[SPOILERS] Louis of Aztecs - One of those industrious

[plako]

Brick declared to get his boat through. I'll allow that assuming he behaves. If he pillages that fish he won't get through. Turn ordeers are messy . Brick - me - Merohoc. At least this should be sorted soon.

[plako]

Picture galore:

Merohoc's empire is spread all over the place and now they fired golden age with they Scientist. Even settling would have been better option than this. The cities I can see are sizes 3,2,2 and 1 not really an ideal time to launch GA. Well I guess they're trying to cause damage to me. I'm teching Archery just to free more expensive units for other duties and it is very cheap tech in this mod. Not sure what to tech after that.

Slowcheetah is in the lead currently having #1 prodution, ~#1 Food and good GNP. They settled a city in the bigger middle island. I had to consider if I can settle the super place in eastern part of that island.

Another batch of Screenshots. Not sure what I'm doing next. I could try to land Music Artist for Golden Age or go for CoL and Sacrifical Altars or HBR ro build some HAs and cause trouble to Merohoc. Hard desicion. I think I could get sufficient overflow from Archery+Polytheism+Literature to 1 turn Music. That would require quite a few turns of gold collecting though.

Hanging Gardens haven't landed yet. It would be good pick, but I just don't have place where to get it fast enough.

Long time no updates. Well nothing much is going on. There is standstill in Merohoc front and I don't have any plans of offensive, but I like to keep my position there as long as possible. There is little increase in the power of Merohoc, but nothing too alarming yet.

I keep falling behind SlowCheetah. He also landed SoZ. He probably has a very good land. Nothing much I can do about that at this point either besides trying to keep my economy somewhat competitive. There are also strong nations abroad. Commodore has been taking cities from pindicooter and surpassed the Oracle-Colossus-Serdoa in Score (if that means anything). Bigwyn is also ahead of me score wise.

Domestically I haven't been able to decide what to do so I've been just stockpiling gold. Now I think I've a plan though. SoZ landing makes Music path way less appealing. So I think I'll just fire golden age with the Scientist coming in 7T and time things so that I can get CoL and run some Caste Specialists during GA. During GA goals are to generate me 2-3 Great Persons more, tech Civil Service + Monarchy and then probably head straight to Philo-Nationalism to hopefully grab Taj. I might even take 2 person GA right after 1 person trying to secure Taj. Well this is current plan I might change this to Liberalism run also in case bulbing Education seems better idea. We'll see.

Feeling like spamming today. You better ask questions while this lasts .

Brick and SlowCheetah have got Alpha. I did give some fair consideration, if I should tech it, but this is obviously better since now I don't had to invest on Alpha to get OB. Not sure granting OB to cheetah is in my best interest though. He is #1 player at the moment. His main problem seems to be lack of land (has less than I and there is someone quitea bit bigger than me), but that won't be a real problem for him quite a while. I presume he'll easily find others to trade with so I probably should just open them to gain something myself.

What happiness resources do you have? Dyes and Sugar only?
How many workers do you have?

[plako]

Dyes+Sugar+Spices. I'll have Incense also soonish (gonna settle the island for it).

I think I've about ~12 workers. I've quite a bit of coastal tiles and not settled much of the jungle so I'm doing decently with this amount. My north is almost fully developed already.

Brick was willing to pay 40 gold for map trade. Here is the 1 line preventing Circumnavigation

I was planning to settle the Incense, but it might be worth settling somewhere here. Border pop would give me circumnavigation
