Kikinit: I think you're up 

Um Mao has Philosophy I think, since he founded Taoism and switched to it during my turnset I think, thus we DO need to be building Angkor Wat!! I think we should research towards Engineering, pop a Prophet from Delhi and burn him to get us towards Divine Right, how does that sound for a plan? Try to get the prophet before the Great Library cause after that our pool of Great person points will really be diluted.Kikinit said:Lets discuss what to do now. We are at what I see as a potential deal breaking choice as if one AI goes the other way we may miss a wonder. We have to choose DR or Engineering. Both will be 20+ turn techs and both lead to wonders. With luck, the AI will be too busy catching up their missing techs to go for these but we need to rush them in.
No need to panic, we are doing pretty damn good as far as I am concerned.
I am not surprised, I saw your turnset and then posted. When my post came up nOxie's report was already came up. So despite the date and time you see on those posts nOxie's and mine are really like 3-4minutes apartKikinit said:EDIT: woops.. I just realised that n0xie has played and I read Atlas's mail first.
To me this is one of those 'why didn't I think of that' moments. This is a great idea I think. We can rush the prophet whilst also doing engineering and get both techs in about 20 turns or so instead of chosing one or the other.n0xie said:... Also I would propose forcing a Great Prophet in Delhi (switch to Pacifism + 3-6 Priest Specialists) to get DR instead of putting beakers into it since I would say Engineering after CS...

I hope for you all that Alex doesn't have a Great Engineer sitting at home - after all he is Philosophical. He could screw your game by rushing Angkor Wat...
Anyway, great game so far !![]()
