yeah go ahead please

ive been busy.. well actually no just lazy. but I'll take a handful of turns in the next day or so building up units and scouting out the location. Once I see what kind of defense there is I'll get a good sense of how many units we need / how many galleys we need... some cool micro...

Didn't switch to OR cause I figured we'd be building lots of units in the near future instead of buildings.

ok I'm gonna take a crack at the save I actually switch us to research Meditation.. we can get it in 2 turns and only India has it right now. Khan declares war on Portugal. I was hoping he was planning to go after Mali but this is probably the 2nd best scenario, keeps our two neighbors busy...

we're waiting on boak with bated breath I can take some turns on Monday whether or not we've progressed, I don't wanna play too much unless others are cool with it cause I already did a long block

that makes a lot more sense and does seem worthwhile

Parthenon unlikely yeah, Mansa has the techs & Marble. Golden Pagoda, maybe. Mansa doesn't have Meditation but he does have Gold. Though I gotta wonder, maybe there's no point to Golden Pagoda? It seemed pretty tempting to rush into Free Religion before we knew what the religion setup was gonna...

I don't recall trading Aesthetics to Gandhi, but the easiest way to check is to see if it's listed as an option to trade in the Diplo screen. Or show us what the foreign advisor's tech screen says. Groove York can churn out a wonder the quickest, so if it looks like Gandhi is building S...

Dr. Evil has an innate -70 hatred of us so I wouldn't count on religion helping him stay at peace.

I don't think we have Monotheism so no Organized Religion. plus itd mean an extra turn of anarchy, blah

I don't even know what pause mode is :confused: I guess the lesson to take from this is, don't make peace with anyone ever :hammer:

we will (eventually) need a lot of spies for the Swinger's Pad, so once Invasion Point has outlived its usefulness we could set it to make spies and nothing else

settling invasion point would give us copper and even though we don't have any army to attack goldmember we can start building a transport navy from there

Yes, Mansa is way ahead of everyone. It'd be pretty cool to get an AI to wage war against him to sideline him for awhile. Khan hates him, though he hates us only slightly less, but maybe there's an opportunity around there somewhere. My thoughts on the wonders were-- Paya could be built in...
