I'd go for the faster one if we can use it. I... probably won't get a look at the save any time soon. I've been very busy at work and it hasn't left me a lot of free time. Sorry. No worries. Not sure what to do with a GS myself...it's not like we have any really good commerce city at present.

Guangzhou can be the target of naval attacks from both DTG and Khan, so having (what should be) informal NAPs with them is useful as it means that we can focus on Alhazard and LT.

DTG has got another city out...
At least we have 2 cities churning out IMP Settler so we should catch up, I guess? Not really taking this game that seriously so if DTG is going to have micro plans upon micro plans he'll beat us all on that front.
And I'm hoping Khan or LT will build the Oracle soon...would be quite bad if DTG slingshotted something with it.

Well, if winning the game is no longer a viable goal, then... who do we kill???? 
We could make it our holy quest to fight DTG just to give the others a fighting chance. That may not be terribly sporting, I suppose, but it's an option. However, it would make more sense to pick on someone weaker just to give ourselves a better chance. Of course, I doubt we'll want to be going to war any time soon while there's still so much unclaimed land out there.

After the earlier post I spotted a DTG Settler near the spots N of our NW city. Bah. I whipped our settler build in that city but it should be too slow if he intends grab one of them. The upside is that it shouldn't be very defensible for him if we really want to fight him for it.
But so much land east, and frankly I'd rather priorities settling crucial spots to counter Alhazard (greatest short to medium term threat in terms of safety) and LT (to invade around knights era).

Well, something like that is a reason I wanted to prioritize the north. It was more a strategic goal in my eyes, securing an important spot and perhaps shutting the others out of a bit of land. If you do think it's worth fighting over, better to do it sooner rather than later, when the city will have higher cultural defenses and more units defending it.

Mm, it was probably a mistake by me not to grab that spot. As to fighting, we're 3rd in power and yet most our troops are stretched to offer reasonable-ish amount of defense because we basically only have one back-line city at present.
It does feel a bit hopeless against DTG, but if we're going for Holy War I'd rather do it when we have CKNs and not now when he can easily get Praets and we have no good counter. So I guess we continue biding our time..

Oh yes. We get our ICTR city founded next turn. I suppose I should ask Alhazard and Khan for gpt for OB?

Pay them for OB, or ask for money for OB? Did they refuse straight OB before?
