(0) Hmm, been a while since I've been here. I'm going to need to take a look around. I buy contact with the Aztecs from Cathy for 40 G. From Monty I buy contact with Egypt for contact with Germany and Code of Laws. Cleo is cautious. Everyone else is annoyed or worse. I buy her world map for contact with the Russians. Cleo and Monty are on another small continent (about the size of Germany) just North of Russia. Lessee... Nobody is very happy with us.

I guess we did take a reputation hit. Did we decide on a domination victory?
(1) 1255: Alex is a bit miffed at our Rider in the hills near Herakleia. I debate telling him where to stuff his messenger, but I finally decide to acquiesce. We've fought the Babs, the Indians, and the Germans, all in quick succession. I decide to consolidate our holdings for now. Alex's time will come!

(2) 1260: Alex founds Troy up on the empty space on our northern peninsula. Between it and Dnepropetrovsk, they will eventually take that whole chunk of land between our lower and upper cities. We'll just have to take them, instead.
(3) 1265: Palace Expansion.
(4) 1270: Ur falls into disorder, make entertainer.
(5) 1275: Ninevah falls into disorder, make entertainer.
(6) 1280: Nuts N Honey.
(7) 1285: Russians found Maikop on our north peninsula east of Akkad. Germans have a settler package up there, too.
(8) 1290: Nuts N Honey.
(9) 1295: Nuts N Honey.
(10) 1300: Nuts N Honey.
(11) 1305: Nuts N Honey.
(12) 1310: Nuts N Honey.
(13) 1315: Shanghai riots from overcrowding, make entertainer.
(14) 1320: Start Copernicus' in Kefkland. Palace Expansion.
(15) 1325: Nuts N Honey.
(16) 1330: Nuts N Honey.
(17) 1335: Nuts N Honey.
(18) 1340: Nuts N Honey.
(19) 1345: Nuts N Honey.
(20) 1350: Nuts N Honey.
I wasn't feeling very warlike tonight, and I felt we could benefit from a few turns of rest and recuperaion. I did build some more riders and musketmen. We should be ready to take on either Alex or Cathy whenever we want.
I concentrated mostly on temples in our newly acquired lands, and libraries and such elsewhere. I did bring our Army of riders down from the far north to Bengal, where they can be used against either Troy or the Russian cities.
The German settler up north tried to come down and bother our citizens near Pune, but a cordon of workers and a pikeman are escorting them back north.
We have a near-lock on Copernicus'. Alex is the only other building it, and is a good 30 turns further away. Leo's is another question. I think it is up in the air at this point as to who will get it. I didn't want to totally deplete our treasury to check every city building it. We might want to research for another wonder when we get Banking in 3 turns, so we can cascade if we have to.
