[spoiler] Q: Why am I even here? A: To find bugs!

[Charriu]

Yes it's off by one turn and needs to sync up to the scoreboard. I was also surprised, because of the unaltered part of BUG.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... my LG internal dvd player just died on me.  Cost me $44.48 back on Nov 28, 2015.  Dang, the return window closed Dec 20, 2015 ... missed it by that much.

If you click on the 'buy again' button, you get a link to one I just purchased.

[Ruff_Hi]

I will be coming back to this screen again and again over the next few turns.

Alphabet landed.  I can't see what others are teching ... have teched, can tech.  Is that right?  I will have to fire up standard Civ IV BtS to refresh my memory.

OBs offered to Mr C ... will not finish my turn until I can see his answer.

I will be losing those tiles ... as I believe I have figured out SD's game plan ...

Poll: (spoilers) Trying something new

I think he is playing a builder game.  His version of 'something new'.

Founders Gone added 7 culture.  Cardassia Prime 9.  Both healthy chunks.

But Wisconsin added 17.  17!  That has to be Stonehenge and (given the below) probably The Pyramids too.

And you can see FT and Mr C together in power ... but not anymore ... FT continues to increase his power.

Edit: Both the Great Light House and Hanging Gardens are CornFlakes ... both in the same city and that city hit the top 5 this turn.

No ... this isn't default BtS ...

Mr C has finally turned up to play his turn.  I am logging in now.

Do I have OB with Mr C??

Edit: I do!  Oh ... and, btw, SD has OB with FT, Elkad and Miguelito.

[Ruff_Hi]

Spy heading to SD land ... I will get to see his road layout and how well I have guessed on his city placement.

Trade routes went from 28 (7 x 2 x 2) to 33 - pretty small increase of only 5.  I am betting that Mr C got more than that.

Saving coin for a run at Horse Riding and Iron Working.

Here is what I can see (so far) of Mr C's land.  He only had one way to expand too ... west.

[Ruff_Hi]

Not much to report ...
- a Great Scientist spawned somewhere
- FT asked for OBs (declined)
- exploring in Mr C territory
- spy heading into SD land
- tech on horse riding at 0%
- 2 turns to my own Great Scientist

I found Commodore.  13 cities ... oh boy.  EP on Commodore to get his charts.

I also requested OBs from Commodore and FT.

Here is Mr C's land ... all of his cities.

These blind spies are pretty funny ...

A busy day ... 3rd turn for me.

New city on Gem Island.  New Science Academy in the Capital.  New tech next turn ... and now that I have 8 cities, I will take a run at that quest.

OB with FT and Commodore pushed trade from 33 to 41.

Oh ... and that farmed wheat that India had right next to one of their cities ... it is now mine.  And I don't even have a city that can work it.  That really old Indian city hasn't even bothered to pop a border.
