Turn 89, 800 BC

Turn sent.

I agree on sending it now, however I don't agree on delivering Feudalism to the world in 6 turns, instead of in 9 or 10. Not enough teams will go for it, and if we don't get paid back large part of that virtual loss, it becomes uninteresting. If we agree that we need cash in the next 10 turns, I think it would be best to get it (or at least not lose it) while others can't start on chivalry. But of course, that's my humble opinion.

Pyramids: we have been keeping very quiet on the public forum, so maybe this is a chance to do something about it. We could make some kind of message, telling that our Egyptian nation has started the pyramids in 6 turns, and one turn later post the next one saying we finished it. Maybe say something like "We don't build it to burry great leaders, just for the touristic attraction: you all are welcome to visit our country, we have plenty of fake Egyptian art you can buy as souvenir". If Grog ever dies, we can bury him in our great pyramids, etc. Just some fun, to get some debate going.

Other then with the GL, the pyramid will make it less likely that any civ will attack us: we enter our GA. Everybody will notice it in game, so why not try to bring part of that discussion out in the open, instead of keeping it in private forums. We can only gain by this, I think.

I think you're absolutely right. It'll be a great ice-breaker.

The five-turn delivery date makes sense only if we can attract sufficient interest in civs' paying extra to get it earlier. If we can, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If we can't, I agree that it's not worthwhile.
