i have a question for GF: i want some buildings.
-how many vassals should i buy?

Right now they are most useful for labor markets that are small or very competitive. If you simply want to build a building don't buy vassals. If you are going to do resource conversion you might but 2.

-how much should i pay?

Depends on what you are using them for. Labor can run as high as $100 a turn. But vassals cost 1/2 the selling price of food per turn.

-what buildings do you suggest?

BREWERY. Right now if you are the ONLY Brewery in a market you will get 100% of the money no matter how much you sell. In BHQ with a demand of 12 if I sell 6 ale I will get 12/6 or $200 x 6 = $1200. If I sell 2 I will get 12/2 or $600 x 2 = $1200. As long as you are the ONLY Brewery in that city's radius you are in the money. Now when we have wine that can be sold in any market it may not be so easy.

However, on that one tile of yours that has three radii touching it I would build a Brewery or a Racetrack. We have three people who own horses now.

-where should i out them

Timeline and Gaia do not have Breweries yet and their market is 14 (or $1400 a turn).

-could you list my land properties?

I will later, I have to go run an errand right now.

Seriously people, why you haven't been building Breweries I don't know.

Ghengis, there seems to be a small problem with the math from turn 10. My reckoning from your posted results.

$775 end of turn 9

390 5 food @ 78
195 5 food bonus
132 2 shield @ 66
218 2 Horse @ 109 to players
84 1 commerce
42 1 commerce bonus
-----
$1061 Total income turn 10

$1836 Balance forward

Your post shows me as income of $606 and balance forward of $1381. Should it be $1836 or $1381? Where is the difference?

[Apocalypse]

Any suggestions on what I should do?

[notyoueither]

Apoc. Sell your 2 food and 2 commerce. Min $1 each.

That will get you some cash. Once you have some cash you can plan on buying shields and hiring labour to build improvements.

[notyoueither]

I will buy 1 of your food and 1 of your commerce for D:S + $10 if you wish to earn a small premium.

I can sell them through my buildings for a slightly larger premium.

/Edit. I can take both commerce.

[notyoueither]

Ghengis. I was looking at I, G, and F. Can we reach an arrangement?
