Seeing the prior post after playing my turn I'll take the honorary win and concede. Here's my turn report as written before I got here.
Turn 200
Start out by hitting Al for another 42 points off the walls. The garrison is at 177/200 so won’t quite fully heal during the barbarians’ turn.
Over on Big Island I settle a new city:
I lock the cost of a Harbor and start a monument. Once I get a builder down here (6-7 turns) I think harvesting the marsh is in order for the population boost. I send Graceland’s just-completed spy to He Was My Brother. Seven turns to get there and then I’ll try to neutralize the governor there. Loyalty pressure will recalculate on Australia’s turn.
I send Confucius into the gap between Admiral Ushakov and Mikasa to see what’s up and find nothing. I’ll find a spot to go ashore down here (I see there’s also a Chinese missionary in the area) to do some more defogging.
Back home I’ve now got a niter mine at Diamonds. The builder has five more actions and I think I might harvest the stone and remaining forest into...something. A Wat or a settler, perhaps? I also don’t have a Government Plaza constructed but I don’t know that it’s worth it at this point in the game. Gotta get Al rebuilt first.
There’s room to put a snowball city east of OC – I could place it SW of the niter and then Kampung the coast for some food and housing, with a mine and lumbermill providing some production.
My next settler will cost 1160 if I buy it in the next 11 turns. Once Al is sorted out I’ll want to get a settler over to the island west of Have a Good Time and get that settled. I could use the jongs to clear out the barbarians unless you do that first. Do you want to settle Chocolate Island or should I?
