Firstly - warning - science is at 0% so scale it back up - I was running binary science and turn 10 just happened to be a 0% turn. Now, on with the report ... Well, this will be a fun report. I get to spend the whole time complaining about different things in this game - or maybe I take the GreyFox dictator role ... nag nag nag ... We are building markets (ok, fair enough) but in some of these cities, we don't have granaries. I configure Euclid to build a granary in 5 while growing in 6. We also only have 2 out of 6 courthouses.
Turn 170 (1100 AD)
Socrates begins: Granary
Euclid begins: Granary
We only have 5 workers - typical scientists - sitting around all the time thinking and not actually doing anything. All this land that we need to develop and only 5 workers. We are really maxed out food-wize (check demographics and charts) so building workers will be really quick. Another thing to work on. Our defense is pretty thin too but I cannot do everything. Meanwhile in the South, our fog busters have left 2 tiles of fog. Ok, this is only a small item. I move the units around and now we only have one. Now, trade, ... what trade? We have closed borders because we don't want people settling in our lands. I trade philosophy for calendar, horsebackriding, world map and 150g to Roosevelt - hopefully that will keep him off our backs for a few more turns. Finally, our GPN sucks big time. We have all this room, all this food and no gold. I send those pitifully small number of workers chopping forests and building cottages. I also look at all the land that isn't being worked by our population - mainly because it is outside any BFC. We need more cities ...
Turn 176 (1160 AD)
Nanjing begins: Worker
Guangzhou begins: Settler
Turn 179 (1190 AD)
Ptah begins: Settler
Nanjing begins: Worker
On the religious front - all of our cities have the same religion - heavens be praised. However, all of our neighbours have a different religion and they all hate us because of it ...
Turn 175 (1150 AD) Christianity has spread: Socrates
Turn 177 (1170 AD) Christianity has failed to spread: Euclid - grrr
Turn 179 (1190 AD) Christianity has spread: Nanjing
Turn 180 (1200 AD) Christianity has spread: Euclid
I would suggest that we revolt to Christianity now - right now. Only that silly little city that is down South hasn't got Christianity yet. Speaking of that city ... Well, looking back at the lastest dot map (
here), I have to say ChrTh that New Beijing's placement is wro ... its placement is wron ... its placement is not as accurate as it could be. Here is another dot map showing where I think we should be putting those settlers that are due to complete. I would settle green dot first then sign open borders with everyone and convert to Christianity. Our map of other people's lands is out of date - Mensa only has 4 cities and is still teching like crazy - we need some scouts up there (build them first!) to update our map.
In other news ... Alex comes begging for Feudalism - on your bike sunshine. A little while later ... 1140AD, he declares war. Oh well, he will have difficulty bring the fight to us as he doesn't have open borders with either Mensa or Roosevelt. Wait a minute, he declared war on Roosevelt. Why couldn't he pick on Mansa? Also, IBTs after 1150AD, "Islam founded in a distant land".
), another one-coast away city on the east coast? Some how I have a feeling we are going to regret that .... well, we shall see.
