It's starting to get a little boring. Someone else do something protest

Change of plans. JR4 is 4-turning Machiner, so I'm getting HBR. Let the arms race begin.

A setback: JR4 built the Great Wall neighbouring my city where I was building it. At least I get failgold.

Things could be better. I'm starting to lose interest and drift. AGG Ikhandas is saving me ~40 gpt at this point, but somehow wetbandit has an incredible crazy GNP.

I'm not converting my early advantage well. Maybe I should have planned to HA rush Yuris about now. Or Dark Savant since he's still occupied with Charriu.

Arms race is on. That could be 9 CKN?

Was going to tech Calendar but I'll go construction first. Swords behind walls on hill and HA might hold off CKN, but I'd feel safer with cats and wellies.

Current game situation:

Charriu has been the easy green kill, and his neighbours benefit from that. I also have a lagging neighbour, yuris, and maybe I should have planned to hit him earlier.

Now JR4 has CKNs massing, and if he's being rational I don't think he wants to hit me. The maximum gains he can get is one city, and for that city I have walls on a hill and 40% cultural defence. I still need to be prepared for him hitting that city though, so construction next even though I really need calendar for happy.

I could sign a NAP with him (fish vs fish or fake war followed by peace treaty), but why give him a safe border? If he's careless or occupied fighting on the other end of his kingdom I want to keep the option of attacking his city myself with HAs.

JR4 offered OB last turn. DS offered fish for fish this turn. I don't think I'll respond, will keep my options open as I build cheap stables and HA.

Can't tell if this is a bad metagame decision and will worsen our relations, but it's something I'm comfortable with.

Plan:

Mass 5exp HA.When I'm ready to declare war, show JR a Catapult and then hit either Yuris (more likely) or Dark OT4E.

My power is somewhat inflated because of cheap Ikhandas (3k power points each, so at least 30k soldier points) and the stables I'm going to build. All the better to frighten my neighbours.

How things can go wrong: yuris beelines feudalism and goes into turtle mode, or JR4 throws CKNs at me in a mutually destructive war.
