in EOT, but by the time the Statue of Liberty completes the Communist Trolls will have launched their spaceship:



Or whack it out with a GE, either or. Next is Economics for the extra trade route, yes? Will re-check the plan later.

We are allowed to swap next turn. These are the planned civics, right? Just so I don't screw this up like I did Bureaucracy...



The tech situation is not getting better:

[Cornflakes]

Civics look ok. Can you confirm that the swap will take place before end of turn 187?

Replaceable parts from M3 is worrisome. We need to start talking now about extending our NAP beyond T200.

[thestick]

Last night I had a dream. Someone from the east/southeast (Qgqqqqq?) broke the NAP and attacked us with a gazillion Knights. I couldn't help but think that our empire was doomed.

M3 still haven't responded to the border plant proposal, not even a 'we don't think that's a good idea.' Mail off an extension to T220?

I think we should give San Juan the Deer back so that we can two-pop whip things to speed up construction.
