Looks like it's down to Jowy or Serdoa.
I was going for Music - when I started up the path, no one had aesthetics. I decided to go drama and now someone has literature, so I presume that is Serdoa or Jowy. One of them will get the Music GA.
Serdoa has LB and someone has machinery - I sort of assume Jowy, since he also has civil service.
My attack on Tarkeel did not really work out very well.

I got the music GA  I had to do a lot of wealth to get it (well, i don't know if snaked it from someone else) I get another GP in a couple of turns out of Roy.
Jowy is ramping up power. I'm settling more crap cities.
Drama is letting me build cheap theaters, which will help in border clashes against, say, Tarkeel 
I'm thinking of going most of the way to CS and then kicking off a GA to pick up bureau and then HR and probably feudalism. Someone is picking up knight soon and praets are good, but not really proof against knights.

Roy popped out a GM. I picked up lit and I'm 2 turning alphabet then bulbing CS (or at least as much as I can) and kicking off a GA to switch into bureau, then zoom up to monarchy and maybe theology, I dunno.

Got Alphabet, bulbed CS, popped off a GA and switched to bureau. Running up to Monarchy, not sure what is after that.
Roy is building the glib, which isn't great, but it will either fail or give me solid GPP for awhile (10/turn with the forum) Have to figure out what I get after monarchy. I think going machinery to optics , maybe straight to astro after that. Lots of water, so picking up galleons might really help. Oh - galleons require paper as well. I had forgotten that.

1 turning my way through religious techs is nice!! priesthood last turn, monarchy this turn.
I'll do a bigger screen dump next turn, because i'm sure everyone wants to know everything about how I'm doing

Jowy's eating Ruff, which is unfortunate. A bunch of people have optics. I get machinery next turn and then go for optics.

It looks like Jowy's winning this game. He's hitting Ruff with somehting like 40 knights and has a followup stack with about 20 cats and some maces. Ruff doesn;'t have LB, though does have xbows.

I guess no circumnav bonus on a toroidal map? I got optics, but no extra trade route.
Ruff should be able to slow down the conquest - he doesnt' have LB, but he does have pikes, which means he can also whip castles if he wants. Jowy can still take him, but it should cost him.

You get it one turn later apparently. This is a difference between SP and MP that I haven't known about so far. Some players suggested this was also the case before my Optics change. Still waiting for somebody to confirm that.
There is a circumnav bonus on toroidal, but there you need to circumnavigate in both axis.

I'm not sure about that. In SP you complete circumnavigation and only get the bonus movement the following turn. The message also only appears in the log the following turn though I don't know with which date. This was similar to PB 55 where I think I got trade routes the turn after a tile was uncovered in every column. However, I suspect this is only the check for circumnavigation running at the start of the turn and not otherwise.
Trade routes have this issue in other situations as well where you only get them a turn after conditions are met (cf. connecting a city with a road). You could try to have the game recalculate trade routes after researching Optics by accepting Open Borders with someone and see what happens.
