Shai-Hulud still not founded. After Mysti we might have a chance to grab it. It would be nice.
Red spot is fine for me.

The Fremen found a new sietch, Gara Kulon. The site is Slvynn's red spot, 4E and 2S of Sietch Tabr.
Our scouts meet Leto II and his Atreides followers on the opposite site of the polar region. He calls himself "God Emperor of Dune". We Fremen are unimpressed.
Turn 65 we discover Arrakis Habitation and start researching Spice Extraction, beelining to Stillsuits for the Crysknife Fighter rush.
In a short space of time, we meet the part-man part-machine freak Rhombur Vernius of Ix and the untrustworthy Ordos mentat Roma Atani, both to the far north (although, technically, this is a polar map so the north pole is the centre).
Also, Leto II founds Shai Hulud, and later it is adopted by the Harkonnens. An unlikely alliance forming there?
Turn 78, we discover Spice Extraction and start on Stillsuits.
We meet our last rival, Wensicia, in the north-west, to the west of the Ix.
I played my turn before reading the latest posts about putting a rush base to the north west of Sietch Tabr. Sorry. Instead, I've founded the third city on turn 81, Sietch Makab, at a good site to the east (2 windtraps, 1 dew, 1 groundwater, diamonds and incense). Both diamonds and incense are good for commerce and happiness. This would be a good base for rushing Ecaz, but we should probably still focus on the Bene Gesserit first since they have the bigger score next to us. Unless we want to take Ecaz out first while they are weak.
We discover Stillsuits and can start building Crysknife Fighters. Sietch Tabr has a barracks built already.
Our scout finished the turn next to a barbarian soldier so he is probably dead on the first turn of the next go.
Now we have met all our rivals, here is a map indicating the locations. We still don't know exactly where the Tleilaxu are so I am guessing.
There are a couple of things to note.
1. We need Monuments to grow the cultural borders of the two new cities - I am already researching Mysticism.
2. We should hook up any happy resources we can, Sietch Tabr is already about to hit 7 population and we don't have enough happy.
I played 25 turns in the end as I wasn't sure how many to do. Perhaps the next player should play 25 and then we switch to 20 turn rounds after that?
For next time, I am going to do what negyvenketto does in his reports and post the autolog in a spoiler tag. If you use Alt-L to enable autologging, then you will have a nicely formatted summary of your turn saved in Mods/Dune Wars/Autolog. If you cut and paste that into a spoiler then it can help us plan future turns. I forgot to do it this time unfortunately.

Lost the scout from the barb.
88. Mysticism done. Desert trade is next (need happiness, i.e. desert plantations which is the next tech)
89. It takes 6 moves to build a Crysknife right now. So I start a refinery (and we should assign a techman to nab some wonders after that).
90. Send worker to do nitrates.
92. Sietch Tabr becomes unhappy again.
96. Desert trade in, desert plantation next
100. nitrates done, spice next
101. We're third in power (Ecaz is 7th so maybe he should be our target)
105. Plantations in, I think we should try to found Mahdi again so go for defense tactics/faith.
107. Adv Defense Grid done somewhere else. Our first spice is done. We trade for some sand verbena (happiness) from Leto.
112. Faith is next.
113. Sietch Makah's culture expand. (we have 2 monuments now) Feyd the tyrant wants us to adopt slavery, well, maybe later.
Right now we have 3 Crysknifes (crysknives?) in Seitch Makah. Our capital can build 1 in 3 moves (hopefully 2 when the mine is done) I would go for Ecaz next.
We can also build our spice firm, but I'm not sure where we want it (since none of our cities can access spice right now).
We will have a great techman in 15 turns, we should be able to nab one of the faith wonders then (I think the 50% great person rate is good, but a case can be made for all gov't civics too (early HR or meritocracy then theocracy when we have a religion).

I cant look into save because on job but at 1st glimpse i think that we need to get tech which provide +1 water per wells, and we need to found magenta city, because BG will take it, there is lots of spice btw and it will be great border base against Bg.

After the current crysknife is done we can build a settler in 7-8 turns in our capital. 4 crysknives and a soldier should be enough to capture and defend the Ecaz city next to us.
I found out that crysknives can move a lot more moves than your infantry/soldiers, so we should use them to capture some workers.

Yes - our DoW should ne started with 1-3 workers stealing. :grin:
Also i am still concerned about BG - BG grow more powerfull with time... So we should keep them blocked and culture emphasized - they are quite annoying with culture flips.

I'm not a big fan of early rush especially if we have lots of land to settle. If capital reached happy cap, it should build settlers and workers to avoid

I think 1-2 early rushes will help boost our coffers and hence research (since we ran out of cash already), especially if you can capture a capital. Once we block out BG we should concentrate all forces on Ecaz.

Atm rush can be pretty easy - we need just to make few crys - and thats why i wanted to found magenta city and to initiate attack on BG - that will allow us to hamper bg from desert while keep our main cities safe emphasizing REX there towards Ecaz.
I think we should rush someone, that will yes provide more cities and gold, Crysknife is really good unit - and we'll get tons of workers from such rush , so that will save good chunk of our capital's production.
And too much of cities = very hight maintenance costs - keep in mind this is bit different now - commerce is harder to generate , and we should also use some spice as well
atm we have 4 tiles and magenta city offer more even - we should use some of it and perhaps work 1-2 spice tiles.
Our tech now is 24 (29 -5) so few tiles and one worked tile will boost our research by more than 50%

Too bad about Leto getting Shai Hulud. How often do the BG not get it??
Ok, I've got it. Will wait a bit for input though. Also want to check I have 25 turns in this set right?
Build Plan
Sietch Tabr: I'm thinking after crysknife -->Settler (Slvynn's Magenta for spice/BG harass)-->crysknife to happy cap-->Worker (I think our capital is well developed so 3 workers for the other 3 cities should be ok. Not optimal, but if rushing we need the soldiers)
Other two will build Crysknives.
I'm thinking of building the corporation in Gara Culon because It has a bunch of water and flat land for cottages. That will make it into a really good commerce city.
Tech
I like the plan to use the techman-Faith path for the +50 GP wonder, then the Desert engineering for +water in wells? Also gives rocket troopers for some collateral
Initial Diplo
Looks like more people are happy with Exaz, and with us having a better power rating than BG but BG more score I think that leans clearly towards attacking BG.
Unit Plan
I'm going to send a crysknife fighter out to scout perimeter of each of BG and Exaz
2 Workers will work mesas to windtraps/surface mines (production for knives) the other will keep the happy/healthy cap stable.
I'll move the worker on the barrel cactus in 3rd ring to work on windtraps of second ring of Gara Culon

I vote for Attacking BG. Meagenta City with help much to that. BG are also very annoying with its culture, so getting rid of them earlier will be much better.
Rocket Troopers do not collaterial damage, they are anti Vehicle/Thopter/Hornet unit. Perhaps few of them will be helpfull later in case BG will attack with thopters/quads
I agree with rest of things.

Liet looked at the collected data his scouts had sent him by cielago before ambush by smugglers.
While it was obvious that no spice grubber would accept his people’s dream of a green Arrakis (the folly of a monocrop!) there were more pressing threats. Both the Archduke of Ecaz and the Bene Gesserit witch Mohiam had established bases far too close for comfort. The plan of Liet must be kept safe from prying eyes for as long as possible...
Liet looked up from his maps. “I need better data on the extent of Bene Gesserit and Ecaz influence before we take their water for ourselves. Send out a scout party to look for vulnerable positions in the towns under their control, but avoid contact for now.”
Inherited turn:
Moved one of the crysknives in city 3 towards the BG.
Cranked the research slider to 0 to make some more gold for deficit research. Some more AIs might research faith in the meantime to save us a few beakers. (Actually, does that saving apply when tech trading is off?)
Next turn:
Research back to 95%, Faith in 7.
Sietch Tabr finishes crysknife.–>settler in 5. It will scout north BG the second CK coming will scout south
Worker by Sietch Mackab finishes work on incense, set it to make windtrap
Turn 116:
Movement. A barbarian soldier seen north of Ecaz
Turn 117:
Send one solider at Sietch Tabr to fogbust for upcoming settler
Turn 119:
Gara Culon finishes greenhouse–> spice corp
Ugh, the spice slowing down my sand riders is really annoying. Why does it do that?
Turn 120:
Gara Culon finishes spice corp–>worker in 7. I thought about going for a barracks (in 10), but with so little improved land and no solar panels I thought it would just take forever to get any crysknives (take 8 now)
Seitch Tabr finishes settler–> CK in 3, growth in 1
While it seemed that the Archduke could probably be ignored temporarily, underestimating a Reverend Mother would certainly lead to catastrophe. And the spice bribes were getting larger...
Pointing to the magenta dot on his map Liet provided further instructions to the council of Naibs: “Establish a Sietch here, it will provide a base to monitor the offworld sayyadina as well as provide a source of spice.”
Turn 122:
Faith is in, next is Desert industry (11 turns at -10gpt) switch to 0% research to get 28gpt for 3 turns
Settle Sietch Abbir on Magenta–>deathstill (monument next)
Turn 123:
Sietch Tabr crysknife–>Temple of First Moon (in 27) Great Techman in 5.
Turn 124: Smuggler den of Red Pass discovered to North of Ecaz
Turn 125:
Imperial FIDL
Turn 126:
Gaius Hellen Mohiam converts to Imperial.
Intelligence suggests that the Bene Gesserit are the true power behind the imperial throne, nothing new, but their arrogant manipulation is still galling.
Turn 128:
Techman born: Used for Temple.
Turn 129:
Tempe of First moon is ours Sietch Tabr–>CK in 2
Attack a Barbarian with crysknife for XP (99.1% odds in favour).
Gotta love these Sandworm graphics!
Turn 130:
Sietch Tabr finishes CK–>CK(in 3)
(Sorry I pressed enter by accident so no 129 to inherit) No movement has been done.

The current Fremen Influence:
Current BG Influence as of ~2 turns ago
Current Ecaz Influence as of ~4 turns ago:
Desert Engineering will be in in 5.
Currently I'm not sure how we are doing interms of our plan of rushing BG. We certainly don't have enough military yet, maybe we should take out Ecaz quicklike instead.
The other problem is the current lovefest in the AI. eg because Slavery is his favorite civic Feyda is happy with everyone, so we'll take diplo hits for war with either BG or Ecaz. We can probably get away with it but I suggest maybe converting to Slavery now that we have some surface mines to the the + as well.

Nah lets keep game in-character - no slavery 
CK are quite powerfull early, so we just need more 3 of them and we can attack Bg.
The problem with bg that they are imperial in this game - that means they will be very annoying - their culture levels will be very hight very soon. I say take them first. It will also give us certain remoteness from Feyd for now.
I'll play today in evening, after job - And perhaps will build military and DoW BG. They are our settlers right now.
Also dont worry - our ally will be Leto II, which like terraforming civis and have only religion , from founded ones, which we can adopt. Feyd is not problem as well - 1. He adopted SH for now. 2. He is remote, and we can predict/cut any incoming attack using our desert scouts and sandriders.
Ah! and do not build well in Sitch Abbir yet - i will stop it - spice is priority - production will suffice. 1 worked spice tile and we have great boost for our coffers. 1 windtrap 2 mines and spice tile seems to be a good idea. Well will destroy spice.
Also GJ with Temple of First Moon - that will be usefull
Also i added and updating history to 1st post.

Maybe you are right. Here is my force assessment for a war within your turn set:
Current CK population=7 (2 @ 5xp 5 @3XP)
Build 2 more CKs in Sietch Mackab=7 turns.
Move them to Sietch Tabr =3turns
In 10 turns Sietch Tabr can build 3 CKs
Total CK count after 10 turns=13
Move them to attacking position=4 turns (during which Sietch Tabr makes 2 more)
So will 13 CKs be sufficient to take one city and threaten another? (would leave us very vulnerable to a stab as only one solider would be left in each city). Then again Exaz is only one close by, so maybe we can over aw him.
If so then: WAR!!
Here is my estimate of BG city locations based on past and current culture.
Im most certain about the red circle (capital) because of the early contact with what looked like a 2nd ring (see my post on blocking), cyan circle could be 1nw based on current culture but past culture suggests where I put it. Yellow Im less certain about and is really a guess.
The arrows are a suggested invasion path. One turn of movement from green. DoW then Dark blue attacks red circle on that turn.

The title of this message says much - my focus was to bring female Bene Gesserit personnel into our own Fremen breeding programm, and as consequence, to making Arrakis nice green planet to allow our descendants to live in more romantic atmosphere.
I also sorry i didnt initiated logging from mu 1st turn.
Ok Desert Engeneering is done by turn 135... Next tech is Education. Our New and Old Crysknives squads moving towards Bene Gesserit land. 2 of them gone chocking to west side of BG borders to look for workers - perhaps if we will "zoom" them onto crysknife pin they will accept to work for us.
Also i'd say big props to Stochastic for building such nice military base force.
Turn 137 - our forces moved to the defence wall of Chapterhouse from desert. West side crysknife fighters captured 2 workers.
Turn 138 - We take Chapterhouse and moving chocking forces towards 2nd BG city, also protecting 3rd captured worker at east of Chapterhouse.
chapterhouse is nice city - we just got Filmbook Lib and Aql Monument for free.
Turn 139 - Blitzkrieg - We capturing 2nd city, but BG is not dead . I promotinmg more guys and sending them to different directions with majority towards pole, including some newly formed squads.
Turn 140-142 - we kill some smuggler soldiers, looking insanely for remnants of BG. We lose 1 seeker to the worm. Our 2 newly aquired workers venture towards our main land to help there with spice harvesting and cottages, 1 left to scout more desert and then returned to our "new" cities. We also found BTl land on our west.
Turn 143-144 - We found last city of BG and gathering our closest seekers there - so far 4 crys against thopter and infantry. Ecaz founds Landsraad.
145 - Now all BG women are ours. We send prettier and calmer ones to Sietch-Tabr to improve our genofond. We also got some nice shiny pole spot with polar ice which will help us alot with making this planet greener.
146-150 - We finish Education (thanks to our newly aquired BG hoards ) and start Dune Topography, building Libs here and there. 2 OB signed (haha Ordos for shai-hulud, Ecaz to be able to scout land of our next victim.Alot of Smugglers cities (crappy) founded near our culture borders. All excess of crysknife corps sent to south of Siech-tabr. I advise wiping those smuglers and settling there more proper cities. We finish DT and starting Crystal Materials to start our path towards Terraforming.
So far 3 new cities, alot of resources, 2 wonders, 3 workers, alot of money, bit of fun, lots of spice, few corpses, improved geno-fond, pretty women acquired.
I think its time to grow now and perhaps to build some loads of defence units (Rocket Troopers), and spread them between our cities.
we also will have soon GP - i think it it will be techman we can use him for another wonder.
I also sorry i didnt initiated logging from mu 1st turn.
Ok Desert Engeneering is done by turn 135... Next tech is Education. Our New and Old Crysknives squads moving towards Bene Gesserit land. 2 of them gone chocking to west side of BG borders to look for workers - perhaps if we will "zoom" them onto crysknife pin they will accept to work for us.
Also i'd say big props to Stochastic for building such nice military base force.
Turn 137 - our forces moved to the defence wall of Chapterhouse from desert. West side crysknife fighters captured 2 workers.
Turn 138 - We take Chapterhouse and moving chocking forces towards 2nd BG city, also protecting 3rd captured worker at east of Chapterhouse.
chapterhouse is nice city - we just got Filmbook Lib and Aql Monument for free.
Turn 139 - Blitzkrieg - We capturing 2nd city, but BG is not dead . I promotinmg more guys and sending them to different directions with majority towards pole, including some newly formed squads.
Turn 140-142 - we kill some smuggler soldiers, looking insanely for remnants of BG. We lose 1 seeker to the worm. Our 2 newly aquired workers venture towards our main land to help there with spice harvesting and cottages, 1 left to scout more desert and then returned to our "new" cities. We also found BTl land on our west.
Turn 143-144 - We found last city of BG and gathering our closest seekers there - so far 4 crys against thopter and infantry. Ecaz founds Landsraad.
145 - Now all BG women are ours. We send prettier and calmer ones to Sietch-Tabr to improve our genofond. We also got some nice shiny pole spot with polar ice which will help us alot with making this planet greener.
146-150 - We finish Education (thanks to our newly aquired BG hoards ) and start Dune Topography, building Libs here and there. 2 OB signed (haha Ordos for shai-hulud, Ecaz to be able to scout land of our next victim.Alot of Smugglers cities (crappy) founded near our culture borders. All excess of crysknife corps sent to south of Siech-tabr. I advise wiping those smuglers and settling there more proper cities. We finish DT and starting Crystal Materials to start our path towards Terraforming.
So far 3 new cities, alot of resources, 2 wonders, 3 workers, alot of money, bit of fun, lots of spice, few corpses, improved geno-fond, pretty women acquired.

Nice set Slvynn! I don't have time to look at the actual save yet, but it looks like everything went better than planned! 
I'm loving all the spice harvesters the BG set up for us!
So now I think we should probably sweep Ecaz as well before our crysknives become obsolete for city attack. Then take some time to backfill our area, get infrastructure up (and some proper defensive units) in the cities and improve land.
Maybe we should save the Techman (assuming we get him and not the noble), I'm not sure any of the currently available wonders are worth it.

I think we might get maulas > terraforming > academies soon. And then Golden Path later with all that greenery around 
Btw we need to terraform 154 tiles so.... we have alot of time Golden Path will be cool thing to get
But for the mo i think getting aster Guardsmans and building good amounts of them will be cool.
I dont think that Ecaz will be hard nut to crack - Throw more Crys, replace ones which guard captured cities with rocket troopers and we'll kill him easilly. Our production is crazy for the moment.
Also i think we should care about Harks, and assign our EPs towards Feyd perhaps.
BTL are also weak and live in remote cluster - their power ratio is very weak, may be it will be ok if we get killed them both - If we build loads of Crys right now. In this case Law of arrakis will be priority (another good tech to get by the way).

Smugglers now have Infantry, we can kill them later when we have stronger troops or siege.
Feyd-Rautha, Rhombur Vernius, Princess Wensicia wanted open borders, I declined.
After Crystals, went for Maula Pistols (Guardsmen)
We got Great Nobleman
I sent him to build Imperial Palace
Please don't do this again. I haven't noticed the avoid growth was on. This is not the right way to avoid unhappy. Better to hire specialist or hook happy resources. Yes, I still found some unhooked
what a waste.
We got a GS, I sent him to build Academy in Gara Kulon (spice firm city).
After Maula Pistols I chose Wind Energy, After that Climate Control
We more or less have enough defense, I think we should build some settlers and expand, harvest more spice. After Way of Liet we can focus on military again.
Good luck.
