Turn 143/500 (660 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:26:49]
Munich finishes: Academy I went w/the Academy first w/the GS ~ CS went from 17 to 13. We'll get another one at the end of my set.
I also find a rogue missionary in Roman lands. I'm guessing that this Confu missionary is heading to Rome to try and convert them, but he spends my set mapping our their land trying to find Rome. (It also occurred to me that maybe thats what he was there for, so . . . )
Turn 144/500 (680 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:29:14]
Argh!
A Mine was destroyed near Mainz I change research to gain 2 gpt, rather than lose 1. Munich also finished its theatre, and started on a one-turn workboat.
Turn 145/500 (700 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:29:55]
W/the WB done, I tried the Colossus ~ built by Holy Rome (not JCs unholy abomination). Instead, try for some defense:
Munich begins: Spearman (2 turns) [but not 2 turns!
Munich finishes: Spearman ]
Turn 146/500 (720 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:32:00]
I started one more spearman, and our WB netted those crabs (I cross my fingers thats what His Most Whippedness Mr. Fox wants).
Once that other spear is done in 2 turns, Munich will grow and be at the happy limit for a now; Im also going to work an extra scientist, too.
Turn 147/500 (740 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:33:38]
Charlie came by on the IBT:
I accepted the deal since i figure we're done w/Aesthetics, and was hoping to get a trade relation bonus, but no. Also, we caught a spy, too, operating near Munich . . . grrrr.
Turn 148/500 (760 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:35:14]
Im going w/the lighthouse now for some more food for thought (read: specialists). And I finished repairing the damage from our earlier event:
A Mine was built near Mainz.

Turn 151/500 (820 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:37:45]
Ugh ~ on the IBT:
I sweated with this for a bit, but since Spains power has higher, I decided against Tokus request. I also started a Jewish Monastery. I MMed a bit to stop growth, and being that I can't see much more bldgs we'll need atm, so I'm going w/some monteries for now for some sci bonus.
Interesting . . .

Nothing.
Turn 153/500 (860 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:40:04]
Finished the Jewish Mon, starting the Buddhist.
Im leaving this in because the attitude changes are a bit interesting.

You see JC declared on Gilgamesh ~ that might be a good fight, as theyre equal in power, but we might get called into it.
Turn 155/500 (900 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:41:03]
Okay, CS comes due:
And I immediately revolt:
I also chose Paper as the next tech. Again, nothing else seemed pressing at the moment. We have a vast number of trades possible, but at the least we need Feudalism and Currency would help, imo.
Research begun: Paper (940 Turns)
Ahh, and I get another cool event:
Sweet!
Oh, Buddhist mon done, start Confucian.
Turn 156/500 (920 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:42:16]
Another turn, another event:
As much as I'd like to interfere, i guess we just can't. Chose option 1.
Turn 157/500 (940 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:43:09]
Nothing again.
Turn 158/500 (960 AD) [25-Oct-2007 20:43:31]
On the IBT, we get some visitors:
I say yes to this. We have more than enough trade fodder now, and thisll help us I think
I hope.
Oh, and our first wartime request comes in:
Sorry, but not yet. Beat him up some more ~
All the monasteries are built; we got about another 40 beakers per turn from them. I'm starting on the Globe now
(6 turns) since we're at the happy, and to build a coliseum or any temples seems a waste.
Copernicus is also here, ready to philosophize if we wish. We're getting another GS in 15 turns, but now that we're in caste, we may want to re-jigger the tiles and specialists. I didn't touch em since whatever i did, fox would think it was wrong, so . . .
