This rather unassuming update is rather special to me as it includes my first ever deity victory

Hopefully the next one won't involve as much clicking "next turn" and not much else

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

A turn spent only pressing Enter to "End turn" is a turn wasted. The more micromanagement tactics that you learn, the more that you can accomplish in each turn.

For example, near the end of the game, which is a time that one is often tempted to repeatedly end turns, if I can roughly predict my end date, I can micromanage the squares worked by Cities so that they'll either grow extra population points (for a higher Score) or so that I'll use up all of the Food without shrinking in order to work more Specialists.

Oh, I know. I was oversimplifying in a way that captures how boring some cultural games can be. There was plenty of micro starving cities for every last GPP to maximize my # of GA bombs.
