that's what the turn was about.

first:


good! Founding next turn.

second:


I moved in a little against Al. that's two spears and 1 axe on the northern tile and 1 axe + 1 spear on the southern one.
He has a WC and a worker on each of that jungle/forest tiles. If he finishes the road we can consider attacking his workers. If he retreats, alright. I'm not against him having a road to his southern city, but I don't see why it has to be on the border. It makes attacking a lot easier for him and I don't think that's acceptable.
He also has a WC at our city, which if he declares could cause some trouble, but the cities are both covered with a spear.



He doesn't look too scary anyways.

Cothons are starting all over the place next turn and I decided to reach for literature now. We can fit it in before the GA and it's good enough for just the epics (getting one more XP on that axe should be possible) even if we should miss on TGL. Right now we're saving gold but the scientists at TOS are producing some research. 100% research is awesome, it's just that our breakeven is far below 50% now, sucks not to be ORG.
We passed Mardoc in cities but are behind THH, who is already sending more settlers around, and Al. I hope Mardoc doesn't fall behind too much, we need him as a counterweight to our neighbours. At least he got good wonders.

Someone, presumably Al, got a GM. If my reading is right, everyone had his first GP by now.

news this turn, not too encouraging:
THH fired GA and is in caste / BUREAU now. Now I do feel behind, but what to do about it? Just wait for our own GA and build cothons meanwhile. At least THH's military attention is clearly focused towards Mardoc, and maybe we are the only ones on the Aesthetics route after all.

Al retreated for now, but that's a lot of military:


Right now we are not building military, just cothons (the first one at Pfeffi can finish next turn). I hope we can survive it. More troubling is the culture war. I made the (debatable) decision to go straight for a library in Perrier, hoping to whip it out at size 4, to give some actual cultural competition, also against THH. Thinking about it, it's probably better to whip a monument first, to preserve at least the first ring. Also, improve the road network to have better maneuverability.

In other news, Kiwi was founded in the east (forgot to take a screenshot) and already has its granary whipped.


Adrien, I don't know about today's evening, but at least tomorrow I'll be unable to play. Want to take it? I left some signs on the map, including an erroneous one (at Red Star it should be "whip monument" instead of "chop monument"... I don't think Al will allow us to chop that hill...
Also, we should start to connect our health resources. The deer on the island is on the way, the banana should also be considered.


Dreylin, any green thing proposals for city names? (To my shame I have to confess that we don't have a settler right now, not even planned, but at least we secured that NE peninsula I hope)

I'm not sure we're that far behind THH, we probably have IW/Compass ahead of him, and poly, while he probably beelined CS. What I don't like is that GA he got before us. Ok we already had one GS but now that we're in rep we should be using specialists a lot more. When is our GA going to start ?
I can try to play some turns, tomorrow might have to wait until early afternoon. Tonight I'm not sure I can make it.

GS at TOS is due in 9 turns. possible to speed it up a little with a heavily whipped market but... nah. I like a cothon more.
No hurry to play that turns. Tomorrow THH is at church so we normally only get 1t out anyways.

Malachite.
Verdigris.
District Line. (London Tube)
Turtle.
Could also use the potentially confusing "Forest" and "Jungle".
