In your most recent city, it appears that you've used the readings that are homophones with "death suffering". Might I suggest renaming it to "yonju-kyu" instead? Unless it was an intentional bit of dark humor regarding your likely in-game future.

Yeah, it was meant to be a bit of a hidden pun on our chances. I don't speak Japanese but when researching the proper name I came across and decided, "Close enough."

Turn 112

We've got our Plaza down and 4 turns from completion, as well as 2 settlers nearing completion (one is hidden behind the Plaza build at Korutsu). Also getting out builders to chop out IZs. COmbat strength is acceptably near Roman levels and we have a mild gold income. 

Hopefully I can get the settlers down, use the Samurai to hold off Rome, and chop out infrastructure to maybe get into a distant position once my Heroic Age ends and my culture/science collapse. 




Rome ate La Venta. :/ Archduke built Entemaki (can't spell it). I cannot believe that we've somehow eclipsed greenline in every way. What?

>> 50 GPT
>> "mild" gold income

i'd be curious to hear how the other players are doing gold-wise nod

as for greenline, um, tokugawa strong, i guess? ok, probably "feed the world strong" is more accurate in this case. can those size 4 cities get to 7 without placing holy sites and shrines, or will they slam into the housing cap first? if the latter, i might suggest doing the holy site first and then bootstrapping the IZ off of FtW food where it's an option. although i guess we also have the issue of getting our religion to spread.... is our religious pressure strong enough that we could pull off the trick of keeping the new cities at size 1 until we get a free spread?

man, that is a LOT of man-at-armses around hong kong.... i wonder if we should consider declaring pre-emptive war to thin out the crowd a little bit and maybe snipe a few archers. on the other hand, that will probably interfere badly with your settling push - is the plan with the next two settlers to push into the contested whosit region as aggressively as we can sustain? certainly that southwestern spot by mount asama looks strong, defensible, and like a critical strategic location for us to grab

edit: although it looks like you might run into serious loyalty problems if you settle W of hong kong, if not now then at the end of the heroic age, with 3 roman cities in range and only one of yours.... ugh stupid loyalty mechanic

Yeah, the mountain settle is clearly the best strategic location, but I think I need the other spots at about the same time in order to combat Loyalty. Whosit's cities have oodles of population, and he's been in the position my core cities are just now reaching for about 50 turns already. Really, my only shot here is to try and hang in as best I can and hope that Archduke or someone drags Whosit down from the other side. More likely one of the three of Krill, Greenline, or myself is getting eaten and the winner snowballs from there. 

Will check gold with next save.

Oh, AND I'm Hong Kong's Suzerain, for now. I could do something funny with a levied military, perhaps? We DO have a solid gold income. Hmmm. That might be worth checking out and doing a raid on Rome's eastern frontier...but would need to coordinate with Korea and China to really be efffective. Still, worth thinking about.

Krill makes 150 gpt. Whosit makes 250!

Where the heck is all that coming from? Jeepers.

Well, Whosit has Commercial Hubs down in every city, presumably in order to run food trade routes back to his capital, which is how he has the things growing like weeds. I am trying to do the same, with, ah, less success - it was my motivation for taking Tokugawa since I knew I'd be building my economy on domestic trade anyway. 

Krill only has a handful of cities (presumably squeezed between Archduke and Whosit/greenline, depending on if he's in the north or south), so not sure how he's managing it. I should use the diplomacy screen to check his population but I'm pretty checked out of the game in general - what's the point of it all, y'know?
