Agreed. I think mabye I should retire till BTS comes out at least.
Speaking of retiring, that may be what the RNGod wishes for all of us...

After the failed coup d'etat, I sat alone and miserable in my mud hut, atleast till I heard that I was suddenly up. Rushing from my chair, I tripped and hit my head, and heard HIS words.
I saw a magical die roll, and saw two twos flash upon it, which swiftly cut to a picture of 5 gravestones...then, I rolled another two, and saw a city in ruins...
Smiling, I ran to fulfill HIS wordz.
So yes, we moved on Utica, and I added the GG to get that tribal done. I then got to defeat five enemies in twenty turns for tribal and to capture a city for personal.
Well. Isn't this grand synergy?
On Turn 1 I blasted my way into Kerkouane and razed the place, taking two riflemen with no losses. Two down, three to go...
Turn Two saw Brennus pop by to chat. I offered him crackers, but he said he wantd our head on a platter...but, no immenent invasions were forthcoming...
Turn Three saw our latest Tech come in, and Economics was selected by me. (The tech's now due in 4 turns - Wow, what an economic turn around!)
Turn Four was dreary, I basically moved on Utica...
Turn Five saw me killing a Frig of Hannibal's I believe at 32% chance or so, which adds another point - just two kills left!
Turn 6 saw me reach the walls of Hippo...and the conclusion was forgone...
I rolled a 5 and 6, which is learn two techs no-one knows. I laughed and went to pour a Whisky.
Turn Seven saw Carhage and Utica come into play. They had high pops, so I whipped Pavillions, with the overflow into libaries and courts. They'll be good cities when they exapnd a bit culturally.
Turn Eight...taking the RNGod's advice, I went to beg Civs to give us techs for free...no such luck...In anger, I whip a court in Carthage.
Turn Nine was uneventful...Turn Ten saw a new play become peopular in the Incan lands - called The Death of a Beggar, it became a hit on Broadway and won six Capac's.
So, we have a GE sleeping, and Carthage looks about done, except for that capital. Perhaps we should make peace?
