No player was brave enough to take on Deity this update.

I've extended the current gauntlets for a month as I am rushed off my feet at the moment, any suggestions for new ones most welcome.

Thanks. And a level up on chieftain. Found new rules to break. I gave up on early civil service and an academy. Somewhere it clicked that the early game rides on massive chopping which made music and caste valuable. So why not throw in some massive bulbing too? It was going to be a state property game. That explained the first civic switch to caste and OR and building the Paya for early pacifism. Bulbs went for theology, machinery, education, constitution, sci meth, physics, biology, electricity, computers, fiber optics and fusion. SoL got engineered after libbing democracy, the palace got moved. Darius has cheap CHs and great cottages. So with a very early Hagia he was able to chop CHs fast, faster and ASAP. The economy was more than cash positive by 1600 BC with 60ish cities.... And state property then made city maintenance like 2 gold per city. Sick. But that's Darius.

Hanging gardens was used to mimic mercantilism until banking which came 10 turns later.
