Also, appologies for being inactive again. I ended up spending most of my (very limited) spare time and energy organizing last night's Offworld Trading Company tournament. I expect to be busy with work stuff until Wednesday. After that, my schedule should clear up significantly.

I'm just glad you're still with us. I was afraid my slow pace was turning people off. I'm working on a limited schedule and slowly getting back up to speed.
Thanks
m_cities is a funky variable-length array type (See FFreeListTrashArray.h for details). When you lose a city, its "spot" will get recycled (LIFO as far as I can tell), and if there are no free spots in the middle, then new cities are added to the end.Pollina said:
In 900BC, we:
- Gave away Fur City
- Gave away Hamburg
- Recaptured Fur City (goes in Hamburg's spot)
- Then in 875BC we captured Thebes (goes in Fur City's #2 spot)
Also reading along. I just got back in town after 5 days. I can be more active the next 10 days.

I'm in Poland without my Civ computer. In other word, I'll be as inactive as usual.
Like Pollina, I'm reading every post and will chime in when I can.

We also have GS spawnbusting who will need a replacement.
Goldcity will free up the HA to where only 2 units are needed down there.
Maybe swap out the HA with a cheaper unit when you get a chance.
should be some tech trade gold left on the table. Or you could beg for some.

We truly blew it not gifting Gandhi CoL. Delhi has no specialist buildings that I can see. Being philosphical he'd have produced a GS in a matter of turns.
Would he even switch to caste? i.e. would it have worked? is it too late? We have 10t yet, right?

PPP is getting close. The worker turns will allow the various failgold chops and everything else currently planned. We're still a couple hundred short on cash reserves, more or less. That's a turn or two. The failgold chops in Lisbon don't time properly, so that's probably a library instead. Maybe a library in Istanbul too. Five new warrior garrisons built.
Still have to finalize the city MM, especially Thebes, and war plans for Churchill and Darius/Gandhi.
Have a look.

Since we already have one beefy shock HA to clean up a yellow lined axe or spear at 70% I think the rest should be archer-killers (C4)

@PPP:
Munich 16h chop: yes
Workshop Paris: no, unless you're out of things to do with workers. You're not out of things to do with workers. Those citizens will be merchants soon anyway.
Istanbul: It depends what units they are, but I'd probably prefer units to a library since Istanbul is close to the fronts.
Hamburg: Are you going to run a citizen for 2 turns, so we pop borders and get the sheep sooner?
CEB: Is there a way to get 2 galleys here? Otherwise I guess we're going for a double landing on Churchill, going from north of SQ.
Delhi via Darius ASAP, please (i.e. skip Yaroslavl). I would plan on ploughing through Spice city rather than any shenanigans DoWing Stalin.
Great Generals = free knight upgrades (and general XP goodness)
I can see the point of settling one in Berlin if we're building a stable there (triple-promo out of the gate once we're in vassalage).
Giving away copper and iron? Fine by me. Mao still doesn't have IW.

Yes, there's that. I'll see what others say.
Yes, to get the worker chopping sooner.
Yes, I think so. Been debating that. I like the idea of an axe defender for our stack.
Right, no Stalin stuff. But I was still thinking of Pers-OtherGandhiCity-Delhi. Faster.
Hm...hadn't even thought of the vassalage. That's intense. Maybe work in stables after all.
Mao can use our iron even without IW, but he can't build swords, can he?Giving away copper and iron? Fine by me. Mao still doesn't have IW.
@Your other comments: Check.
That's right. No swords for Mao.
Watch for spice, incense from Sal
Beg 30 from KK?
Trade Gandhi CoL? for 30

Istanbul units sounds good. It'd be nice if conquest didn't end up being the long pole, but it probably is. I certainly won't be upset with a little unit overkill.
Evil mapmaker defense thought...
Let's not vassal anyone before we're 100% sure we can conquer everyone else. Example: we peace vassal Stalin only to find out that someone has some isolated, paratrooper-only city or ice castle. I can't recall...which civs, if any, started with more than 1 city?
