Yeah, it's actually pretty even. I've run it three times, and it whoever wins will have around 5 units left.

EDIT: IronyOwl, we need your turn still.

Start Claiming the Sea!  Maybe that will cut down on your stockpile and allow you to create fishing villages.  That is, If you haven't already...

Actually, it's been a week; I should probably wait for Sheb this time.

Question:  Rather than autoing people, could I create a turn for them?

Claiming tiles requires population, not labor. Improving them does cost labor, but you can only do that within range of your cities.

Building cities costs population also, and there isn't a lot of "everywhere" left in what I already own.

I have yet to look at the map, so can you blame me?

Claiming the ocean is a pretty bad idea, if they got a better navy they can destroy them with impunity, as well as the fact that they give as much food as hills/forests without giving you trees or the option to get stone.

Personally if I were him I would start to acting aggressive about now or start to build another city, but its up to him what to do. Just waiting is counterproductive, and has been so for a few turns, you have gotten endgame stuff down, and the longer you wait the more everyone will catch up and begin to get endgame stuff as well.

Yes, it will take doom/sheb like 10 turns to catch up to you since they are at war, but they have vast expansion potential (Especially sheb with his three mana types), and will eventually unless you do something (eg, make another town on the mainland, attack one of their islands).

I *think* he would be fine with you autoing, but you may want to wait just to be cautious.

Yeah, that ocean tile is pretty much the least valuable tile he could be claiming. Well, tied with a bunch of other ocean tiles, anyway.

Kash, I noticed you didn't accept/deny my trade offer this turn (that you accepted last turn) of 9 iron for 15 regents.

If you are still willing to do it, I think you have to explicitly say this turn that you want to trade.

Oh sorry. I agree to this trade deal.
