Murky launched on T153!
Very impressive, I will have to read their thread carefully and learn what I can.
Plenty of teams to check still, but I am assuming that is a laurel result, possibly gold. Wow.
Edit: More teams....
- Team CFR is aiming at launching on T150, and will edge out Murky if they can pull it off. They appear to be around T136 or so, so they have to execute their plan, but it looks solid.
- Unusual Suspects are at T172, and they are estimating they have about 30 turns to go.
- Gypsy Kings are at T149, and just finished Rocketry. They have at least Genetics of the more advanced techs, so not sure just how far they have to go. But obviously have not even started Apollo yet.
- Who Dat are at T119, and just got Rifling and (intentionally delayed) Liberalism. Long way to go with one month left.
- Geezers (as noted earlier, including for completeness in one list) are at T187 and just started teching Rocketry.
- Fifth Element (ditto) are at T174 and just started building Apollo.
- Chokonuts are at T184 and have not begun researching Rocketry. Interesting differences in city location, and have just ended a minor war with Stalin (they have a city in Europe) and Joao (who has a city claiming the marble west of the start!).
- XTeam are at T141, and internally estimating they have 40 turns to go. But that seems to be a rough estimate, not a detailed plan. They just finished Assembly Line and started Combustion a couple turns ago, but I am not completely sure where they are on the tech tree.
- Smurkz are at T148, and have not yet researched Rocketry. They are about to begin a para attack on Hammi that looks kind of familiar.
- Wonder Bumpkins are at T163, and have not yet researched Rocketry.
- One Short Straw are at T104, and just finished Astronomy. They will really have to pick up the pace to finish in a month.
- Trash Team actually finished a couple days ago! So we are not first team to submit our victorious save. Victory on T212 for them.
- Team CRC are always tough to know how they are doing, at least if you do not read Russian. Their latest status update shows them at T113, no Rocketry yet but I do not have a clear picture of just where they are.
I think that is everyone. Looks like Team CFR for gold, Murky for Silver, and maybe CRC (or just possibly us???) for Bronze. But I would not be clearing shelf space for that laurel yet -- CRC are very good, and XTeam will be very close if they hit that 40 turn estimate. But I can see us doing no worse than about 5th, and maybe a place or two better depending.
So I nuke Moscow and Atlantis. On the next turn... every capitol except HC is glowing, and even an extra for St. Pete! In fact, those silly barbs sent a galley our way, so I nuked it, too!
