[spoilers] Pindicator and Regoarrarr - Bismark of Ethiopia

[regoarrarr]

But more importantly, in foreign news,

a) Nakor took our deal So we'll want to log in here before the turn rolls and swap some builds over to rifles.

b) He then whipped / drafted 6 times. He very well may have kicked off a GA - he got a Great Engineer last turn

c) Azza whipped 4 times, which was promptly countered by him losing 3 cities to Krill

[pindicator]

More importantly Krill got a tech mid-turn before taking those 3 cities. Hopefully that means we have more gold

I dont think we re-offered anything to Krill.

[pindicator]

Oh, I remember telling you to

[regoarrarr]

Oh no you dii'nt

[COLOR="Lime"]me: we also could offer him nationalism
or we could just try to signal a trade embargo vs krill[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Pindicator: i kind of like that idea...
if we can slow down the tech trading in any way, i think that's going to benefit us
now that we have good demos
brb
Pindicator: hey, i gotta run. we got a house thing that came up[/COLOR]

After which he proceeded to have his "win-win"

[pindicator]

shoot, i guess i did agree to that

[regoarrarr]

Logged in real quick this morning but probably don't have enough time to play the whole turn.

Commodore did get Chemistry but I don't think from us - it also looks like (judging from his 800g still available) that he only paid about 500g for it. I'm offering it to Azza for 603 of his 762g.

Krill got a GSci - if I'm reading the tea leaves right it will bulb SciMeth.

Scooter took 2 more of Nakor's cities (man that boy is hurtin) and BRick also retook a city of Scooters?!?

We can do Liberalism in 3t of max sci, or Sci Meth in 5t. Regardless, we only have enough gold stored up to run about 3t. At breakeven (561bpt @ 50%) we're at 6t or 10t. So without any more gold infusions, we are looking at 13t to Lib and Sci Meth, and then probably another 13t to Communism

Currently our only tech selling opportunities are Chemistry to Azza (which I offered) or Nationalism / Rifling to Krill (which I have not).

Don't look now, but we're only 2200b behind Scooter. He has Liberalism to our Divine Right and Horseback Riding (). Though he has 4700g stored up, compared to Krill's 4400 and our 1366.

Also founded the new city of "Standup and Win"



Who were the ad wizards that came up with this one? (settling so close to Scooter). Gotta get that stone.

[regoarrarr]

Also, we only have 2 banks (out of 7 needed for Wall Street), so we are going to need to build a few more. Like I said yesterday, I hadn't been prioritizing those as much given that we have been running at max sci for so long, but we're probably going to need to build some now.

[pindicator]

I would say 5 banks to go in commerce / merchant cities. We should have enough time to build them in low hpt spots if we start now:
