Yeah... It's a lot. And yeah I had to reduce culture by 10% this turn, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to effect it much because its getting most of the culture from wonders and buildings.

ASM, Shoot left a stack in range, I think he was trying to bait me to attack it like I did Omar. Thing is the culture should push over soon and then they won't even be able to move next to Macau in one turn.

Also, ASM I'm starting to build a secondary army that will move into your territory to help defend if you are attacked. Basically, I'll hold onto your standing army for upkeep and move them into your territory if you're under attack.

Are you okay on culture? Do you need to change your slider at all? What if we starved your cap and ran all artists in order to get an extra artist out of your city? Could we go earlier than 14T if you had 7 Artists? Possibly if my GP pops as a non artist I can move him into your area and pop a GA which will give you another 100% to GPP as well. Basically what is holding us to 14t and what can we do to speed it up? Which country needs the 14 turns to get enough culture? If its you and we can go earlier with an extra GA then you could actually possibly even turn off the culture slider.

We are 13T and not 14T, I miscounted last time. smile 13T is the practical upper limit for our win since I will need that many turns to pop my last artist unless we go into starvation. We can go faster but I think we will basically be limited by our net GPT so unless we run more wealth its going to be tough to reduce turns.

I'll look into taking more CPT, we can probably do it in 11 if we get 4 more Artists by massively starving my capitol and popping #4 in your cap So TLDR:

-We need more net GPT
-We will for sure get 2 more Artists from me in 13 turns, but we need atleast one more from one of you. Otherwise we will not even make our 13T goal.
-I think if we do get 2 Artists we can push it up to 11 atleast.

I kinda want to see if you have an artist before we proceed. Otherwise starving myself is inefficient without the Golden Age boost.

I was juggling GPT. I sent 30 from China and 25 from you. I had to turn China's culture down and its making 477 a turn now, but that will still be enough. We may have to revisit the GPT juggling. It's very annoying.

I was looking at espionage... and I don't think T1 or T3 have our graphs... yikes Maybe they don't know?

12T to go. No invasion as yet. And let me be clear this is so much closer than I ever expected us to get... Ever...

Well once you pop your GA/not GA we can figure out how badly I will starve myself and we'll set the final GP juggle.

It is possible I guess since T1 might only be hiding their tech from us but they should be smart enough to figure it out.

So I can run 19 artists in my capitol, Lewwyn. However it all pretty much depends if you get an artist this turn. If you require me to make the artist then we can shave maybe 1 turn off it but I doubt so.

If you get the artist well, I think I can get 2 in 5 more turns so we can turn everything to wealth and gun it.

Also:

anyway running
