Too often I have gotten Education and then done absolutely nothing with it for ages (although half the time I did get Liberalism). PP is an undeniably good tech and I would get it sooner if possible. In related news, I think it's rather dubious to be farming over those villages in that screenshot... Pindicator posted a shot of what Red Wings might look like in its final config in post 1533, mentioning if it kept the cottages it would be at -1 food. I guess he wanted to workshop the last unimproved plains tile(?). What would you farm/windmill instead of losing the villages(s)?
In unrelated news, for a minute I thought the city you named Nets was actually The (Winnipeg) Jets, which would still have been apropos. Maybe if you take a city that had been previously captured at least once previously, him?

Well I don't know which city is working what tiles in that screenshot and I don't care to figure it out. I would just windmill those mines if needed though, and there's always SP later. You can also do a timeshare on the wheat to get to breakeven food overall.

That would be Red Wings in post 1533; the link takes you to the top of the right page, IIRC it's a couple posts down, but it's the only city screen of Red Wings. You can probably discuss it with Pindicator in your next chat anyway.

I missed that it was in the middle of the post and not the beginning of the post for some reason. Anyway, I'd just give the southwest workshop to Orioles.

Yeah, I don't know how long those signs have been up, and I don't know if we'd ever farm over them now because it's always been "when they're out of more important things to do" but now we've gone and added 10 cities to our empire. It's probably best to do as we've been doing now: alternate the wheat based on who's growing, then come Biology or Communism we'll be able to grow some more there.
It also makes me loathe to starve Red Wings for the GP at all, simply because it won't be easy to get that population back.

I think we're also having food issues at Orioles, but this sounds like a great opportunity to recap all our cities and what they're doing

There is some remaining jungle at Orioles that can be turned into farms to alleviate that problem.

I'd be interested in seeing whether pind/scoot rank themselves in first place, or second behind mackoti.

Right this minute, I think I rank us 2nd place. But the margin is far, far more narrow than I imagined it could possibly be by T150. And with the discovery of more islands, we might actually have a real shot at being ranked #1 when T175 rolls around.
I'm strongly against counting unhatched chickens, and I think some degree of pessimism is good, but that's my honest opinion of our current status. I do believe right this minute we are a couple notches up on dtay and Plako, so I don't think there's any way pindicator ranks us 3rd. Things can change quickly though. Plako still has Dhalphir ripe for consuming, for instance.
