More diplo thread quandries. What could ASM be thinking and why would he ask me to play around 5 or 6? He better not try any outside-the-thread diplo, but i think that rule has sunk in by now. Is he just trying to rile up Lord Parkin by insinuating wrong doing or mischeiviousness without doing anything?
Since we've been waiting for sunrise's turn to roll (PC troubles plus illness, I feel bad for that guy) i've been looking at Mathematics and Hanging Garden ETAs, and planning worker turns for the next 10-15t. Looks like I can just eek out Math by turn 81. Unless I decide to pick up Archery first, in which case we can add 2-3 turns to the estimate.
So if I go with this gungho crazy plan of building HG primarily for the GE points, then I need to get a settler going to claim the eastern stone. And workers to road that way. And military to defend it all. If I can grab the stone in time, I'll be able to 1-turn HG in the capital with whio overflow and 3 chops. Without the stone I will have to chop every forest out to the 3rd ring and even if i can time all 8 chops right I can only get a 2 turn build. So grabbing that stone is clearly worth it for HG, the question is just how to pull it off.
