Played turn 14. Now you might think turn 14 is always going to be boring, but there was stuff happening this turn.
Contrary to what Gaspar said, I do not believe Serdoa saw any part of our borders. Every tile he revealed last turn was conveniently two tiles away from our borders, so we could not be seen through the bleed. And this turn he moved south, consistent with his previously shown undesire to reveal people's capitals.
OK, so we haven't found any stone but we did find grass hill gold. This is not a normally occurring tile and it is extremely valuable. So we'll definitely be looking to claim this area in the not too distant future.
You can also see that we are teching Bronze Working. And there are multiple signs to remind us to swap back to Hunting next turn. Now why is this? Ten thousand internet points, cookies, or energy credits (of the SMAC kind) to the lurker who figures it out. Winner's choice of reward. Ten thousand energy is enough to hurry production on multiple secret projects!
SD did finish BW in line with my adjusted prediction. Total power went up 10k, and BW is 8k, so there is another 2k. That means Lewwyn probably got Hunting, as Mining is likely a bit too expensive for him to tech in 5 turns. We also got graphs on SD at EOT, which are generally uninteresting as you might expect, but I might post them later if there is information to glean about what tiles he was working. We will need to check our EPs every turn with him for a while to maintain graphs but also spend the minimum amount. Hopefully he will notice the EP situation soon and spend some points on Serdoa. Or not, if he is planning to axe rush us.
