I've been working on a novel called Fields of Carrot Flowers (going super well), I recently have picked up violin and have been taking lessons, I'm scheduled to get braces in a couple weeks (at my age, 20... I had to wait to pay for them myself), working a part time job scheduling financial advisor appointments at AIG while studying business and chemistry, and I've been watching lots of Rick and Morty, listening to lots of XTC and Neutral Milk Hotel, and reading a lot of Philip K Dick. I just can't get enough Dick. And you can quote me on that.

Okay, I will.
I completely agree with you about Slavery, although I think you should whip more 
. But we can avoid the Random Event without having to abandon Slavery. You just have to avoid the other prereq. I know there is a time when you simply can't let all your cities to be under 3 pop points, which you've probably already reached, but while it isn't so bad to let them like this, it's actually great because you can completely avoid that Random Event and whip at will 
.
Comments on Episode 3:
Why Guerilla is useless? It can make even stronger defenders for Hilled cities (combining City Garrison and Guerilla). Not only that, but Double Movement on Hills with Guerilla II is a great trait. Especially in defensive units. It helps secure vantage points in war. And if all of this isn't enough, Guerilla III gives attack on Hills and +50% Withdrawal, which can be combined with Flank I + II for +80% Withdrawal. I believe there are units that can get both promotion lines in vanilla BtS, but if not there is always the Great General promotion that gives +30% Withdrawal, which already sums with Guerilla III to 80%.
Your militaristic focus is actually what can really make a difference for your empire, because I think you have slowed a bit in micromanaging. The worker was cancelled and you lost hammers on it because of that, a settler stayed idle for several turns and you will automate your workers. I would suggest trying to stay more focused on your micromanaging, and you'll make the Prince AI crumble beneath your feet, because in terms of war you're pretty well versed, that's undeniable
.
I suggest that you always have some money on your treasury. Then you'll be able to pay the flood on the roads, the burn on the forest, the pests on the granary, the fire on the forge, the cigarette on the theater, the slaves unrest. Even those other Random Events that can actually give you something good, like the Joyous Wedding, the Federal Reserve, the Airship Crash, need a gold reserve.
And please, take that spot near the English and build the Greek Canal there
It'll be awesome for Navy Maneuvers

I've joined the drama club in my school actually, and I found out today I've been voted into the role of PR for the board of the club, which is exciting.
Other than this, my life has been relatively calm -- my birthday was last Friday. I'm finally 15
Anyways, I'm still an avid Sanders supporter, and school has been taking my utmost attention for the last while. I apologize for not coming on here, but life is just getting busier and busier.

Nice Noob! Happy birthday!
To anyone who is interested. A spot in a RFC PBEM game has been opened because I had to drop. Anyone who may be interested please message the thread at: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=501090. It's very fun, I just don't have the time right now.

I'm really disappointed I haven't seen anyone do an American story where people who read the thread would run for president and give their own proposals on what to do to better the empire.
Say Spirictum and CaterpillarKing ran against each other for control for 4 in-game years. Spirictum might say we need to declare war on Canada and take Quebec, while CK says we need to colonize the Pacific instead.
If we really wanted to get into it, we could make up political parties for the thread.
Just a thought.

Sup guys. Sometimes I'm a Pickle, or a war hungry Japanese dictator addicted to power, or a war hungry Viking seeking new lands for his people.. Either way, I like war. =)

So I've been looking at the next few months and I might be amiable to doing something along those lines. It would be set in a fractal world in the Late Roman Senate with some personal mods added by me, but would work something along those lines. I'll probably be starting it up sometime at the end of January to give Jim's a chance to gather a following before I start my own (and also because I'm busy until the end of January).

So I'm not dead. I've just been very busy. My entire last week was spent prepping for a debate tournament in New Orleans that went down this weekend. This week I have finals so I'll likely not be on here at all until after this week. Then I will once again write my Mexico story.
