[spoiler]Mountainclimbing Elephants: Rowain plays Carthage Old and New

[Rowain]

it is some time since the last update but not much has changed.

Ichabod and yuris are still at war. I built the Forbidden Palace and command now 3 votes in the Council which should be enough to stop azzas wish to make his religion the world religion (gaining 2 more votes)

Those are some good looking demos

Well they are a bit pampered thanks to being in an golden Age .

Turn 131

A few turns ago I saw that Azza started the Leaning Tower (I was building the Forbidden Palace then). I knew I had a GE incoming. I configured the capital to complete the FP as fast as possible in fear that Azza takes a GE and rushes it - increasing his votes.

I completed FP and last turn I got my GE. I saw that Azza had not yet finished the Leaning Tower so I rushed it hoping that he won't finish it before me. He did not : ). The completion gave me a replacement GE which I used to rush the Taj Mahal this turn. Golden Age incoming

[MJW (ya that one)]

I don't think it's a coincidence that you are the one to update your thread regularly...

I reached industrial age via Industrialisation. I have coal inside my borders and 1 of my CS has coal already connected. Therefor my 3 best producers start to build factories.
It also start an election for the new host of the Congress. If yuri votes for me I become the new host. Otherwise Ichabod and Azza voting together can leave Azza as host.

I also completed Porcelain tower and used the free Scientist to learn Gunpowder and most of Chemistry. Scientific Theory is next on the menu and should complete at the same time my cap finishes its factory to start building Public Schools.

City 5 (Nova Carthage ) is founded across the lake and speeded up by a Cargo-ship full of hammers.

Ichabod voted for me and so I'm the new host. Ichabod also reached Industrious age (via fertilizer).

turn 157 AD 1660

Yuris who was the best techer some time ago managed somehow to not reach Arty or strong defenders . He got eaten by Ichabod during the last 8 turns including losing his capital.

Myself reached Artillery 2 turns ago and after some positioning declared war on Ichabod this turn. We will see if I manage to take him down a bit.

Sorry for the long wait but I only got the turn today morning and was too busy to post pictures then.
