Lots to do this turn. Invention comes in, queue up Gunpowder.
Begin the turn with 507g, +238gpt. Gunpowder in 17.

Looks like TNT got a little froggy...and jumped.
City builds:
Ignoramus Settler>Library?
Crackhead Market>Library
Devil's Soul Galley>Worker
DuMass Trebuchet>Library
F-checks: Strong to all. MIA now has a full 20 points on us in score, 4 points on us in world area, and 3 points on us in population. We're still dead last in approval.
TNT has advanced troops on Spite. Eight Pikemen and a horse. That's the dangdest excuse for a Stack o' Doom I think I've ever seen. What are they gonna do with that?
Worker Stuff: JB roads near Dionysus. Unnamed worker at Senilityville helps with a jungle chop on the spices. FizzleWizzle the slaveboy helps an unnamed worker with a mine at Cyprus Creek. Bootsy does a forest chop at DuMass. DeeDee roads a plain at Crackhead. Ginger roads a marsh near Senilityville. TNT POW to grass S of Spite.
City Management: Hire a Scientist at Fortress of Stupidity. Change all tax collectors to Scientists. Gunpowder in 13 at 223gpt. MM Simpleton for a shilling. MM Ignoramus for food and gold. Tile-swap Notthefullshilling and Ignoramus to get some more shields for Ignoramus' Library. MM Gilfach for shields. It grows next turn, and is currently netting 10spt. Idiote starts whaling, and gets mm'd for food. Tile swap between Cretinograph and Cyprus Creek to speed growth in Cretinograph. Rush the harbor in Malice for 116g.
Rushes/Short Rushes:
24g to a longbow short rush of Paradise Hotel's court.
28g to a Trebuchet at Fortress of Stupidity.

Treb at DuMass placed between Crackhead and Nincompoopicity. Treb at Nincompoopicity joins it. Regular Pike to Spite, Veteran Pike out of Spite to cover worker. Two full-strength Elite Gallics are sent to cover the workers after doing battle w/ TNT (below). Gallic Swordsman Eastern Sentry is sent back to the Eastern Zone. Peapants back to the mountain at Senilityville. Fortify a Pike in Nincompoopicity.... so MIA's hoplite can see it. Fortify Flyin' Elvis and 2 Veteran Pikes on the site of Auda City. GS Butterball heads for Wilde Side.
Unnamed Galley at Devil's soul heads out to sea.
Bede's Boat and Danny Buoy are positioned for ship-chaining. Fool's Errand and Chumbucket head back to Frozen Lake.
On the front:
Settler to rockpile. Auda City claims Ivory next turn.

City Builds:
Simpleton Longbow>Longbow
Dunderhead Longbow>Longbow
Jesterton Library>Galley
SKWTD Pikeman>Pikeman
Polecat Pikeman>Pikeman
Notthefullshilling Galley>Worker
Senilityville Walls>Worker
Fortress of Stuipidity Trebuchet>Trebuchet
Malice Harbor>Galley
Begin the turn with 134g, +118gpt, Gunpowder in 6.
Diplomacy Note: Team Doughnut did not initiate diplomacy this turn. There was no payment sent for Spices. Furthermore, they did not accept the spices we sent. We need some dialog with these guys ASAP. They could very well be up to something dodgy.
F-Checks: We're strong militarily. Pop v. MIA is 18-22. Land is 29-31. Score is 897-922; not good. Our approval rating is 67%. That should improve this turn.
Worker Moves: SimpleMonkey and G-man mine a BG/Tobacco at Gilfach. Lenny irrigates some grass near Cretinograph. Crakie moves to help our road network in our newly acquired lands. TNT POW starts roading between Spite and the rockpile.
Unit Moves: Settler at Dresden moves for the coast. Settler near Polecat works SW. Auda City founded this turn, claiming Ivory. This one lux takes our approval rating from 67% to 79%, ranking us second in the world. Our towns with markets now have 6 happy faces, which means we can grow 'em to size 12 on native lux.
Dispatch a Trebuchet from Fortress of Stupidity to Senilityville. Two Longbows from Knucklehead towards Frozen Lake. Longbow from Jesterton to Devil's Soul. Longbow from Simpleton to Jesterton. Longbow from Dunderhead to SKWTD. Longbow from SKWTD to Knucklehead. GS Eastern Sentry returns to the eastern shore. Pikeman at SKWTD to Knucklehead. Pike at Knucklehead towards Frozen Lake. Weezer heads to the coast to eliminate a blind spot left when GS Butterball headed out for Wilde Side. Polecat's Pikeman heads west. New Galley at NTFS heads west.
City Management: Gilfach grew last turn, and is now netting 11spt. We may need to help this market build along... but that can wait. Swap Devil's Soul to a Galley. MM Cretinograph for shields and swap to a Library. Swap Knucklehead to a Longbow. MM DuMass for shields. Ignoramus grows next turn, which will take a few shillings off unit support. MM Notthefullshilling to let Ignoramus use the mined hill to shave a turn off the Library build at Ignoramus. Crackhead grows next turn, and will hopefully help itself with the library build.
Rushes/Short Rushes this turn:
28g to finish a Trebuchet at Dionysus.
44g to finish a Pike at Cretinography, swap to Library due in 7.
20g to a worker at DuMass, to shave a turn off the Library.
Actions at the TNT Front: No combat this turn, just Logistics. Load a Trebuchet onto Chumbucket at Frozen Lake. Load a Pike and MDI onto Fool's Errand. Hunky Dory moves into Frozen Lake. Hand off to Danny Buoy and an unnamed Galley. Bede's Boat heads back to Frozen Lake. An unnamed Galley heads to Frozen Lake. This will give Hunky Dory (2/3) a chance to heal. Shuffle 5 Trebs to the tile NE of Auda City.... cover w a couple of MDI and a fortified Gallic.
Tempted to upgrade an archer at EWR, but I'll hold on that.
End the turn with 42g, +125gpt, Gunpowder in 6.
We also went up a point in land area, and went up substantially in approval ratings. Let's see if that closes the score gap a bit, or at least keeps MIA from getting away from us at a rate of 5 points/turn.
Builds due next turn:
Cyprus Creek - Trebuchet
Idiote - Library
Knucklehead - MDI
Village d'Idiota - Market.
Dionysus - Trebuchet (need to try to get 1 per turn until the MIA war).
Grab a screenie of the front, and some areas we need to do a little dotmapping.
As the turn ends, Daghda finishes a forest chop into DuMass' Library.

The Doughnut Mullet-head... er... Leaderhead shows up offering 15gpt+Theology for Spices. Done.
City Builds:
Cyprus Creek Trebuchet>Worker
Idiote Library>Barracks (first one of those I recall queue'ing up...)
Knucklehead Longbow>Redux
Village d'Idiota Market>Granary
Dionysus Trebuchet>Redux
Begin the turn with 183g, +141gpt, Guns in 5.
F-checks and such: We could have Education in 5 turns from this juncture...which means at least one (more likely 2) other civs already know it. We're technologically advanced, and strong to the world. Land: 19 to MIA's 22. Pop: 29 to MIA's 32. They're still getting away from us in score, though not as quickly: 910 to 938. (They gained 5 points on us last turn, only 3 this one.)
The latest uptick in the power graph is... us.
Interesting... we're at 80% approval, but suddenly we've slipped to third in approval rating. Someone upped the lux slider last turn.
Worker stuff: Crakie roads that all-important tile between Spite and Auda City. Grasshoppa moves to a plains tile at Simpleton. Bede mines at Village d'Idiota. AnsarTheKing mines grass at Crackhead. Bubba has finished roading a Jungle at Fortress of Stupidity, and moves over to help Scruffy clear some Jungle. They'll finish in 11. KC moves to help 2 other workers chop jungle at EWR. An un-named worker starts a jungle chop at Cyprus Creek.
City Management: MM Knucklehead for a couple of shillings. We need this cultural expansion at Crackhead; it's borrowing tiles from our FP city. MM Ignoramus for Food. Fire a couple of scientists. MM Frozen Lake for food.
Rushes/Short Rushes this turn:
36g into a MDI at Gilfach for the Market build.
8g into a MDI at Cretinograph for the Library build.
48g to finish a galley at Devil's Soul.
28g into a worker for Dresden's Trebuchet Build.
52g into a MDI for DuMass' Library (Forest chop due this turn)
36g into a worker for Malice's Galley Build.
36g into a worker at Auda City, swap to Walls.
Unit Stuff: A pike at Dunderhead goes to SKWTD. Galley on the northern coast heads west. Treb at Dionysus heads inland. Treb at Cyprus Creek heads towards MIA. Longbow at SKWTD to Knucklehead. A pair of Longbows at Knucklehead go towards Frozen Lake. Longbow at Jesterton to Devil's Soul. Longbow at Devil's Soul to Frozen Lake. Knuckleheads' Pike heads towards Frozen Lake. Hunky Dory takes a breather to heal in Frozen Lake. With MDI and Trebuchets in the Eastern Zone, GS Eastern Sentry heads west.
Settler near DuMass heads towards Senilityville. Settler near the west coast approaches a spot.
At (and towards) the Front: Load a Pike onto a Galley at Frozen lake. Load 2 Longbows onto Bede's Boat. Bede's Boat Moves out. Let's see... if I make that the point element in the D-Day landing... I can land in 4 or 5 turns. Time to see if I can shave a few turns off that 8 or 9 turn estimate I gave the team.
Fool's Errand and Chumbucket head back to Frozen Lake. Danny Buoy and an unnamed Galley are re-positioned in the ship-chaining lane. A.R.S.E. Igor's Hope is awakened and dispatched to Malice.
D-Day ship-chaining analysis: (1bpt to Bugs and G-man)
Let's see... Bede's Boat is one turn out to sea... with 2 boats underneath ready for ship chaining. I've got 4 boats in Frozen Lake...
Next turn (133): two will load out next turn, and ship-chain, keeping up with Bede's Boat.... putting 3 of 4 boats off the coast of Malice. This will leave 2 in Frozen Lake, 2 in the shipping lanes... and ... A.R.S.E. Igor's hope can rendezvous with the Task Force (need a name for this one...) at Malice.
Turn after (134): I can get 2 more longbows loaded out... ship chain to the lane, ship chain to the two left from the previous turn... and keep up with Bede's Boat ...which will make it to the tile that A.R.S.E. Igor's Hope was fortified on at the beginning of this turn. This may be the point of no return. From here I can get these troops back to the beachhead to reinforce our positon on the other continent.
From the point of no return we will be 2 turns from landing at Grenadapolis. So that puts D-Day... four turns from now... right? @Bugs, is this any better? So do I have your permission to take it to TNT's SE Flank in 2 turns?
Builds due next turn:
Simpleton: Longbow
Dunderhead: Longbow
Jesterton: Galley
EWR: Walls
SKWTD: Pikeman
Polecat: Pikeman
Notthefullshilling: Worker
Nincompoopicity: Worker

Log for Turn 133.
Sorry, this isnt as detailed as Im a bit scatterbrained.
Diplomacy
Nada
City Builds:
I basically repeated the city builds till I could get a look around
Simpleton longbow -> LB
Dunderhead LB -> LB
Jesterton galley -> galley
Effing W.R. walls -> settler
SKWTD pike -> pike
Polecat pike -> pike
Notthefullshilling worker -> rax
Devils Soul galley -> galley
Nincompoopicity worker -> worker
F-checks and such:
Nada
Worker stuff:
Moving workers and forget to record it all. The POW refugee near Auda City begins planting a forest on the fur nearby.
City Management:
MM Jesterton off Iron and onto mined grass. Galley still in 2, grow in 3T vs 5T
MM Auda city to the irrigated ivory for growth. In fact, I change Malice to grow as well. With the fish, we can get more than 1 sci or tax collector from this town.
Change Malice to walls instead of a galley
Found Apefish near the bananas and fish on our Western coast.
MM Ignoramous off irr wheat and onto FP (grow in 6T vs 4T, but it will really grow in 4T when I MM against next turn since theres 23food till growth and its doing 7fpt with wheat and 4fpt without).
MM Dunderhead off river grass and onto irr FP Wheat that Ignoramous left (grow in 1T vs 3T)
MM Simpleton onto FP Wheat for growth in 1T vs 2T
Rushes/Short Rushes this turn:
DuMass is 23s from a Lib, doing 7spt. Spend 12g shortrushing via granary to shave a turn off it.
Crackhead is doing 8spt, has 23 in the bucket. Shortrush a LB for 68g, then switch back to Lib to shave 3T off
Unit Stuff:
@ Frozen Lake:
Galley chain 2 LBs and 2 Pikes to Malice. Also, load 1 LB into a lone galley and send it. Not enough Galleys to chain, but itll be fine. Bedes Boat moves into Malice as well, giving us 4LBs and 2 pikes in the Navy. There are 2 more LBs near Frozen Lake that can get ship chained next turn to A.R.S.E. galley, which will give us a landing of 7 LBs and 3 pikes (Im going to peel one off from the beachhead).
I move the galley N of Simpleton back to the E. It can do a little protection work from an MIA landing over there.
At (and towards) the Front:
Rotate a pike from Auda City into Spite. That will be the one that joins the landing party.
D-Day ship-chaining analysis:
Galleys from Devils Soul and Jesterton head W.
I dont really see a ship chain setup yet? Talk to Scout on MSN and figure it out. All setup now.
Builds due next turn:
Frozen Lake gets a duct next turn. Seems weird, but the plan is to irrigate the grass and work the mined tundra + mountain. Probably for some quick galleys.
End the turn with 85g, +128gpt, Gunpowder in 4.
Sorry, this isnt as detailed as Im a bit scatterbrained.

There are 2 more LBs near Frozen Lake that can get ship chained next turn to A.R.S.E. galley, which will give us a landing of 7 LBs and 3 pikes (Im going to peel one off from the beachhead).
I move the galley N of Simpleton back to the E. It can do a little protection work from an MIA landing over there.
At (and towards) the Front:
Rotate a pike from Auda City into Spite. That will be the one that joins the landing party.
D-Day ship-chaining analysis:
Galleys from Devils Soul and Jesterton head W.
I dont really see a ship chain setup yet? Talk to Scout on MSN and figure it out. All setup now.
Builds due next turn:
Frozen Lake gets a duct next turn. Seems weird, but the plan is to irrigate the grass and work the mined tundra + mountain. Probably for some quick galleys.
End the turn with 85g, +128gpt, Gunpowder in 4.

Worker stuff:
Lots to do.
City Management:
MM Ignoramous and Dunderhead between the irrigated FP Wheat and a roaded river tile.
Switch Polecat (doing 19spt) from a pike to a granary. Town needs to grow faster.
Ditto for Jesterton. Having these core cities small is not helping things, and we have enough galleys and towns building galleys
Rushes/Short Rushes this turn:
Idiote shortrushes a rax via a pike for 32g
Jesterton shortrushes LB, switches to granary, and is MM’d for 20spt
Knucklehead shortrushes a LB via a pike
Unit Stuff:

Load 2 LB’s onto Fool’s Errand, ship chain them to Chumbucket 3T W, which I then shipchain to A.R.S.E. Igor’s Hope in Malice
Unit block setup between Nincompoopicity and Crackhead.
At (and towards) the Front:
A.R.S.E. Igor’s moves 2T N and finds an MIA galley (see below)
Move the Arse 1T S to look like it’s on a defensive mission.
Hunky Dory, with 1LB, moves into Malice
Macho Galley, an empty shipchain galley, moves into Malice with the others. I want one empty galley as cover, and this one is a vet so it’s perfect.
Devil’s Choice Galley moves into Frozen Lake
D-Day ship-chaining analysis:
We have 7LB’s and 3 pikes ready. Just need to know what that damn MIA galley is doing.
Turn after (135): Check for the MIA galley again. If it’s just sitting there, then the cover is blown and we should just go for it as it won’t be moving anytime soon.
For the unit block in the East, we need to road the coast and build enough troops to block between Idiote and Crackhead.

Looking at F3, we have 127 units, but supporting only 48, Paying 158gpt in unit costs. We also have 5 warriors. Disband 1, will disband more warriors next turn as I need to dig them out of jungles and stuff. I may upgrade vets depending on short-rush needs. I also may start to join workers as we’re paying a lot of gold for jungle choppers.
Ships move out of Malice. The MIA galley has not moved, so we are blocked 1T. This also delays our landing by 1T, but move the units out. May land short of Grenadapolis instead of long.
At (and towards) the Front:
Move units out.
First move Bugsy’s Blade (vGS) NE, N out of Spite. He finds a reg pike SE of the ivory.
Josey Wales (eGS) moves 2x NE, finds empty forest.
SoD moves NE out of Spite. It consists of 6 Trebs, 2 vPikes, 6vMDI’s, 1eMDI. At least 2 eGS’s, possibly more can join the SoD next turn when it plants on the forests W of Unabomb.
Defenses in Auda City are 1vPike, 1rPike, 3GS’s, 2 trebs.
Defenses in Spite are 2vPikes, 4 GS’s, 2 trebs.
2 more LB’s will be shipchained next turn. They can either help with defending our cities or join the landing party as I do have 1 empty vGally traveling with the pack (defensive purposes)

Town has a vPike protecting it.
vLB dies to vPike (3/5)*
vLB dies to 3/5 pike (1/5)*
vLB dies to vImm (1/4)*
vLB kills 1/5 pike, promotes (4/5)*
vLB kills ¼ LB (2/4)*, and we capture the town. Debate razing it, so consult AK and BeF
Since there’s an SoD of units to the S (we could not count, but it looked like 5 units to me, plus the 2 others nearby) we raze the town + capture Trebs + get 3 slaves.
Notice that this town was on a gold hill, so that hurts even more.
Move 2 slaves to Perky galley, the rest of the trebs and workers to the hill N of the ruins
¼ and 2/4 pikes move to hill as well.
Bugsy’s Blade moves NW, W, razes road, then NE to hill.
vLB from SoD heads E, along with the other vLB’s up near the Iron

Here is turn 146 played by the Venerable Monk:
Bede said:Armies are strong to all according to Millie of Mil Intel.
Could find no reason to mess with g-mans's management other than making a tax collector at Igno as the only field available was an unroaded forest that if worked would bring the settler in 1 turn before growth, or change any worker assignments other than to gang some workers onto a banana plot in the west.
Started a trained musket on the road to the MIA front.
Wasted some coin trying to spy into MIA's town on Battle Isle, then realized I won't see it in the Embassy screen until I can see it on the map DUH!
Didn't spend any money other than 20g to finish a settler in a town that lacked productive fields and could spare the population.j
And now for a really bad choice
Battle Log
On the coast at Jesterton
KISS Devil's Choice vs TNT Western Expedition - Devil's Choice sunk. TNT Western Expedition 1/3
But at least he won't make it home.
Boated a couple of LB's over to Battle Isle then chose the wrong boat and left a settler sitting on the dock of the bay.....
Covered the slave at Spite then covered Spite with the ariving LB
Shifted the trebs down closer to the stack at Dyno, then moved trebs and pikes out of Dyno to the forest at Dancing Banana
My assessment is that TNT now has a Hobson's choice. They can hammer on the stack between Semtex and Dancing Banana, but that will leave most of it standing, if wounded, but the trebs should be safe to support the troops healing in Dyno. And that will leave the major portion of their remaining troops crippled.
Or they can leave it alone and move into Dancing Banana and can try and hurt us in two directions, but which ever way they go will leave a major portion of our troops healthy while they are crippled.
The other choices aren't really worth considering as they will lose the capitol.
Of course I may have completely erred in my assessment of the relative strengths and they will now proceed to chew us up.
Nonetheless it will be fun to watch.
