It’s time for my 11th turn of LT30 — I skipped my journal for 10th turn.

Exploration

Saw explorer from Hackers ruled by Maho.

I have finished exploring all my nearby lands — that I feel necessary — and I’m moving my explorers back home, where they are going to act as scouts.

I saw some rogue warriors out of their nation borders. Keep beware of them!

Research

I’m researching Alphabet and with the current progress speed it’s ready in 10 turns. However I might rush science again soon.

Westminster

This turn I finished building mine on that hill with coal near Westminster. It takes another 4 turns until Westminster grows to size 2 and can then use that mine. Granary will be built on the same turn — with shields not gold.

London

Now London has 7 turns until growing to size 2 and Granary is finished also on the same turn. Next turn my worker has finished building irrigation on the buffalo, too.

Birmingham

Here’s my factory city. For the moment I am maximizing the shield production with iron mountains. I’m not planning to get this city to grow traditionally — I’m going to use migrants for that.

Liverpool

Liverpool will grow to size 2 in 4 turns and Granary should be bought on the same turn — it’s going to cost me about 28 gold unless I change something.

Defence

Everything OK for the moment. I’m building warriors from Birmingham non-stop until I have 3 in each city.

Demographics

It looks like a lot of players have already grown to size 2. That was as I expected. I planned for faster grow span than to be the first to grow. Not sure if that’s going to be better but we will soon see that.
