Wow, impressive.
Some thoughts as I read through this:
Heliopolis already has a Forge and that Copper tile, I think it'll be better as a hammer city with some extra commerce from the cottaged floodplains.
Alexandria probably doesn't need to grow past 5, while working the Gold, desert hill, and the (soon to be, I hope) quarried Marble. That's enough hammers to make Catapults at a decent rate.
That's a nice Moai city.
Buto is amazing.
And I agree, MJMD is the target.
What does your tech path look like?

Construction-HBR to start makking cats/elephants. Then probably go towards Optics-Astro?

Saving gold. Building an army. If i can get Mjmd spooked enough.. (because i have alphabet hue hue..) into also building military, i will outstrip him GNP wise and get to optics far ahead of him, taking his islands by force, and maybe just maybe... i have a plan for the border cities..

Well, before this war.. i was thinking Jowy-Amicalola-Mjmd/Myself-Civic---------GKC. Now?
Everything stays the same, but myself and Mjmd are going to be at the GKC levels of not winning this game. WHY?
Mjmd attacked me with a stack of axes + like 1 cat. Past turn 100.. Past t120.. (and razed a city that was only marginally okay to begin with, and is looking at another city that is 100% mine compared to his obnoxious plant more on that next post) SO... I guess we both are going down.
Besides the point that we both were obviously NEEDING to attack each other.. Doing so now just makes it so neither of us win while Amica gets to tech, Civic probably wont care about Amica and will focus on Jowy not eating and DESTROYING GKC. .. So yay?

Situation now is put the knife into Amicalola's back. Hope that Civic/Laz stay at war and we raze a bunch of Amica core cities with a galley strike force in like 10-15t while a massive land army cuts off Amica's retreat

He got the weak city on the amica border, tried to get our city on the Jowy border found that it was defended and backed off. Gave us a 100g tip. He turned and is attacking GKC now, so i expected GKC to fold from just Jowy attacking, with MJMD its lights out in no time. Amica is running away tech wise and Civic/laz cant take a loss of a couple cities and be any kind of help later, so got to help them out now.

Tech situation is basically hopeless at this point. Only Jowy/Amica (and MAYYYBE Mjmd) can win from here. GKC played this game using only his feet i feel. I apparently chose the wrong civ/leader for the map... AGAIN. Which has pissed me off repeatedly now. Next pitboss i play in, im going random/random. Civac/Laz i guess failed to see Amica's rise to power and didnt build any troops forever so they got slapped, and only reason they arent facing the Rome situation now is i declared on Amica and that has halted him from doing anything.
EXCEPT... apparently putting a large chunk of EP into me which i was not prepared for. Im hoping he cant see everything already.. SO ive dumped as much EP into him as i can to hopefully keep my fun little surprise... a surprise.
Defensive/offensive/decoy.
Jowy is punching thru GKC here.. Doubling in city count over GKC. Also Amica has been able to apparently spread EVERYWHERE just like Mjmd and got lucky that their neighbors apparently didnt settle the chokepoints fast enough/islands ect. (me with the other inner island with mjmd and mjmd rushing that damn jungle/gems city)
Mjmd is hitting Rome from the north/west and GKC never got to Construction so you can tell how this is going to go. I can ONLY HOPE that Jowy/mjmd dont become besties and fight afterwords.
Hey, im #1 in a category!
Ignore the yellow in the rest of these graphs.
Fun times ahead... maybe?
