nice pace

and nice catch-up in score you were 730 points behind, now 460 or so! you population seems to be exploding

[g_storrow]

Well 1 of the only things I have higher than you is crops. I am only abotu 5 techs behind you now!

and GNP you are close. but in productivity you are far behind.

how do you know about 5 techs? were you secretly loading my turn?

well, i guess it is 4, going on 5. rifling, railroads, the infantry tech and recently combustion. and i'm delaying the painful loss of the monastery research and colossus obsoleteness until the last moment...

i presume you are delaying rifling for parthenon, right? chichen itza is anyhow not worth anything with gunpowder units and later...

[g_storrow]

where is the parthenon?

[sabrewolf]

i thought you had it?
at least i'm pretty certain that i did not get it/build it

[sabrewolf]

ok, i checked... saladin built it around the time dauphin got eliminated, so just 10 turns or so before saladin himself was gone. i don't know which city, but you have either captured or destroyed it

btw, i finished statue of liberty with just a few dozen hammers missing and have switched to other stuff now.
are you 5 turns off producing it now?

[g_storrow]

about that.

You don't want me on your land and you have chosen facism as a civic.
Are you gonigto be attacking me straight away.

[sabrewolf]

no, no! no worries!
i meant that i had RESEARCHED fascism, not that i converted to it... i just wanted to delay scientific method and astronomy for as long as possible. now i have run out of alternatives

besides, we are still at turn 35 out of 50. if you are worried i might attack you before, then frequently check out the power graph... i'm doing so too to prevent being surprised by you

so, how many turns to SoL?

[g_storrow]

I think 5 turns last time I looked.

you'll be delighted to know that you have plenty of oil within your borders...

sorry about the locked cavalry... but it's not like i didn't warn you.
in a few turns the borders of laphroiag will expand and you'll be "free" again...
