	Turn thread - 460 AD Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

No diplomacy.

Latin Lover have the Great Wall now. We are strong to Latin Lover, weak to Tabemono, so the fireworks will probably continue...

Northern part

Holy Grail finishes Marketplace.

Tim's Peak receives a border expansion. Yay, more useless Mountains!

City builds and citizen allocation (proposal):

• Holy Grail starts Library?
  
• Switch Camelot from Cathedral to Library?
  
• Switch Gorge of Eternal Peril from Market to Library? (Market in 4, Library in 3 turns.)
  
• Give at both Wines tile back to Holy Grail (taking it from Dark Forest of Ewing).
  
• Give the Wheat tile back to Camelot (switching Holy Grail to a Grassland tile).

I think we are done joining Workers to cities. They should probably go south to help improve the land.

We need a name for our one and only Galley (which is headed south)!

We have over 200 Gold and only one 60 gold upgrade to do. Any ideas how (if) to burn it?

Southern part

We have two cities to make this turn, and another one next turn.

The Transsiberian Railroad looks pretty good.

Our offensive stack is closing in on Whale song. CoD are waiting for us - they did not engage yet.

We can tell Cod of that Monkey Galley in the south-west.

That was quiet...

Aaanyway, no big decisions, so turn played.

What happened:

• Holy Grail started a Library.
  
• Camelot switched from Cathedral to Library.
  
• Gorge of Eternal Peril not switched from Market to Library. The number od stored Shields would make us lose some production for no good reason. The city can build a Library in 5 turns from scratch, having exactly the Shields to do that (16spt, needing 80 Shields).
  
• Citizens moved as described above.
  
• Galley named, you guessed it, Office Building.
  
• Offensive stack moved closer to Walley Song.
  
• Some scouting down south revealed a second Galley facing the small flet of CoD ships.
  
• What shall we name you? founded in the south. Started a Worker.
  
• City of Silly Peasants founded in the south (It was the name of the Settler. ). Started a Courthouse (placeholder). This is probably the FP city, so we might want to rush basic infrastructure ASAP.
  
• Workers keep moving south.
  
• Some MM between Joyous Garde, Tintagel and Castle Aaaagh dome. Basically, the BG near Tintagel got Mined, and only Castle Aaaagh could use the additional Shield to its advantage (due to Corruption). So I moved the citizens a bit to do exactly that.
  
• Spear upgraded in Holy Grail.

Well, everything looked pretty good, at least on my end, so no need for comment.

I might question to decision to build libraries instead of cathedrals - since we're obviously not researching that quickly, a happiness improvement could be in order.

Three points why we wanted to drop Cathedrals (I think they are written in the Domestic Office somewhere.):

• A few turns ago LL declared war on us, giving us War Happiness basically forever (unless they pay for peace or become extinct).
  
• We are close to connecting a third Luxury, meaning we would not need the Cathedrals even without the War Happiness boost. Actually, we might be able to run 0% lux for a while (not sure about this last thing, though - depends on the war with Monkey).
  
• If only one of us and CoD does research, even at maximum speed, the other continent could easily out-research us. Basically, we need to get into the game whether we want to or not.

(Just returned home after a few days out-of-town.)

Yes, we (CoD and ourselves) will have to cooperate closely to stay in this, but we also need to get a toe in the door of the foreign relations overseas.
