[SPOILERS] 64 is a nice round number. yuris125, PBEM64

OK, I decided that America has slightly better starting techs and a slightly better UU
So obviously I choose Japan
I just don't remember much RTR Japan in our games, and I like Zara. So making the pick I want to make, not the logical one

Zara of Japan

Hey yuri, any chance of some pictures here? This world looks pretty interesting right now.

I may also need something to read whilst procrastinating, with all the PB games down.

Bump...

How about showing us that nice civ you've been hiding away?

[BRickAstley]

Aw man I thought there was an actual update here. :P

[yuris125]

Ok ok I'll try to take some screenshots tonight! Spoiler: I just researched Guilds

[yuris125]

Right, some screenshots

Around the capital



North; border with formerly pindicator



Island



As I said, this turn I researched Guilds, and will be able to build Knights starting next turn. The question is, do I want to?

Here's the most concerning piece of the game (other graphs are not interesting, I don't have flugauto's graph yet and haven't even met wetbandit (because exploring is overrated))




Yep, that's me over 300k power behind Commodore. Looks like Commodore went full military this game

Now, at the moment there's LogicalTautology between Commodore and me. The way geography works on this map, I was pretty isolated from the rest of the world, only bordering pindicator (now LogicalTautology) on the mainland. So, no one except LogicalTautology can attack me over the land right now - but I can't attack anyone but him either. And if I attack him, I will share a border with Commodore...

Also, I don't really need his land at the moment. I have space for 2 cities on the land I already claimed, 1 to the south of the capital, 1 in the western end of the island. Plus, there are a few unclaimed islands in the east. I also think I may be in position to compete for Liberalism, and a Knight attack doesn't help with that. So my inclination right now is to build a couple of Knights for opportunistic strikes, but keep focussing on economic stuff for the moment. After picking up HBR and Archery of course. Archery especially, need those Longbows to grow my power rating a little bit

One more notable thing is that Commodore and Pindicator were at war early in the game, and spent a lot of EP on each other. As a result, they spent very few EP on me. I have pretty good visibility on both their empires. However, I don't see where Commodore has those 300k units. Hope he isn't plotting against me.. I currently have one military unit on the island - for 4 cities

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the opportunistic strikes.

What happened?

[yuris125]

There are uncofirmed rumours that I recived a new save. They may turn into confirmed rumours with 20 minuets. That's it for the moment :P
