[Spoilers] Meiz Polishes his game

[Meiz]

Yeah, I'm running away and Jkaen and Azza should do everything in their power to put me down. That's why I was surprised when Jkaen accepted research agreement with me. Still, spies can be used to catch up in tech etc. so I think the game will still be interesting.

Turns have been slow for a while, but I'll get some screens up once my next city will be settled in couple of turns. Ironworks will be finished next turn and I can then continue to build the leaning tower for a Great engineer, who will probably be used for Taj Mahal. That's should put me even more far ahead from rest of the pack

The game might get more interesting Jkaen built Terracotta army, and here's what I can see at the moment. Wroclaw will get walls up just in case.



He jumped #1 in power. Fortunately I can quickly get some knights and crossbows out from my capital.



Here's how Jowy's capital looks like. Seems to be busy building units for defense. The spy is sent to Jkaen's border city to see what he's really up to.

Got another great scientist this turn, who I used to bulb Steel. I will continue along the lower part of the tech tree in case Jkaen has any funny ideas



Jkaen moved his troops out of my view, but the brave spearman managed to track them down.

New city founded. Slow start, but should be excellent in the long run. I'll probably save my artist guild to be built here.

4 fishies
With a light house you can easily have artists here.

False alert? Jkaen declared war against Hanoi. You can also see his latest city up north. I'm not sure if his mass expansion tactic is paying off here. While more cities means more research, it's nullified by the 5% tech cost increase, if he cannot grow the cities big enough...

Oh well, research is set back towards Taj Mahal

[Rowain]

If he captures Hanoi it blocks you from any routes to thee north. And gives him 2 more CS to conquer if he wants too.

IMO the connection city between Warsaw and Wroclaw has gotten a +1 to priotity

[Meiz]

Wow, Jowy is actually sending me a cargo ship over the sea, netting me a whopping 2 gold per turn . I guess he's little bit limited with the options after all

I proposed research agreement to Azza, interesting to see if he accepts it.

[Meiz]

With the help of a harbor, Lodz is able to send +9 food to my latest city . Capital finished leaning tower and I picked an engineer to rush Taj Mahal. Researching now towards public schools, since it seems like I got no rush towards winged hussars. I can complete that tech whenever I need it, since it's mostly finished.

[Meiz]

Got my first great writer and musician on the same turn. Both will be used for great works, but unfortunately the musician has to wait a bit for the opera house to be finished in Wroclaw.

Capital starts porcelain tower, clearly I haven't done enough wonder whoring yet

Jkaen managed to capture Hanoi for yet another city for his empire. He's the closest to me in score, but still quite lacking in population and production.
