What?!?
I think i surprized Dave with my hasted boar riders , and I found Capitol defended only with a warriour and 2 adepts. First batle was won at 28 % and i think something 20% retreat, second i killed one adept at 68% , third i lost a batle at 68 % but injured adept enought to have 97% on last batle so I think odds were fair.
Of course i deleted all units becasue otherwise would have been easy experience. Well i had prepared like 8-9 unist for job including kitra if was the case.
I hope somehow this will tilt dave and make him atack into me so i can finish the standoff.

Got sailing and I checked the resource with Miguelito
well this shows this map is unbalanced  , Who i am am kidding is atrocious for me....,
First i got kurios near me which boxes me and keeps aan eternal war.
And then this resource table....
So miguelito got more then me
gold(loads of comerce as well)
gems(as well loads of comerce)
Dye
cotton
sugar
Ivory which is equal to fur considering i got furs in tundra...
I have in plus incense , but his realy neead a temple to gave happines so cities with low production have realy a problem to probleme to produce that so i will put like 0,5 happines for it.
So he got 5, 5 more happines than me,oh lets say just 5 and thats is huge and realy unbalaced and unfun in a big way. Well if I belived till now there is a chanse I can compete , I dont see how is that posible seeing this, and is no wonder Miguelito leads me in all metrics...
And even more I see he has rice as well , and that would be for me 5 comerce which means 8 beakers or gold .
Well you cant win them all I supose.
i hope that at least theyr land is not better then mine.But if is like I seen from dave, loads of floodplains and incesnse on flood plains and all kind of stuff    .

I just checked the resources again and loks like miguelito has 2 dyes, oh very nice so right there a town with no efort., this game is getting worse and worst.
Oh yeah and someone got magelan , i realy hope is not Volano who got it. I hope other see how many resorce he have and do something till is not to late.imagine elf cities at size 14-15 in a Ga, becasue he ahs happines..., i would had loved so i can get to that size using nationhood , but oh well I must thankfull i got 2 happines resources to others 7 .
Ah i think Miguel has sailing before me so i totaly expect a visit from him on my borders. More joys.

Turn 110
Looks like waiting for Miguelito expedition was just in my imagination anyway i will have 5 triremes in 4 turns so i think I am covered there. I was a litle thin in defence on my front with dave last turn and i was like perhaps i will find my city burned....
My best cities...
The city which produced 2/3 of my production and science and still produce .Until now i got 2 scientist, 2 great engineers and a great commander. I seen auror(yeah i didnt met him) got the great bard, well if the map was more normal and dint had kuriotates with mages on my dor, i would had got that but oh welll
This was third city and i realy wanted to get HE and shrine of champion here , but Dave acted just in time and pilaged all my farms and scorched earth so right now is just an ok city and all those building which went in capitol.
Oh demos, first i belived Miguel started a GA becasue jump was to great compare with last turn, but looks like is not him the culprit with that production but someone else. My bet is the other Dwarf getting his super forges online, or maybe he used the great bard for a GA and builds those super smities in Ga so all of us to be terified.
I proposed peace again to Dave hoping that he seens there are many major players in the game, but I realy doubt he will take it(I razed his capitol after all)
My plan is to get to sorcery and get some mages to play my self.

Last turn using a flaoting eyes I met Auror and this turn I found that he has Comune with nature, I am 99.99 tha he used tower to divination to get that.
This turn I finished GLib cashing 380 gold as failing money from 2 cities.
Look what Dave keeps on my border and this turn i seen with my flieng eye another mage

turn 120, was preparing for this like last 30 turns, what is left from dave units
After 2 storms , all units had odds over 50% , and some firebals all battles were over 70% (3-4 between 71-80) and all the rest were sure fight still I lost one at 76% and one at some 90% , but the truth i was rather lucky with the fights not losing more battles, ore a 90 + with the mages or adepts.

See this picture? Looks like Auro and Migule are best budies, from there i found they exchange resource and i bet they changed maps as well.
Something else interisting? Oh yeah Cairo is completly left out , so what i deduce from that? Cairo is somehow between them, because after i had a trade route with Auror I had one with cairo as well. So knowing the game meta around here they want to stop me but didnt invite Shekinah as well..., why that would happen? HMM the plan on spliting him...,
Considering this I offered my metamagic mana to cairo so he can get some adepts with eye and see what is coming and as well i offered some happines resources from him to mine. But looks like he doesnt see the writing on the wall and refused the deal, I supose he considers he must fight with the bad guy as well.
I dont see his map or others but in like 4-5 turns all this will solved as i will get boats and magical eyes all around the coast so i will have more info.
I realy wanted to build friendship with him and open borders but looks like he doesnt want that.
I must find others way to help him  to understand is not good annoying me.

Last turn the Kurio empire went history. GG dave. This was a bad setup for both of us , so we were in cold war starting turn 50. Very tiring turns for me beeing scared that you can burn or fork some of my cities.
Last turn i got the bad news I was expecting, Auror researched optics so he will open a fron as well, and if remeber right you can get those nasty Dwarfen druids in boats and still those trow stones at people and boats, so I folowed his reseach and this turn will finish optics as well. Unfortunaetely no Iron for me so I can build just privateers.
More bad news is that this turn Cairo dint exchanged maps or open borders , but he has some dudes building roads towards me and many units scouting me. I am nice but not a fool , so i killed all scouts and offered peace.

turn 123.
The dogpile is on, I remeber quit playing civ becasue that happened in several games in a row, 2-3 years ago but i felt an urge to play ...
Turns are very long , and i have to check every angle, every posibility. This game is harder then the others because this time the nation which i have is very weak on military side compared to other i had. Huge mobility of sidar, or other wich dint had huge handicaps , this has just one huge plus but is rather hard to get to it is that right now my capitol produces 10 experience adeps so insta mages, which is very nice(of course you need money for upgrades), and capitol is tied to build just that.
We have a 3 horse race here, becasue as you see I am not first in all.
GNP - here as research power is clear right now we face the blooming elf economy , although looks like i have more thats a lie beacuse my culture is huge even miguel is creativ, i have like 50 culture more. So Miguel leader here.
In production Auror is clear leader, his workshop gave more as he has smelting and has mighty forges for 40% multipliers. Miguel second, becasue you know super elf...
Food is me as I have more cities, but i cant build units if i want to grow, well I cant use some food to build units...
