It's all yours again.

Btw, why did you presume it was me who founded Christianity?

[sabrewolf]

0680ad sent

it was just an assumption. i thought that you might probably want to prevent hannibal from getting his own religion so you have a chance to convert him to buddhism.
and as we know, the AI never goes for philosophy...
so that's what i would have done in your situation

or did hanni actually get it?

[GeoModder]

I'm afraid he beat me to it...
And in my experience I saw the AI (eventually) do going to Philosophy in other games.
(ah yes, of course, since you haven't contact with Carthage or me, you can't see which city founded the religion)

680AD back to you.

ah, too bad for you in that case... i guess you have to go kick some christian arse some day...

[GeoModder]

Hey, I needed a prelude to get a vassal anyway.

And you have the turn.

0740ad sent

but you'll need a very powerful army to get hannibal vassalised without a war, right?

[GeoModder]

Knowing your tendencies, I need a powerful army anyway.

you having a powerful army is good for me in two ways: a) you won't run off with techs as quickly as in EC4 and b) it will make me think twice and threetimes of attacking you overseas

[GeoModder]

Bah, you continue to be ahead by about 100 points, whatever I try.
In any case, I bet you were thinking I was running away with techs again seeing your reaction on the Theology thing.

Returned to you.

800 years after jesus and we only just learned how to cast iron!!!

[GeoModder]

And I just discovered that Hannibal only now has linked Iron to his empire.

Wait a second, you have forges but not iron casting? Or are those linked with metallurgy? Should check the civipedia...

Turn sent.

4th city --> 150 points ahead

as for forges: they come with metal CASTING, not IRON working... i mixed up those two.

[GeoModder]

Yeah, just figured that out.
You just founded your 4th city? Or has it expanded its borders already?

We have the same amount, but I never have so many points from one. I don't get it anymore.

Turn returned.

again regarding points: every tech gives equal points. i just 2 really "old" things (like riding) from ragnar for a new tech. i got twice the point jump he got, although taking the sum of all beakers, mine had faaaar more!
