850: Bc

[binTravkin]

Events:
- our worker chopped forest for 82h finishing the Colossus (done once I hit endturn), thus ends our 3-wonder row

Sightings - see demographics table in screenie.

Need to decide how to move scout (screenie below).

[binTravkin]

Here's scout in a rather poor situation - it must go either back or along the coast.
I'd say at least for now let's continue along the coast.

[binTravkin]

The 44 crop yield is either Mercs (seeing how they have 4 cities I'd say it's possible) or Sarantium.
The 38 GNP is GS.

[binTravkin]

Any input about scout?
I'm gonna move it along the coast then and pass the turn on.

[-SafaN-]

continue exploring the coast, we can still find stepstones to the other continent

[binTravkin]

Sent.

Here's our score at the endturn

[PJayTycy]

Right.

With the barbarian in the North it was not really difficult to decide not to follow the river North.

Yay for Colossus ! I guess we also grew back to pop 4 in our capital ?

The last 3 turns were pretty cool... Let's make fun of the next few turns too, while peeling the bananas.

[binTravkin]

Yeah, the other teams must really be shocked us reaching 400ies in score while noone else even has 300, the three wonders, the massive tech score and a religion.

Next few turns will likely turn into drooling when at last we can kick Banana butt

But we must really put some effort in GNP.
We'll catch up in crop yield once our 4th city is there and when we conquer Bananas.
Income is crucial if we plan to ever win space race.


Ahh, and yes, we're 4 pop now and settler should be in 6 turns (a bit too long, but there's little we can do to speed it up).

[PJayTycy]

foreign intelligence :

AC : +27 points
pop growth in capital (3->4) : 4+3+3 pop : +6 points
collossus built : our 4th wonder : +21 points

GS : -12 points
2-pop whip in second city (4->2) : 5+2+3 pop : -12 points

Vox : +7 points
Discovered Priesthood : they now have 11 techpoints.
Apparently they changed research and are counting on us giving them iron working. It seems we never sent the proposal to them to not invest in tech anymore at all and use the gold for the war... hmm... As this is partly our fault, I don't think we can back-out of the iron working gift.

Horde : -6 points
1-pop whip in capital (4->3) : 3+2 pop



Power graphs:
no visible building/unit changes for anyone

[Impaler[WrG]]

So ware did the Holy City of Jewdism end up? Do we want to proclaim Yangism or Tassisism?

[PJayTycy]

The holy city is Xian

[binTravkin]

So it's Xianism

[PJayTycy]

Time for another apolytonian

3 wonders since the last edition!

Boy some teams have been busy!!

Let's see....

My wifes going in for surgery next weekend (outpatient, nothing major), so...let's shoot for the 25th, how's that sound?

Some teams right

Maybe we should ask snoopy what we can send in to the apolytonian, and how to do it anonymously, without even revealing the 3 wonders are built by the same civ.

[binTravkin]

They will be able to see in Top5 cities screen.
Right now Beijing aint one of the Top5, but once it hits 5 pop it should be 2nd if not first in that screen.

Our score should pretty much reveal where the wonders lay too

[Lacero]

I can't help thinking of a giant pyramid in the mouth of the harbour, where people go to get their fortune told by priests.
