[SPOILERS - PBEM19] Huayna Capac of Ottomans - yuris125 & Maestro

[yuris125]

The problem is, how can we assist? We can contribute maybe 5 Axes :P against almost certainly a lot of Longbows. Judging by their power graph, they don't need any assistance

You're right though, asking about Taj doesn't make sense. And the rest of the info isn't that important. So not a good idea probably

[yuris125]

Re Commodore's science, as far as I can tell, we have on him
Theo
Philosophy

He has on us
Archery
Alpha
Monarchy
Aest
Literature
Music
Machinery
Engineering

And we indeed could've gotten Nationalism in 2 turns by hiring a few scientists, so that was a mistake. I can only hope it doesn't cost us the wonder

[yuris125]

T95 - started chops for Taj, nothing else happened

[yuris125]

T96 - Whipped Barracks in Ultra as planned. Taj is still available

Popped a Settler out of Maximum, and sent him to the north-western corner. Will get an Axe out, then another Settler for the White dot. Ideally, we should have the first winery ready by the time we found White dot

An offer of open borders from MNG, which we still cannot sign. Told him this by email

[Maestro]

Fingers crossed! I believe we're to the point now where I can blame the turn order if we lose Taj!

[yuris125]

I just hope I didn't make moves yesterday - I was playing SotS until 4am, when the save arrived decided to play the turn anyway, to receive the next save and know the result of the race as early as possible today

[Maestro]

Haha, I had noticed that you were playing the save very late for your time zone. You remembered to whip, which is the most important factor, so we should be fine. The other players should hurry up! The suspense is killing me!

Unrelated: SotS is... Sword of the Stars?

[yuris125]

Yes, Sword of the Stars. Very addictive game

[Nicolae Carpathia]

SotS always eats up insane amounts of my time because you can't save during the battle phase and go away to do another thing.

[Maestro]

GES built the Taj this turn.

I haven't actually played the turn out 'cause I'm sad. I'll do so later.
