[SPOILERS] Laconic plakonic

[plako]

Peace secured with WilliamLP and I hope for ~30T peaceful period to really get the new land consolidated. William's army is pretty scary for an attacker that doesn't have significant military tech advantage (cavs will tear any Cannon stack apart). I'll probably need Tanks before I can even consider attacking. That is some 30T away. My midlle term goals are Combustion+Artillery. I'll finish Consitution and possibly Corporation 1st though to maximise the known-civ bonuses that start to be pretty significant. Had to consider also Liberalism since some of the civics it provides could be useful to adopt during GA, but I need to decide if they make big enough difference to compensate the tech costs.

Scooter got 2 GGs and changed his login name to "Poked Vikings" so I guess there were some big battles there.

Domestically I'm preparing for GA coming in 5T. I'll probably take Liberalism after Railroad before starting GA so that I can adopt also Environementalism and Fee Religion in the beginnning of GA.

Scooter lost another border city to Lewwyn. That probably makes me target for Mackoti aggression after the finishes up Artillery and Combustion. I'll try to manage with Machine Guns in the cities until I can reach Destroyers too. That will be very hard spot though. I've ~50 costal cities.

What do the numbers above your cities mean?
Also what's the purpose of building macemen?

Numbers are helping when counting Financial benefits. Maces upgrade to MGs.

T228 Trait comparison. Things will change next turn when I launch my GA and switch civics + probably work more specialists (i.e. ORG will get better and FIN weaker):

Fin 271 cpt (Working plenty of coast at the moment)
Org 229 gpt
Agr 210 gpt

Inflation is 49% at the moment. I've still very few courthouses. I've no idea concerning my nationwide gold/science multipliers. The real value of that 271 is probably somewhere between 350-400 gpt.

T212 - Trait comparison time. It is quite a while from previous counting.

Fin 210 cpt
Org 179 gpt
Agr 158 gpt

How do you rate your chances to win now?

How do you rate your chances to win now?

Under 10%. My position is very fragile at the moment. Mackoti has soon destroyers/transporters and I've nothing to stop them for another ~7-8T. I'm just hoping he will choose someone else as target. On the other hand, if he attacks he would be taking a serious risk of giving the game away to someone else. I'm one of his best sources of trade routes and my goal might end up being hurting him, if he ruins my game. I surely would have tools to make him pay.
