Charriu and Jowy seem to be in a hot war - at least, it is still going on.
Have 2 swords headed to the barb city.
Mjmd is going into infra mode, which is good for me - he just switched into organized religion.
Superdeath didn't like my "I'll open borders, but you have to pay me" idea - I'm guessing he's fine with his island. So I didn't accept his return offer.

My invasion of Mjmd will take place in 4 turns, which gives me enough time to get my stack of axe/holkans over.
Interestingly, that will also be about when I take the barb city, which I noticed on turn 95. It is only growing 1 food a turn, so it should grow to size 2 around turn 95-97.
Mjmd has no units in his cap and he doesn't have construction.
More pics with a plan later.
I feel I should mention that both SD and Pindicator rejected my request for OB with them paying me. SD then offered OB back, which I rejected. This last turn, he offered me OB with me paying him, which I certainly rejected.
That said, I don't know how he did that. I mean, I didn't think you could ask for GPT if the other player was running a deficit. I wonder if he offered the 5 gpt back and I got confused?

My plan:
![[Image: pb52t110invasionplan.JPG]](https://dl.dropbox.com/s/qbz75dypbos6vr3/pb52t110invasionplan.JPG)
There are 2 swords by the barb city, labeled A and B. One of them (I think B, but maybe A) will get loaded on to the galley. The galley then moves to Tellurium. I load 2 units on it (I think axe/holkan, but I'm not sure. If it's holkan, it will end up being the one currently guarding the sugar).
The stack from C will move down and join the units in Tellurium, stopping at land D. The galley will stage to sea D. The worker will finish the sugar road and the slow movers move to E. Next turn, the galley moves to sea F, and the slow movers and chariots move to land F.
Hopefully, this leaves Mjmd with a problem and he can only get 1 unit to Pancakes and I can take that with holkan/axe - I'm really hoping that it's a chariot he puts there.
Alternately, they can be used to help take/reinforce Pork Chops. I'm hoping that will just have axes in it, so the chariots can hit it hard. I believe it will only have 1 or 2 units in it.
We will see.

Jowy has 5 ballistaphants just outside his cap, which means he's coming at me. *sigh* Well, I guess I still
Honestly, at this point he is up

on me. Pindicator and SD are locked in war - I think Jowy is going to win. I think he's going to run over either me or Charriu - unless one of us can speed bump him long enough for someone else to catch up, he's going to roll over the others with knights.

I currently hate this game.
Jowy and Charriu made peace.
It looks like Jowy is coming for me. He might be looking to attack Charriu, but I don't think he is. We opened borders, though, so maybe he's not? I dunno - 5 ballistaphants and a cat don't look friendly to me.

Sorry, lurkers. No blood with Mjmd.
WIth Jowy probably coming for me, I think I have to embrace my role as a roadbump. No reason to mess with Mjmd's game, so I'm going pull everything over to the other side again. I'm basically moving all my units back over. They won't get there in time to defend WhiteKeys, but I'll be able to beat the hell out of a further invasion force.
Jowy might be going after Charriu, but I can't trust it and Jowy hasn't really signalled peace with me.
Mr Cairo is, quietly, up to 14 cities.
Mjmd is up to 13.
Pindicator is on 13 and he ate Gira. Course, he and SD are locked in a war that isn't going to help either of them.
I suspect that Mr Cairo may end up winning this.

Jowy is now cutting roads in the jungle to cut off reinforcements. I'm currently not sure he'll even be able to take the city - he only has 1 catapult. bunch of elephants, but I'm on a hill with walls.

I declared on Jowy and killed a chariot that had been scouting. No more OB with Jowy.
Jowy offered a 10 turn peace treaty and for me to attack Charriu. I declined that, but did offer a peace treaty back. Assuming he accepts that, I'll offer fish/fish and copper/copper.
I'd be ok with an combined attack on Charriu, but I don't want to be the only one in it.

In other news, I'm 4 turns from a GS - dunno what I'm going to do with it. Academy? GA?
On my way to Aesthetics (why Aesthetics? - well, Paya, for Free Religion, which would help make up for not being financial or protective. Well, not really, but it would help.
Might change back to Calendar, if I'm going to be allied with Jowy.
