Turn 163 : 480AD

[Cort Haus]

Spices from ND, 20gpt from RP.

EotS completes our third University, and Bolderburg can finally get its mkt with some adjustment in shield phase. It could do Magellans in 40 turns ...

No big questions really. ND have both Gems and Ivory - perhaps we could see if they want to trade one of those for Incense - we'd see some WLTK benefit. Shall we send them Incense unnacepted?

[Cort Haus]

Seeing as we expect Lego to top Vox up in tech (unconfirmed), and 20 turns of furs is not really enough for that tech, shall we offer them 40 turns of fur? We've nothing to lose and some to gain by letting them have their furs now. It would make the F4 trade screen look good too - trades with all civs

[DeepO]

40 turns of fur for demo is a good price, if you ask me. But let them ask for something before mentioning it ourselves.

Erhm... CH, it's Bolderberg, not burg... I used to live there for over 20 years

If RP doesn't build Magellan, we might need to do it, yes. we should make a (joint) decision here quickly, to not risk losing prebuilds, or the wonder itself. Personally, I would rather have it in RP's hands, for the simple reason that no-one will expect them to start invasions, while they might be scared of us if we go more naval. OTOH, we don't have much navy left, and it might trick others in thinking we focus on naval activities a lot.

Start

Accept spices-furs deal with ND.
Accept RP's 20gpt and WM

On reflection, we can't open another trade with ND this turn - only one trade per turn works in PBEM, I think.

Also, the newly traded lux doesn't count for happies in the shield phase and we lose the WLTK in Eliopolis, leaving it a shield short of temple in 2. Damn. Never mind, Inchon will get some extra shields next turn.


EotS builds Uni, starts temple.

Scoll through to BB and adjust so it can complete mkt.

Cyclone builds worker, starts worker.

BB completes mkt, starts temple - could be lib, bank, prebuild for Magellan ...

Tempest completes Temple, starts Cathedral


Moves & MM

GoW's galley has withdrawn to Port Isol-9

Coast is literally clear for NE pike and MI on Forest to withdraw. Other units shuffle south.

One galley near Port Isol heads clockwise, rest shuffle clockwise a place.

Rest of Northern galleys move towards forming a shield around San Diego.

Southern sea galleys continue homewards - one will disband in Typhoon to push the aqua.

Worker nr santa Barbara irrigates

WoC only needs 2s for templ, so grass irrigated for extra 2 food and growth this turn. It's fun MMing cities with workers!

Decided against irrigating Diss for now - it only complicates things and probably won't help much.

Started 2 workers on a fortress on Inchon's Iron.

Moved 4 wrks nr Santa Ana north

Moved 5 souther workers to forest for chop when Sufa's aqua is finished.

Disbanded galley in Inchoff - aqua in 19 turns

MM'd OG & Tempest to get Tempest back to 21 spt for possible Newton's prebuild (via cath, bank)

Changed Sandtorm for a settler next turn.

Banking in 3 turns, +13 gpt.

Turn sent.

[DeepO]

RP needs 2 defenders in SB to be absolutely certain the city won't flip. As it is, chances are around 1 in 2000 (per turn)

Cheers on doing another turn, CH

Or a temple - would be cheaper on build & maintainance.
