The Second Korean War: THH duels Ruff_Hi

THH wins the idiot of the game award:
 Well, I was the one worried about barbarians unbalancing the game. I guess it's only fair it didn't happen in my favour.
What news?
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
In progress: Rimworld
Sorry Harry; apparently I haven't checked this forum in too long. The game's been continuing at a slow-to-moderate pace. It's just past the AD mark. There's been only minor action; I sniped a worker, we traded units over a barb city it turned out we both wanted razed. I've maintained a consistent "safety margin" in power, which is good because that's been a weakness of mine early in other games, and what seems to me a quite healthy lead in crop yield, while Ruff has been leading proportionately in GNP and MfG. Ruff used his Stonehenge prophet for the Buddhist shrine and recently built the Oracle and Great Wall. I built the Pyramids and was apparently first to Code of Laws, if that means anything, because I founded Confucianism. But now I think I've overexpanded, because my economy's tanked; that plus the shrine plus the Oracle is going to give him a healthy tech lead for some time to come. On the other hand, that means I have a lot of cities, which may be a good thing because that's also been a weakness of mine in other games, and I have the economic techs - and the Pyramids - with which to restore my economy. So we'll see what happens. I'll take an overview screenshot the next time I play.

I took some screenshots while playing the turn just now:
 This is the main part of my empire where I settled initially, P'yongyang - Pusan - Cheju & Hyangsan - P'yongsong - Ulsan - Paegam IIRC. Pusan grabbed the most food, Cheju and Hyangsan shared off it and grabbed other important resources, P'yongsong was for a border with Ruff and the gold, but was settled too soon when I couldn't get a work boat onto the crabs (  ), Ulsan was, I dunno, another city, and Paegam is where the Moai Statues will hopefully go soon. This is the southwestern area where I settled recently (the last few turns), Man'po - Chonju - Sariwon. After expanding so much to the east, I felt the need to rush into this relatively lush area before Ruff could. I had hoped to capture the barb city you see in ruins 1W of Sariwon some time ago, but in a feat of incredible stupidity forgot the rule about auto-razing at size one ( ). You can also see the second city ruin 1NE of Chonju where Ruff and I clashed a short while ago. To my surprise, he razed the city, which is what I would have done also, and my settlers arrived fast enough to secure the area (for now), not that he was necessarily even heading for it. Most of my military and labour force is in this region.You can also see there what I just confirmed to be an island that should grant intercontinental trade routes. I will have to see if the economic benefit therefrom will justify settling there immediately instead of waiting to recover my economy conventionally. Here's a better view of "the land between":  As you can see the map has some odd contours. Finally, here are the demographics and graphs (I forgot to take a screenshot of the tech screen):      Is there anything else anyone would like to see or know? |
