T54: Our Brussels levy expires this turn, but it's no real issue as only two Warriors were left mulling around the stalled English front. Amani meanwhile arrives in Buenos Aires and reveals Sun Wukong. We currently have 7 Bonus resources, so Buenos Aires ability provides a nice boost to happiness.
They also have 5 Warriors which we can levy for 200g. Somehow only 2 have the Spear of Fiorn promotion. That seems odd since the CS is adjacent to the wonder, so in theory each new unit should get the promotion instantly - I guess maybe some of the starting Warriors spawned away from it? Anyway, we can march the unpromoted ones back to the wonder and upgrade 1-2 to Men-at-Arms to crush Spain next.
Magnus arrives in Minou Harbor, were we have an Archer one turn from completion. We can chop 200h of forests to complete the Archer to trigger Machinery and then overflow into Kilwa. The 200h is boosted to 262h thanks to Autocracy plus Brussels ability. Unfortunately we are a mere 5f short of another Builder, so it will be 2 turns instead of 1 turn until we can wrap up this wonder.
Sailing to explore, one of our captured Builder meets Sweden. The bad news is they are already walled up, and also are building Pyramids which we had hoped to grab with Imotep. Sadly we don't have any DF to sell to them, but they will at least buy Honey for 148g and 8 Iron for 57g.
In other infrastructure news, Tabopolis creates a Coffee Industry, which provides a strong tile plus a nice 20% boost to culture (the city has 5.7c currently). Tab University chops a 4th HM, as we get ready to pillage our way through the Khmer lands and continue east to where the final AI should be located (Khmer and Scotland both know one mystery AI, so they should be in that region).
One real head scratcher is the US has a Great Writer wandering around. Not sure how they pulled that off so early without a single Theater Square...
Finally, we have Dundee sieged up but a Catapult has spawned and one of our Horsemen is in danger. With reinforcements rushing in from the north and Himoko on the scene, we should capture the city next turn, along with a juicy Builder.
Techs: Machinery
Culture: 49.7cpt (thanks to small boost from Coffee plantation)
