Grille vs Beam 2 - * * SPOILER * *
KR prepared us a nice challenge with a bunch of nasty Civs:
26.15KB We played a nice set of turns this weekend and are at 73 now. Found everybody but Grille himself, I guess he is somewhere in the left lower hand part of the map. 24.31KB Dubya is the strongest civ in the game, would be nice to nail the bastard down. Cubans are the only civ in the MA now, couple of others have Poly. Iran just lacks Poly and Curr and might develop means of getting it. Both E and W scouting warriors spotted Syrians, 99% sure the landmass is continuous around the globe.

78:
Lot happened this turn. First of all we establish contact with a North-Korean scouting warrior and build an embassy in Pyongyang. The Beloved Great Leader app. is a bit short on workers: 96.27KB We also managed to buy Currency whit 7 turns to go for about 285 cash. With that Polytheism was acquired. The Scientific Iranians drew Feudalism. Then we assured all AI went into the Med Age. Babylon drew Engineering which was traded for Feud. After the trades this is the situation in the North-Korean diplo screen: 10.65KB The Beloved Great Leader is 7 techs behind! If he is researching Republic and gets it first he can close the gap, otherwise it will be a hard time. Finally because of a barb Horse stack on the Iranian doorstep some embassies were established, resulting in this Minimap: 27.18KB North Korea is in blue.

Turn 100:
Theology came in as well as with some AI. Got Invention from the Cubans (Iroqs) for 191 and Chiv from Mugabe (Shaki) together with 31 gold. Grille now lacks Mon, Eng (Inv), Theo and Chiv. I gift away all techs to the AI. Not sure what Grille is up to techwise, we'll see. Iranian empire: 199.35KB Military stats and minimap, with this piece of junk I'm strong compared to Grille! 66.18KB We have no peacedeal and I'm considering to go after him pretty early in the game Revolted and got 7 turns.

Turn 121:
While the mighty Iranians just started to research Physics the evil North Koreans still lack Engineering although they most likely will have Astronomy next turn. Iran still is strong compared to North Korea. What is the humble leader Grille of the North Koreans doing?

Turn 122:
Grille only recently started to build culture, most likely Libs. If the culture he is generating since 350BC is because of Temples he really is in bad shape. 46.22KB He is falling behind in the powergraph, not a good sign. 41.57KB Iran still is strong compared to North Korea, so he isn't in unit building. Our Civscore only differ by 6 points which can easily be explained by a small difference in tile coverage. Vital statistics OK. 27.22KB And a happy domestic advisor! Even without the FP. 34.56KB His best changes to catch up in tech are the optional techs, if that is enough to get 4 mandatory techs and / or generate extra gpt is the question.

Grille catched up in techs. Which is good for the game but less good for the Iranians. He did a typical Sci. buy / sell run at the end of the MA and drew a monopoly on Medicine. Stream Power and Nationalism already were around out of monopoly so he could acquire those as well. With that ayatollah Beam was 1 turn of Steam Power and it was easily bought. As the beloved leader Grille seams to have emotional problems with gifting techs around Medicine could be obtained for a bargain. [} All of this means the ToE run is under pressure. Although SP > Electricity seemed a logical choice not enough shields were yet accumulated at the build site to allow for a quick build after SF. So Iran is going for Industrialization first. North Korea all of a sudden became pop leader, worker joining is the suspected cause. A scouting Knight is testing North Korean nerves. 143.43KB

120.17KB" Rather cheap way of defending hometowns. One of the NK horsies bit the big one. If the beloved leader got his logistics together the Knight should be history next turn. At a cost. 135.05KB Meantime Ghadafi got impatient and fucked the ROP and a couple of deals. Nice time for leader fishing!

The beloved leader didn't bother about logistics and used the whip instead. [] 5 NK Citizens dead! 130.34KB A scout is a scout is a scout so time to leave. It found an unfortunate warrior on its way and Bingo! 202.91KB
