Nothing red in the event log. Mackoti didn't attack but he's positioned his units intricately, so he must have a plan.
He birthed a great artist in Thebes. That's a bit inconvenient. He can settle near puck and culture bomb to reclaim a lot of land. We can settle that hill we're planning to block any cities from being founded, but I guess Mack could still bomb Ephesus orThebes and I'm not sure if that would flip our city.
I have to run.

There has been some fascinating strategy on both sides. novice Wrote:He birthed a great artist in Thebes. That's a bit inconvenient. He can settle near puck and culture bomb to reclaim a lot of land.

Well we can get a missionary in straight away, popping borders in 5 turns, and we'll need a whole bunch of units in there anyway. So it might be ok. It's worth working out which tiles he will control if he does that - we wouldn't want the supply line from Puck interrupted.

How many units are needed to keep a city unflippable? Don't know that, but if you mouseover the culture bar it will tell you the odds of revolt. IIRC, the first revolt never flips a city so you have a bit of safety margin at least.

Yeah, I think it's three strikes and you're out. And from my SP games I think 15-20 units, which we may well have in there anyway, should be enough to keep the odds below about 3-4%. EDIT: Or two strikes, novice says. Anyway, mackoti would presumably strike at our injured units (from a revolt) with his knights.

A city sometimes flips on second revolt. A city always (I believe) flips on the third.
