	Turn 72 - 1225 B.C. Support Apolyton

Completed research:
None.

New units and improvements:
CA builds Swordsman, starts next. CX builds Worker (Ernest, name reused), starts next.

Workers:
Jonas and Concord mine. Bob, Dennis and their guard go 122, discover CoD city Swindon and end at Swindon-1, which they will road the next 2 turns. Then they will leave CoD territory. Ernest goes to HG-3, will road the hill Patsy mines.

Military:
New Swordsman goes 633 to C-2. Spearman at the east coast goes 2. Sir Robin gets a Go-To to CoC.

Exploration:
Sir Kay goes 1. Sir Launcelot and Sir Bedevere go 6. The black patch is melting quickly. Only 4 black tiles left. 2 of our warriors will then return home (need MPs for happiness), the third will watch Monkey.

Diplomacy:
Monkey accepts the proposed deal. So do we. We now have Literature.

Economy:
The usual changes around CA and HG. GoEP can get to 4 turn Swordsmen without building an intermediate Spearman, if we set it to 2 food surplus the next 2 turns, but not this. That's good.

Finances and research:
We can now afford to raise research to 100%. 25 gold, -4/turn at 0.10.0. Currency in 5 turns. Our treasury will be melting to almost naught, but the day we can hoard money is approaching quickly. We'll make more than 30 gpt then (34, if we'd start it now), that's far over 1000 in 40 turns. Enough to buy up in tech and to do the necessary upgrades.

I renamed Castle de Loimbard to Château de Loimbard. It's French after all. The abbreviation CdL remains.

	Got spare money?

with the renaming.

Also, I've no objections to raising sci to 100%.
