Beorn has tried to sell the world map to me for 200 gold. Sami already bought it from him for 150, so I bought it from Sami for the same price. Let's just consider it humanitarian aid.
Meanwhile Beorn has attacked Jeke and took one city already. Would've been good news, if I had enough troops to attack Beorn in the back. But I don't.
I'm sure it won't take long before Jeke is out.
However,
I changed Beorn's Quebec to a monarchy! He used counter espionage on me, but that ended exactly this turn. My spy already went to the most eastern city on the continent and waited exact one turn to have a higher chance of success. Perfect timing.
And admittedly, I actually wanted to steal a tech. But then I saw I'd lose most of my espionage points for
aestetics which would only cost me a few turns to research anyway. So then I went through the list of options, saw this and realised a far bigger impact would be to disrupt his
representation exploitation. (I.e. his huge amount of specialised citizens giving three extra science points each.)
