TURN 95
demo
[Image: demo_t95.jpg]
btw, at 100% science, my GNP is 90, but I'm still 3rd. It seems there are 2 economy leaders, probably Furungy due to Fin and good score and Bacchus (?) due to GLH. Others are down.
Anyway, it's rather good for me: soon I would have financial boom, dominate others in techs, while being solid enough in prod & food, while (it seems) other economy leaders have less potential

Myki have sent 4th of 5th open borders trade request. While having an island (soon two) cities, I declined. But now send an offer open borders + fish, gems (I have both resources doubled) vs ivory (he has only 1).
Am I correct, that he would recieve only 1 foreign oversea trade?

He'll probably get a 3 gpt trade route for each of your island cities and a 2 gpt route for each of your mainland cities. Your island cities will get 3 gpt trade routes with him while your mainland cities won't benefit. So it'd be a pretty level deal if it was only the two of you playing.

But it's not just you two playing - you want to improve your position compared to six other players, so even if the deal was weighted against you I'd still recommend taking it - sure you're helping out your closest neighbour, but he's not a threat anymore is he? Once you've met other players I'd close borders with him again.

He managed to recover. His total number of cities is 6, while I have 7 (soon 8); prod is nearly equal; food is significantly worth ~95 vs ~70; my GNP at collecting is nearly his at science (though I have more culture).

If nothing extreme happens he's doomed, yes. But still he would be rather tough target, unless visible iron is the only available at the continent.

But still +1 (+2 gpt) vs +7(+8 gpt) isn't a good deal for me, just for that low +1 or +2. Having excess luxury resource could help though. At least until calendar.

Amazing. Somebody have completed Masoleum of Massoleous, and I even haven't started researching Calendar.
And I\ve been mistaken. Gavagai was in anarchy, so nevermind am I on 100 or 0% of research, my GNP is 4th. So thoughI dominate Myki, I'm behind tech leaders.

Ah, I didn't realise you don't have currency yet. Yeah, you need to meet someone else and get open borders with them instead!

Oh, Myki declared on me. Gladly, I prepared for this, so I don't think my casualties would be high

I usually screenshot with my mouse over the opposing stack, so folks can see what's there. saves the splainin'

Yep, tnx. I usually do the same way. but recently I discovered "snipping tool"

P.S. I really don't have ideas why Myki declared so stupidly. Maybe he thought he would be able to burn a new city of mine w/ only archer and immortal at garrison? It seems he's mistaken. And all those local conflicts are far better for me, then for him, due my traits.

Excellent news!
I've found Hum, make open borders w/ him and then a trade gems vs ivory!
He has 6 cities and it seems he's on another continent, so at least +6gpt next turn! It seems even more. It's rather crucial 'cause inflation began. And I'm at zero balance only at 30% science.

I've also found Gavagai on Myki's terrotory.
