Gandhi, oh Gandhi
He got my hopes up by sending a crossbow and a mace towards Carthage and Hippo. It soon became apparent, however, that the suckers were just on pillage duty.
So they had to die. Gandhi is much better off with whole towns than with the meagre pillage money. If he ever captures those cities, that is.
And speak of the devil.
I think I'll start working on a little dance to honor occasions like this.
That's it regarding Gandhi, except for me upgrading a frigate to a destroyer and hunting down some Indian caravels. Again.
"Glug glug glug to you, you annoying little suckmuppets. AHAHAHAHAA!"
Tech
I obtained democracy from Izzy. The trade was a bit in her favor but I didn't find it important.
Switching to universal suffrage and emancipation was important. It cost us three turns of anarchy but now we should be pretty set civics-wise for the endgame.
Next up was assembly line.
And then
Now we're going for electricity. Six turns with no beakers invested yet.
Other stuff
Mehmed is still teching like there's no tomorrow. Well, that'll be true once we decide to get Sirian doctrine on his backside. For now it's comforting to know that he has only one source of oil and that's in the ocean near Gaziantep. No tanks for him.
Brennus snatched the Kremlin, which sucks. Not a lot, but still. At least the compensation cash will come in handy.
Samarqand finished the Scotland yard and is currently on spy duty. We already have one lady in black, being ferried to the Indian mainland.
Despite the switch to US, I didn't rush-buy anything. I just let the current builds finish. A crapload of stuff will be completed in the next few turns. After that a factory round will be in order. Rushing should be helpful there.
I haven't got a clue on who's up.
Regardless,
play on.
