I may have just razed the Confucian Holy City.

I need more workers.

Not sure if I should call it a day on this assault, or push for Aqua (Sian's capital with TGL). It might be better to sit back and build Hanging Gardens with the stone I'm about to hook up. Might try to cause some trouble with chariots up in Sian's north as well, since he'll probably be focused on protecting his capital (I know I would be).


Right now, I wish I'd picked an Org civ, I could really do with some cheap courthouses to cut my city maintenance right now.

Going to attack Aqua (Sian's Capital), I'm 5 turns away from the assault, 6 if I avoid the river crossing penalty. Is it enough? Probably not. But I may as well go for it.

Hanging Gardens is 4-5 turns away from being built in Fry, hopefully I can grab it since it'd really help with my pathetic population.

Probably need to put some Archers in some of my cities as well, so they can actually grow without massive hate from my people for being undefended.


Also, going to try and get slowcheetah to attack Sian from the other side. That'd really make my attack so much easier.

Also, a war between Brick and Musicman would just be great right now.

Lost a 90% battle which got Zoidberg razed. Fuck my life...

Hanging Gardens built by me, Sian has too many troops in Aqua for me to take without ridiculously good luck.

Not sure if I should be happy about that peace deal. I've got enough gold to 2 turn CoL thanks to it, which will seriously help with the drain of maintenance, and have secured a couple of decent locations. I suppose, I probably wasn't going to get much from my actual stack, so I may as well have taken what I could with a peace deal. Hopefully it's enough to keep me in the hunt.

I'm kind of disappointed you didn't pull at least one of the other civs in against sian. I missed a week there - i thought that surely they would test his other border. Perhaps they did and backed off.

Sorry I havent been following that closely - will try to catch up on what's been going on.

How many courthouses you planning on building?

Nibbler and Hermes are costing me a crapton in maintenance, so they'll get courthouses whipped almost straight away. Not sure how many other cities have high maintenance, but anything 7 or greater will get one, and 10 or greater almost immediately.

Yeah, it's a bit of a shame that slowcheetah in particular didn't attack, but I guess they wouldn't want to distract Sian and have me able to take The Great Lighthouse.

Well, that's a disappointment. A GS philosophy bulb requires Alphabet. Guess I'll put a couple of turns of 0% research into Metal Casting, see whether I pop the GS from my capital or not, then decide what actually research.
