Some random screenshots from last turnset.
First GPerson was a merch (settled), then two SCI for astro, then I got "unlucky" and got another merch who went for a trademission.
Academy at T180 isn't common!
Attack at T215.
Was trickling in abit into steampower as I had Monty/Shaka as a target (then Hammy) and wanted steampower from WvO in a trade. (Didn't happen until he was vassal).
The samurai did good in combat imho, but the fighting was tough and far more had to take defensive promotions than I like.
Shakas backstab. >_< Alot more units falling back for defense, but with those shaka-stacks I think things would have gone south quickly.
Apparantly noone really wanted this war.
Nasty Shaka hammered my city one more turn though and killed almost half a dozen innocent units.
Sure thing I can follow Islam Saladin, whatever the leader of mighty Arabia says!! (Just you wait untill I have tanks/bombers/nukes *grumble grumble*)
The upkeep situation became problematic.
I didn't fully realize how bad it was before this city got out of revolt.
Started making plans for getting forbidden palace up on my homeland, and move palace to the main continent. But I got really glad once I was what wonders Hammy built!
Situation got MUCH better with versailes.
There was some nice stuff in Babylon too, historically fitting hanging gardens the only thing out of significance.
Utlizing the cultural chaos after Hammys cities had fallen to sneak in a spearhead city.
This will probably be totally engulfed in culture, but if it doesn't flip I could load it up with units before a war declaration, gaining valuable time.
