[SPOILERS]Zara Yaqob of Byzantium and the Melancholies of Gawdzak and BaII

[BaII]

That would make a lot of sense, as we do have our GA coming up before we start phract build up if I remember correctly.

[Gawdzak]

We just met both WilliamLP and Retep, that's everybody.

Weirdly enough, Retep has Alpha despite being NTT game. Does he plan to bulb Philosophy? Well we get to see his techs:




He can also research Machinery.

Gavagai is also researching Alpha, he might be thinking about a Philo bulb since he just got a Great Scientist. He would also be able to see our research, which is unfortunate.

[Gawdzak]

Turn 127

We actually got the low odds Prophet, but we do the GA thing nonetheless. Advantages now is more important than advantages later.







The Moai actually working tiles:




Demos:

[Gawdzak]

Zanth declared war and sniped a couple of our workers. Well played, his chances of winning just reduced by 99%. :>

Patience. All will be revealed in time.

You know...served cold and all that.

Anyways, Azza built the Mausoleum of the Mausallos. He is next Barteq and Retep.

I think Azza has experienced enough defensive wars to lose the wonder to someone else easily, so good for him.

Wouldn't it depend on whether he built it in one of his core cities, as opposed to the nigh-inevitable Azza Pink Dot Special (APDS) that appears in most of his games? I don't know anything about this game really so I don't know if he did a APDS or not, but I assume if he's playing he did since, well, he always does. But what do I know, he has one more win around here than I do.

[Gawdzak]

I have no idea where he built the thing. Judging by the fact he hasn't been at war yet, he may have changed.

Or at least, he hasn't been punished for it. With hindsight, an unpunished pink dot is a perfectly good play. He's not doing well, but he's not doing terribly either.

Actually, sitting at the bottom of scoreboard as Sury for most of the game almost qualifies as terrible doesn't it?
