Per MapStat, Fish in the Desert is about to riot.
Hmm?
Fish in the Desert (4) makes 5 red shields and 3 blue ones and is producing wealth? That doesn't make sense just now.
Cycle through the cities.
Hire a geek in
Champion City for one turn, market still in 1.
Work the sugar in
Sugar Choke, not the hill; grow in 13.
Switch tiles around in
Spamalot, grows in 4, settler in 5. Previously it was grow in 5, settler in 3.
Fire the geek in
Morning Mood by Grieg, works a hill, trebuchet -> courthouse in 16. This city has 6 red and 4 blue shields per turn.
Fire the geek in
ICS Style, Berserk in 6, not 7.
Wild Wild West, at size 3 makes 5 red and 3 blue shields; wealth -> courthouse in 27.
Lake Havasu vMusket -> courthouse in 17 (4 red/3 blue).
Denver is another size 3 city making 5 red and 3 blue; wealth -> courthouse in 27.
Change the market to library in
Monster Hill, at size 2 and zero growth a market is not needed. Library in 4.
At
Fish in the Desert wealth -> courthouse in 40, since I hired a geek to keep the city happy.
Start a courthouse in
Desert Support.
Now I remember that we are in our Golden Age and the production numbers are high.
In
Wild Wild West we start a settler.
Lake Havasu goes back to a Musket build. Like Wild Wild West,
Denver starts a settler. So does
Fish in the Desert and
Desert Support.
