Just a random thought from a dead brain, what if the map has toroidal wrap? That's one thing I remember causing higher city distance maintenance costs. Somebody else know what other map things cause similar effects?
PPP looks = green to me.
Yup - I forgot that map type effects tile distances. It is almost certainly something like that.
EDIT: Update test save T60. implemented Xcals suggestion (except for southern fog bust - waiting to hear of barb galley Q. In the test I got 1g for fail gold on SH. Built Barracks instead of Axe in Bolly. Will depend during game on what the warrior sees in the north. If there are barbs headed our way, Axe, otherwise Barracks.
EDIT 2: Added T68 screen of Oracle and Writing completing. 3 Chops. Might be able to get with 2 chops.
