Been a while + server down = been a long while.

Liar Praetorian has been replaced (after much sucking) by regent player Sercer for Germany.

I bought Germany's middle age tech for a jump into the middle ages when I can give it to him. He has 5 towns at pop 1, I've been trying to coach him by PM into doing better. I'd feel totally sadistic just raping him, he's a good guy, unlike his predecessor.

Deal with SW is HBR/Cons (me) for Lit+MM (him) and that leaves me Polytheism/Monarchy short on the AA tree. I'll get Poly, take whatever I can from Germany and head straight for Cavalries. I'll build up cavalries and invade the other continent I believe - unless something boils up on our side of the ocean.

I have 28% Population to SW's 12 or 14. We are 8, so the theoretical average is 12.5%. I have 3 cities fully capable of pumping settlers in 4 or 5 turns. I'll just have to stop building towns and start dishing out some hurt. Both my FP/silk cities will be making workers for a little while, the rest on military duty on and off with libs and markets when they can. One city has been founded on a FP pre-build, now size 2 and counting.

Here is what I believe are the current territorial agreements + my dotmap. I plan 5 more cities and then all into horses/knights to have buttsecks with the Spanish.
