There haven’t been too many turns played recently thanks to Eric moving to a new office, so I don’t have all that much to say.

France continues to survive while I finish researching Construction and gathering my forces. His research has been slow and I’ve been trying to monitor his forces to ensure that they don’t stray too far or found too many new cities, but I know at least one has been founded outside of Paris.

In the meanwhile, my forces are about to work off some aggression by destroying a barbarian city and maybe capturing it.

Khmer Empire

Remember that epic war that I fought to destroy the Holy Roman Empire? Perhaps I shouldn’t have taken so many cities in that conflict. I’ve all but collapsed by economy and I’ve got no one to blame but myself.

As my civilization slowly dies from lack of funds, I start to think about ways to re-invigorate my economy via things like warfare…I really should just go and raze some cities.

Portugal

Not much to say here except that I’ve started a march on Karokorum. Eric’s troops massed on the border worry me, but I’m confident that I can respond in time to his threats.
