Sorry guys, after two days of silence, I'm going to have to skip. Too much travel and home life is just making this impossible. I'll stay on the roster for now, but not sure if I can keep it up. I'll try.

OK, I got it, I'll probably play 5 and see how long that take before going any further. Should have a good go at it tonight. smackster

Yes its got close to that time. Suggest Dman takes it tomorrow if Tarkeel has not turned up by then

Certainly feel free to play just 5 turns, if they are taking too long

Whoops, I updated that post. Sorry I'm travelling, back in Jolly old England.

Deleted, serves me right for not paying enough attention

Yes lets use every trick we have. ROP rape away. I think our chances of winning were shot when we lost the ToA, but lets do the best we can regardless. Somebody should check how close we are to the Domination limit, assume we have room, but worth checking. In fact this is my belief the best...

Either we start another wonder, or never build another. As the cascade has stopped now is the time to start another wonder pre-build. Don't build anything else before that. Or don't build another wonder again. I'd probably abandon that Japanese city. Awkward or not, we know its the best way...

T8 480AD Looks like a deal with Iro got messed up, so we lost the ROP. I get it again. I don't really see much sign of rep break, but I think it must be. I'm not sure why that Iro deal got broken? Switch to Pentagon lose 147 shields 490AD Strange movements from Scandy stack as only a...

Based on that I'm going to switch to Pentagon with loss of 147 shields.

Oh about rep, it probably is ok in hindsight, I did not check. I was not totally sure about the lux trades we had. All I know is that after all the war declarations, I got a few messages saying that we lost our supply of X. Clearly if we lost it as they declared on us then we are ok. I'm not...

Nobody will sign peace yet. But I think you mis-understand my reason for stopping. Leo's has been built by Scandy and we have a Leo's build with about 450 shields in it. We have to make a choice next IBT turn for Pentagon or Sistine. What I did forget to look at was putting that back to the...

T7 470AD Start by getting ROP with Iro, still enough people to fight before them so I think this is ok. Get them to declare on Carth too with Spics. Now I buy Chemistry from English for 2k gold and 8 GPT, Sell Chemistry and get Education and 12 GPT. Now sell to France for 24 GPT and 44...

Agreed. I shall setup the cutting crew ASAP. However, shall I try to get Chemistry/Education first with our available cash?

Overall our military is ok. The war with Mongols was unexpected so that side has less troops than I would have hoped. Clearly the more troops we have the faster the expansion will be. In a normal game it would be obvious what to do, but in this one I don't think it is. We certainly are...
