T11 · Xi'an (85,49) pop2 → Settler. Pottery / Craftsmanship. Scout NE, warrior W, builder home.
Rivals: England, Poland, Inca, Germany, Mapuche, Scythia, Maori. Scythia = early horse threat at Deity; Germany snipes wonders. Slinger→Archer before Classical wonders.
T14 · Settler out at (86,48). Xi'an → Trader. Gold 125 banked. Scores: Germany 53, England/Poland 44, Inca/Scythia 41, us 22 (Deity handicap — normal at T14).
Note: Trader before a 2nd military unit is a tempo bet; fine if the scout confirms no camp within 6 tiles.
T17 · ⚠ Xi'an production queue EMPTY. Trader built, settler moving to (87,46). Writing next. Gold 149 — enough to buy a slinger if a camp shows.

T29 · CONFUCIANISM founded on Stonehenge: Divine Inspiration (+6 faith/wonder) + Sacred Places (+2 all yields per wonder city).
T31 · GOLDEN AGE (Classical). Dedication: Monumentality — faith buys builders → Qin charges → wonders → faith. Settler #3 founding (84,44) next turn. Slinger→Archer.
Harness: end_turn hung twice on a hidden "choose research" blocker; resolved via Lua. Turn wall-time ~3-5 min — too slow, tightening.
T33 · CHENGDU founded (84,44) — 3 cities. Hanging Gardens started in Xi'an, 2 Qin charges in (30%). Faith 71 → buying builders (Monumentality). Score 88 vs Germany 170.

Harness: ~60s/turn; end_turn via Lua after MCP end_turn hung twice.
T51-52 · DARK AGE (38/41 — missed by 3). Two civilians lost to barbs (builder at 85,50; settler at 88,52) — escort discipline failure, mine. World Congress: Autocracy +wildcard slot passed (our votes), Melee +3. Theology done. Serfdom + Discipline slotted.

Xi'an: Theater+Amphitheater+Entertainment Complex done → Colosseum next (Qin charges ready: 5+2+4 on hand).
Era score 46/54 — 8 short; each new district +1 (Monumentality). Great Writer Li Bai 12/60 (Pingala Grants).
Military: 2 swordsmen, 5 archers; barb pressure S/SE mostly cleared. Deity AIs at 264-300 score; we're last but compounding.
T64 · SHANGHAI founded (84,40) on Ha Long Bay — 6 cities. Settler #7 → (87,42). Xi'an: Commercial Hub (2nd trade route). Magnus → Longxi. Colosseum gone to an AI; Arena built instead.

T81 BENCHMARK · Score 332 · 9 cities · pop 51 · Sci 50.6 · Cul 70.4 · Faith 571 · 21 units (4 Crouching Tigers bought w/ faith under Theocracy). Era score 63/77.
T81 · Met SCYTHIA (Tomyris, score 363 vs our 332) — the Deity horse-rush neighbor. Friendly reply; delegation sent. Theocracy switch wiped all 7 production queues (noted: government change clears queues) — reset all.

Military 497 (7 Crouching Tigers, 3 swordsmen, castles going up). Tourism 30 domestic; Scythia needs 24 more to flip.
Tech: 25 vs Scythia 32 — behind; Universities coming (Chengdu done, Changsha 6t). Astronomy → Scientific Theory.
Era score 64/77 — Dark Age likely at Industrial; accepted.
3 settlers → north coast (84,38 founding next turn; 87,33; 86,29). Target 13 cities.
Harness: ~70s/turn; WC special sessions need MCP end_turn; government change wipes production queues (T81 lesson).
T91 · INDUSTRIAL ERA begins (world era). Era score 65 → Normal Age again (Dark <82 next). Opera & Ballet done → Mercantilism. Castles in Jiaodong/Beijing; city #11 founding at (84,38).
T93 · City #11 founded at (84,36) — Ha Long Bay north, antiquity sites nearby. Sailing next (harbors for 6 coastal cities). Score 401 vs Scythia 436.
T95 · Deal with Scythia: 10 surplus iron for open borders + 8g + 3gpt/30t. Score 419 vs 444. Faith 1180. Sci 79 / Cul 78. Settlers rerouted: north coast unreachable by land → (80,43) west marble.
T99 · Score 454 vs Scythia 465 — 11 behind the leader. Faith 1463 banked. First Musketman. Metal Casting → Economics. Natural History next (archaeology: 6+ antiquity sites in our land).

=== T100 SITREP ===
Score 457 vs Scythia 473 (16 behind; 6 civs unmet). 11 cities · pop 75 · Sci 83 · Cul 86 · Faith 1535 · Gold +10.
Military: 7 Crouching Tigers, 3 swordsmen, 1 musketman, castles in 7 cities. No wars. Tomyris friendly (open borders, embassy, iron deal).
Districts: 3 Campus (2 Universities), 2 Theaters, 3 Holy Sites, 2 Commercial Hubs (3 trade routes now), Encampment, Entertainment. 
3 settlers en route (west marble 80,43 founding now; two embarking north).
Era score 67/82 Industrial — Dark Age likely; Natural History → archaeologists for artifacts (tourism + relics from Reliquaries? no—Sacred Places).
Since T19 takeover: 2 → 11 cities, 5 → 75 pop, score 31 → 457. Lost: 1 builder + 1 settler (T51, both recaptured/replaced), 3 wonders sniped.
Harness: ~70-90s/turn. 81 turns in ~2h50m.
T101 · SHENYANG founded (80,43) — 12 cities. 'World's Largest Civilization' fired (+7 era score → 74/82). Barb pack (2 swordsmen, archer) probing Longxi/Wuhan from the south; Crouching Tigers repositioning. Checkpoint save requested: deity-tsl-agent-t102.

### T103–104 — resumed after context compaction
- Context ran out at T103 (~84 turns of play in one window). Resumed from live game state, no save reload needed.
- Barb man-at-arms at (85,55) holding a captured builder: Longxi city strike (25) + archer (15) + Crouching Tiger finished it. Builder fled to (86,56); chasing on hills at 1 tile/turn — it keeps skipping away. Musketman rerouting to cut it off.
- Trader 4522001 finally routed Longxi→Xi'an (+4f/+3p). Builders dispatched: iron mine (88,41), marble quarry (81,40), deer camp (81,44), lumber mills ×3.
- Xi'an → Bank (Economics boost), Jiaodong → Water Mill, Chengdu → Musketman. Civic: Military Training (1t). 2 envoys → Samarkand (contest Scythia's suzerainty).
- Jebel Barkal not placeable here (no desert hills in Xi'an radius).
- Stream: poll dropped 3s→1s, capture 2s→1s.

### T105–106
- LOST settler 3801112 at (87,31) to a barbarian galley while embarked — 4th civilian lost this game. Lesson (again): never move civilians on coast without checking for barb galleys. Remaining northern settler pulled onto land at (87,33) — founds next turn. CT + Musketman heading north as escort for the 3rd settler.
- Economics + Mercenaries done. Tech → Military Tactics (→ Mass Production → Industrialization). Civic → Civil Engineering (boosted).
- Chengdu → Art Museum (culture). Longxi & Xi'an → Banks (Economics boost). 3 envoys into Samarkand (now 4) vs Scythia.
- Scythia 501 vs China 492. Era score still 74/82 — need 8 in ~? turns or Dark Age. Founding city #13 helps.
- Stream now 1920px / q82, 1s cadence.

### T107
- Founded **Xiurong** (city #13) at (87,33) on the northern peninsula; free builder from Ancestral Hall. Monument first.
- Tech → Buttress (→ Mass Production). Coal mine going in at (88,52); lumber mill (83,38).
- Score 505 vs Scythia 511.

### T108
- Barb galley + caravel circling Xiurong (island city, no walls). Faith-bought a Crouching Tiger there (140f) as garrison. Pulled the embarked settler back onto land at (85,38) — not repeating T106.
- Civil Engineering done → Nationalism. Public Works slotted (+30% builder prod, +2 charges). Liang → Zoning Commissioner (Housing Boom next).
- Xi'an → Art Museum, Changsha → Theater Square (83,47). Gold now +16/t after banks.
- Score 515 vs Scythia 519. Era 75/82.

### T109 — Danielle's directives: more districts, spend faith, stop losing builders
- Faith: patronized **Edgar Allan Poe** (500f, 2 Great Works) and **Rembrandt** (1350f, 3 Great Works). Faith 2079 → ~230.
- Districts queued: Beijing Theater (83,50), Jiaodong Campus (86,46), Shanghai Campus (84,41) +5 adj, Wuhan Commercial Hub (88,54), Xingzhou Campus (80,38), Changsha Theater (83,47). Harbors unavailable (no Celestial Navigation).
- Musketman killed the barb galley at (87,38). Caravel still parked off Xiurong; CT garrison holding.
- Settler → (78,40) west of Shenyang (inland, fresh water). Second settler staged at Shenyang.
- Map pins: read attempt returned none (PlayerConfigurations:GetMapPins empty) — will retry with the pin API from MapPinManager.
- Tech → Mass Production (boosted). Score 524 vs Scythia 526.

### T110 — ERA SCORE 82: Dark Age avoided (Normal Age). China 538 > Scythia 537 — FIRST PLACE.
- Great Works recruits bumped era score +7 in one turn. Poe activated in Xi'an theater (2 works). Rembrandt walking to Chengdu's new Art Museum.
- Lost builder #5 to the barb caravel at (85,39) — I put a fishing-boats builder on a coast tile with the caravel 4 tiles out. Own goal. New rule: no builder on water tiles while any barb naval unit is within 6.
- Caravel now 73→~45hp after Shanghai strike + musketman; swordsman next turn. Builder recapture possible if it dies adjacent.
- Longxi → Theater (86,52). Chengdu at district cap → Water Mill. Tech → Cartography → Square Rigging → Industrialization.
- Gold +30/t now (banks). Faith 307 after GP spend.

### T111 — MODERN ERA (Normal Age). China 545 > Scythia 544.
- Dedication: Sky and Stars (+1 era score per Great Person earned/purchased) — fits the GP-buying culture line. Next Dark threshold 103, Golden 111.
- Barb caravel retreated to (88,34) with the builder. Poe done in Xi'an theater; Rembrandt en route to Chengdu.

### T111 (late) — hidden blocker: Tomyris deal popup + World Congress session. Accepted Scythia deal (10 iron → open borders + 8g + 3gpt). WC firing via MCP end_turn.
- WC votes: Sovereignty A→Trade city-states (+100% yields on routes), Deforestation B→Rainforest (chops pay gold), Diplo Victory B→Scythia (-2 pts).

### T112
- Founded city #14 at (79,50) (desert/salt/incense, fresh water) with the Beijing settler. Xi'an → Campus (85,46). Liang → Housing Boom (+8 housing/+8 amenities in Xi'an).
- Wuhan: city strike + CT + swordsman killed a barb crossbowman. Barb builder (the one they took) is wandering at (85,37) — musketman moving to recapture.
- Tech → Square Rigging → Industrialization. Civic → Urbanization. Score 550.
- PINS READ OK: Danielle pinned Aqueduct @(87,45) and Dam @(86,45) for Jiaodong. Switching Jiaodong to Aqueduct now (housing 7 at pop 11), Dam after; campus resumes later.

### T113 — China 564 > Scythia 560
- Rembrandt activated in Chengdu Art Museum (3 Great Works). Xiurong CT sank the barb galley; caravel still besieging (62hp).
- Jiaodong → Aqueduct (87,45) per Danielle's pin. Builders: salt mine + farm at Yiyang, lumber mills, farm repair.
- Barb line infantry (CS65) approaching Wuhan from the south; swordsman pulled back to city.
- Recaptured the builder at (85,38) with the Crouching Tiger. Civilian ledger: lost 5, recovered 3.

### T114 — Scythia 576 > China 566 (they spiked +16; likely Golden Age dividend)
- Rembrandt placed a 2nd work in Chengdu; Longxi Theater done → Amphitheater (2t). Civic → Mass Media (toward Ideology).
- Xiurong siege lifted; caravel gone. Builders: farm repair after record flood at (86,45), lumber mills at Shanghai/Wuhan, marsh clear at Handan.
- Culture 137/t (was 90 at T103). Gold 328 (+37/t), faith 631 — next GP buy when a Modern-era artist/musician shows.

### T115 — Scythia 583 > China 574
- Bought Amphitheater in Beijing (240g). Rembrandt's 3rd work placed. Xi'an Campus done → Library; Beijing → Campus (83,52) +2; Taiyuan → Theater (87,43); Wuhan → Market; Chengdu → theater project.
- New Taiyuan settler held: only good sites are on the northern island beyond the barb caravel (50hp). Xiurong CT grinding it down 12/turn.
- Culture 146/t. 11 builders working; antiquity sites everywhere need an Archaeological Museum (Chengdu/Xi'an already took Art Museums — build one in Longxi/Beijing).
- Shenyang granary done → Walls. (Lua tip: `x and x() or y` is a syntax error in Civ Lua when x is a method — use if/else.)

### T116 — Scythia 601 > China 580 (they are +18/t; we are +8/t — need wonders/era score, not just districts)
- Recaptured a 2nd builder at (87,32) off Xiurong with the CT (civilian ledger: lost 5, recovered 4).
- Founding city #15 at (78,40) west of Xingzhou (marble, citrus, copper, fresh water).
- Xi'an Library done → University. Longxi Amphitheater done → Archaeological Museum (unlocks Archaeologists for the ~9 antiquity sites; each artifact = culture + tourism).
- Tech → Industrialization (factories, Flight eureka path). Culture 162/t, science 102/t, gold 160 (+33).

### T117 — Scythia 604 > China 593
- Founded city #15 at (78,40). 15 cities.
- Xiurong under real threat: barb IRONCLAD (CS70) at (84,34) + caravel + galley. CT pulled back into the city (Garrison promo, +7). Walls queued (17t — too slow); will faith-buy a Musketman garrison next turn once the CT steps aside. Recaptured builder trying to reach land at (88,31).
- Wuhan: barb line infantry (CS65) 2 tiles out; castle + CT + swordsman ready.
- Shanghai Holy Site (Ha Long Bay) done → Shrine. Xiurong at 45 def vs Ironclad; walls 17t.

### T117 (late) — MET GERMANY (Frederick Barbarossa): score 842 vs our 593. New runaway leader; Scythia 604 is no longer the benchmark. Culture victory math must now include German tourism defense.
- Germany intel: 12 cities, Sci 304, Cul 438, +490 gpt, 51 techs, 1 spaceport. Hinduism. Agenda Iron Crown (dislikes suzerains — we hold Brunei). Culture win vs Germany = 177 tourists needed; unrealistic this session. Objective stays: max score + era score, hold #2, avoid Dark Age (need 19 by end of Modern).
- Rejected Tomyris: wanted a Great Work for open borders + 6gpt. Great Works are the culture engine; not for sale.

### T118 — Germany 853 > Scythia 609 > China 602
- LOST the recaptured builder again at (88,32): my move order ended it on a coast tile next to the Ironclad. 6th civilian loss, 4 of them to my own coast-tile pathing. Hard rule from now: civilians only get move orders to LAND destinations verified via get_map_area, and never within 3 tiles of a barb ship.
- Xiurong besieged by Ironclad+caravel+galley. Barbarians cannot capture cities, so the risk is pillage/starvation; CT garrison holds. Trying to gold-buy walls.
- Wuhan Market done → Trader (route capacity up). Handan → Walls (barb spearman inbound).
- Bought Walls in Xiurong (200g). Caravel 35hp.
- Xiurong (walls up) strikes caravel → 16hp. Monument 2t. Culture 163/t.
- Rejected Frederick: Salt+Marble for 5g + 2gpt + open borders. We need the amenities.
- LOST builder 4718605 at (89,57) to the barb line infantry I logged as "2 tiles out" — I left it asleep next to the threat. 7th civilian loss. Rule addendum: any builder within 3 tiles of a listed threat moves INTO the nearest city first, works later.

### T119 — Rankings: Germany 862 > England 694 > Scythia 617 > China 606 > Poland 488
- Met England (Victoria, 4 cities, mil 902) and Poland (Jadwiga, 6 cities, mil 153) via Langfang. Two AI war declarations + an Emergency somewhere (not on us).
- Era score 86/103. Strategic resources capped (horses/iron/niter 35/35) — sell surplus for gold.
- TOOL BUG: propose_trade fired the AIs' stale offers instead of mine — gave Germany Salt+Marble for 5g+2gpt+OB, and Scythia something ("Unknown", possibly a Great Work) for 6gpt+OB. Verifying tourism to see if a Great Work left.
- Industrialization + Mass Media in. Tech → Flight (→ Radio/Broadcast Centers), civic → Scorched Earth (→ Mobilization → Ideology). Retainers re-slotted (amenities). Moksha → Citadel of God. Xi'an University, Changsha Amphitheater, Shanghai Campus (84,41).
- Xi'an → Industrial Zone (87,51) +3 (factory later feeds 6 cities).
- NOTE: game is TURN-LIMITED to 250 (Online speed). Score victory decided at T250 → 131 turns left. Germany +9/t vs our +7/t; we need era-score/wonder/pop spikes to close 256 points. "PLEASE WAIT" = AI turn processing is just slow with 5 civs met.
- INTERVENTION: Hunza (unmet city-state) hung its AI turn on two Medic support units with unspent moves (known Civ6 AI hang). Removed the two Hunza Medics via gamecore Lua to unstick the game. Also unstacked 2 Musketmen+CT that the engine had spawned onto Xi'an's tile (teleported one to 86,48). Logged as engine-bug remediation, not a gameplay action.
- Hang persisted after medic removal → reloading save deity-tsl-agent-t119-stuck (my T119 orders intact; AI turn restarts fresh). Fallback: 0_MCP_0119 / AutoSave_0119.
- Network.LoadGame during the hang half-killed the session (tuner down, menu music, blank map). Full restart_and_load → deity-tsl-agent-t119-stuck. Stream shows blank frame while the game is down (by design).
- PRIVACY INCIDENT: with the game at the main menu (windowed), the capture region included overlapping desktop windows for ~2 min. Patching capture to blank the frame whenever the Civ window is not the foreground window.
- RECOVERED: Danielle manually loaded deity-tsl-agent-t119-stuck. Rejected Poland (our 9 coal + marble for oil/OB/4gpt — coal is for factories). Capture now blanks unless Civ is the foreground window.

### T120 (post-reload) — Germany 862 > England 694 > China 623 > Scythia 617
- Back to #3. Longxi Archaeological Museum done → Archaeologist (9 antiquity sites waiting). Jiaodong Aqueduct done → Dam (86,45) per pin. Wuhan → Theater (87,55). New Wuhan trader → Xi'an.
- Barb line infantry/ironclad/galley still loitering; no more civilians near water.
- England (Victoria) denounced us: "different governments" (we run Theocracy; she wants industry). Expect worse relations; Ideology civic should fix the government mismatch later.
- T121: unstacked the two Musketmen off Xi'an (engine had spawned both onto the city tile; reload undid the earlier fix). Wuhan strike on line infantry → 64hp.
- T122: Scorched Earth done → Mobilization (→ Ideology). Xi'an IZ done → Workshop. Envoy → Samarkand (7). Xiurong CT hit galley → ~25hp. Wuhan strike on line infantry (still holding the captured builder at 90,56).
- WC Deforestation Treaty (Rainforest) now forbids clearing jungle — builders can't clear (85,37); adjust builder plans to woods/marsh only.
- T123: Xi'an Workshop → Factory; Beijing Campus done → Library; Handan Walls done → Water Mill. Line infantry at (89,56) down to ~59hp. Xiurong builder ordered to (88,31) mine but pathing parked it on a reef tile — no barb ships in range this turn; moves to land next turn. Policy slot 0 empties every turn — investigating via Lua.
- Poland asked for an embassy in Xi'an: accepted (free relations boost; Jadwiga likes faith-focused civs, we have 1487 faith banked).
- T124: Germany 927 > England 726 > Scythia 661 > China 643. Xiurong builder safely on land at (88,31) (mine next turn). Wuhan wore the line infantry to 34hp; swordsman going in for the kill + builder recapture. Policy slot 0 keeps clearing itself (Retainers likely obsolete in BBG) → Discipline.
- Swordsman killed the barb line infantry at (89,56); its captured builder is free-standing — recapture next turn.
- T125: RECAPTURED the Wuhan builder (ledger: lost 7, recovered 5). Flight done → Steam Power (→ Radio → Broadcast Centers). First Archaeologist (Shanyuan) heading to the Beijing antiquity site (79,51). Faith 1698 → Chopin at 2230f in ~6 turns.
- T126: Germany 947 > England 731 > Scythia 684 > China 647. Mobilization done → IDEOLOGY (tier-3 government next). Magnus → Provision. Xi'an Factory done → Stock Exchange; Shanghai Library; Beijing University; Wuhan Amphitheater. Archaeologist excavating Beijing site via Lua EXCAVATE op. Scythian tank+rangers seen at (69-72,43-50) west of Langfang — not at war, watching.
- Policy mystery solved: each new civic obsoletes a card (Retainers, then Conscription via Mobilization) and empties that slot — not a tool bug. Slot 1 → Force Modernization (50% cheaper upgrades: 2 archers, 3 swordsmen, 2 spearmen, warrior queued for upgrade with 457g).
- T127: upgraded 2 Archers→Crossbowmen, 3 Swordsmen→Men-at-Arms, Warrior→Swordsman (Force Modernization halved cost). Storms pillaged Chengdu/Changsha tiles; builders repairing. Jiaodong Dam done → Campus; Taiyuan Theater → Amphitheater.
- FIRST ARTIFACT extracted at Beijing (79,51) → Longxi Archaeological Museum. Resolved the Choose-Artifact popup via Lua PlayerOperation.
- Frederick warns: "if you continue to help my enemies I will destroy you" (our Scythia open-borders deal). Placated. Military maintenance now -126/t (gold +9) after upgrades; need Stock Exchange/markets.

### T128 — Germany 966 > England 747 > Scythia 700 > China 661
- GREAT PEOPLE HAUL: recruited Mark Twain (free), faith-bought Hokusai (230f), Liu Tianhua (170f), Mary Katherine Goddard (700f). +4 era score under Sky and Stars → should push us to ~94/103. 7 more Great Works incoming.
- Xiurong CT chipping two barb Ironclads. Storm damage repairs across Chengdu/Xi'an.
- T129: ERA SCORE 98/103 (+8 from the GP haul). Score 684. Hokusai → Xi'an Art Museum (3 works), Twain → Chengdu Amphitheater (2), Goddard activated at Xi'an hub. Liu Tianhua held (no music slots until Broadcast Center — Radio next). Steam Power done → Radio. Xi'an Stock Exchange done → Bolshoi Theatre wonder at (85,50).
- Rejected Frederick: 3 of our Great Works + 14gpt for 2 of his + open borders. No.
- T130: Ideology done; Communism still locked in BBG (needs Class Struggle) → civic Class Struggle. Hokusai placed a 2nd work in Xi'an. Score 688; era 98/103.
- Charismatic Leader obsoleted by Ideology → Merchant Confederation (+1 gold per envoy; ~30 envoys out).

### T131 — ATOMIC ERA, DARK AGE (ended Modern at 98/103). Germany 1005 > England 763 > Scythia 712 > China 694.
- Dark Age thresholds: Dark 116 / Golden 124. Dedication: Sky and Stars again (GP buys). Loyalty pressure now matters for Xiurong/Langfang/Yiyang.
- Culture 211/t, science 145/t, gold +36. Jiaodong Campus → Library; Beijing/Taiyuan theater projects; Yiyang walls (Scythian tanks 8 tiles west).
- Archaeologist excavating Chengdu site (84,43).
- 2nd artifact extracted (Chengdu 84,43) → Longxi museum (2/3).
- WC votes: ban Great Work Heist; +100% Coal Power Plants; Germany -2 diplo VP (4 votes, 24 favor). Checkpoint save deity-tsl-agent-t132 written (both save dirs).
- T132: Germany 1009 > England 770 > Scythia 724 > China 707 (gap to #3: 17). Culture 231/t. Policies re-slotted (Discipline, Merchant Confederation). Archaeologist → (81,43).

### T133 — COMMUNISM adopted (Class Struggle done). Radio done → Electricity; civic → Conservation. Germany 1022 > England 770 > Scythia 735 > China 709.
- Government change wiped all city queues (known cost) — re-setting every city now. Communism: +production, 8 policy slots.
- Handan musketman about to finish the barb Ironclad (3hp). Archaeologist excavating (81,43).
- 3rd artifact extracted (81,43) → Longxi museum full (3/3, themed if eras match). Next museum needed for more digs.
- T134: Germany 1037 > England 776 > Scythia 742 > China 720. Era 102/116. Shanghai University → Temple. Culture 243/t. Barb Ironclad at Xiurong down to ~17hp.
- T135: Germany 1042 > England 793 > Scythia 750 > China 721. Policies (Communism, 8 slots): Force Modernization, National Identity, Public Works, Medina Quarter, Liberalism, Colonial Taxes, Autocratic Legacy, Grand Opera. Gold 498 (+50).
- Accepted Tomyris: duplicate Salt+Marble (we hold 4/3 copies; extras give no amenities) → 10 Uranium + open borders + 3gpt. Tagore (1660f) buyable next turn.
- T136: Germany 1063 > England 801 > Scythia 761 > China 723. Conservation done → Cultural Heritage (tourism). Envoy → Samarkand (now 12+). Shanghai campus project; Yiyang builder. Faith 1648 — Tagore next turn.
- T137: Germany 1070 > England 810 > Scythia 764 > China 729. Bought Tagore (540f). Electricity done → Sanitation (housing). Barb crossbowman finished; salt mine going in at (85,57). Scythian helicopter loitering at (85,59) — not at war.
- SUZERAIN of Samarkand (17 envoys) — flipped it from Scythia. Both trade city-states now ours (+Sovereignty WC bonus on routes).

### T138 — BOLSHOI THEATRE completed in Xi'an (wonder; free civic Totalitarianism). Germany 1080 > England 817 > Scythia 775 > China 738. Era 104/116.
- Cultural Heritage done → Professional Sports. Xi'an & Longxi → Broadcast Centers (music slots for Liu Tianhua; +culture). Envoys now to Brunei.
- T139: Tagore placed 2 works in Longxi. Published github.com/DanielleFong/agentic-civ; site header corrected (agent at the controls).
- Accepted Jadwiga: 10 aluminum + duplicate salt → 10 oil + 47g + 9gpt.
- T140: Germany 1101 > England 832 > Scythia 799 > China 758. Recruited Dvorak (free) + bought van Gogh (700f): era score → ~110/116. Sanitation done → Replaceable Parts. Checkpoint save t140.
- Jadwiga (Great Person Advocate agenda) is annoyed we keep recruiting GPs. Acknowledged; not stopping.
- Era score 112/116 — 4 more and the Atomic Dark Age is avoided (Golden at 124). van Gogh + Dvorak + Liu Tianhua waiting on Broadcast Centers (Xi'an/Longxi, ~2 turns).
- T141: Germany 1110 > England 845 > Scythia 806 > China 767. Handan Commercial Hub done → Market. 8 Great People units waiting for slots (Broadcast Centers next turn).
- England denounced us again (governments differ: Communism vs hers). Acknowledged.
- T142: Broadcast Centers up in Xi'an + Longxi. Great People backlog: Hokusai/Tagore were parked on the theater tiles blocking the musicians — moving them next turn so Liu Tianhua and Dvorak can play. Beijing + Wuhan → Art Museums for van Gogh (3 works) and Hokusai. Repo renamed github.com/DanielleFong/civilization.sh.
- T143: Liu Tianhua → Xi'an Broadcast Center, Dvorak → Longxi Broadcast Center (2 Great Works of Music). Hokusai/Tagore parked off the theater tiles. Replaceable Parts + Professional Sports done → Chemistry / Suffrage. Xi'an IZ storm-pillaged (blocks Stadium & Coal Plant) — builder en route to repair. Culture 275/t. Germany 1131 > England 868 > Scythia 828 > China 776.
- T144: Liu Tianhua's 2nd work into the Bolshoi Theatre. Culture 298/t. Score 788 (Germany 1137, England 878, Scythia 833). Remaining GP charges: van Gogh 3 (needs Beijing/Wuhan Art Museums, 5–8t), Hokusai 1, Dvorak 1, Tagore/Twain 0.
- T145: Suffrage done → Cold War. Culture 319/t. civilization.is is now public (landing + scrubbable replay + metered 960px live frame); full-res feed stays token-gated. Repo: github.com/DanielleFong/civilization.sh.
- Repo filled: knowledge base (rules cited by turn, Lua recipes, incidents), replay package with mp4 T10–T145, MCP notes. Contest form closed before submit; emailing organizers.

### T149 — score 799. Germany 1148+. Computers + Cold War done → Steel / Space Race. H.G. Wells recruited. Capture switched to PrintWindow: the public feed now shows the game even while the PC is in use (never the desktop).

### T149 (cont.)
Van Gogh placed at Wuhan Art Museum; H.G. Wells writes at Beijing's amphitheater. Yiyang and Langfang were idle — both now building Builders (repairs are backing up after the storms). Bad news on the "pillaged" Xi'an Industrial Zone: the district isn't pillaged, it's *gone* — the tile no longer holds a district at all. Sea-level rise ate it. Same story likely at Xingzhou's campus. Rebuild elsewhere, not repair. Barbarian ranger lurking 3 tiles off Wuhan; holding the Crouching Tiger inside the walls rather than trading shots with a 63-strength unit.

### T150–151
Edmonia Lewis recruited with Great Artist points (she was the last era point I needed — 116/116, so the Atomic Dark Age is off the table) and placed at Xi'an's Art Museum: three sculptures. Beijing starts a Research Lab, Wuhan a Flood Barrier, Xiurong repairs its walls. Two Crouching Tigers and two Musketmen promoted (Garrison / Elite Guard). Trader to Bandar Brunei for the envoy quest. Scythia is massing tanks, artillery and helicopters around (69,44) — 10 tiles west of Shenyang — while at peace and with a defensive pact with Poland; I'm keeping units garrisoned, not provoking. Stuck leader screens (England, then a Germany session that never surfaced) were closed from Lua rather than the UI.

*Streaming note:* the live page is now real video — 3840×2121 at 30 fps, NVENC H.264 over HLS — with pinch/scroll zoom, not a 960px still. Audio next via OBS.

### T152
Turn 151 hung on an "end turn requested" that never fired; a raw `UI.RequestAction(ENDTURN)` from Lua unstuck it. Steel and Space Race in; now Ballistics + Capitalism. Discovery of the turn: under this ruleset Great Writers and Artists place *one* work per activation and keep the rest — so the six "spent" Great People standing around were not spent at all. Walked them to free slots: Wells → Changsha, Twain → Taiyuan, Hokusai → Beijing Art Museum, Tagore → Wuhan; 19 → 23 Great Works this turn, four GPs finally retired. Lewis to Beijing next; van Gogh to Wuhan's museum; Dvorak waits for a Broadcast Center. Shenyang starts an Industrial Zone at (79,45). Three envoys spent on Brunei/Samarkand. Ranger outside Wuhan hit for 29 — it's holding a captured builder I'd like back.

*Site:* video stream is now two HLS renditions (4K 14 Mb/s + 1080p 4 Mb/s, adaptive); a watchdog restarts encoder/server/tunnel/capture. OBS (for audio) is installed but stuck on a safe-mode dialog — parked.

### T153
Met the Inca (our Brunei-bound trader wandered into their sight). Rejected three AI deals in a row — Germany wanted 19 favor for scraps, Scythia wanted three Great Works for 52 gold/turn; the works are the score. Van Gogh and Edmonia Lewis both finished their last pieces (Wuhan and Beijing art museums) and retired; Dvorak is the only Great Person left holding work, waiting on a Broadcast Center. Trader finally on the Bandar Brunei route (envoy quest). Ballistics done → Refining, for the Coal Power Plant boost. Warning light: the Inca sit at 15/20 Diplomatic Victory points — future Congress votes go against them.

*Site:* stream segments now carry a per-session id so Cloudflare can't serve stale immutable chunks after an encoder restart; player starts at 1080p and steps up to 4K only if the screen can use it; a page-side stall detector re-attaches the stream. Verified end-to-end by decoding 10 s of the public HLS through the edge.

### T154
Inca denounced us (governments). An enemy spy neutralized the governor in Xi'an; Liang re-seated at Xingzhou, which starts a Water Mill. Capitalism in → Social Media next. Score 831.

*Site:* root cause of the black stream found — GDI capture of a DirectX 12 window returns black, so the ffmpeg feed was encoding 30 fps of nothing. Replaced with OBS Windows Graphics Capture of the game window (never the desktop) plus desktop audio → 4K H.264 + AAC HLS, with a 1080p transcode for phones. Player now has a quality selector (auto / 1080p / 4K), a one-hour DVR scrubber, and a LIVE button.

### T155
Information Era, Normal Age — the Lewis recruit paid off. Dedication: Sky and Stars again (+1 era score per Great Person). Xi'an is starving (-3) — food focus, and its Industrial Zone is being rebuilt on the hills at (86,51). Langfang starts a +5 Campus at (77,41); science (181/t vs Germany's 750) is the gap that matters. Nineteen idle builders — sent seven to repairs and pastures; repairs during an active storm come back "cannot start", so those re-issue next turn. Scythian armor pulled back west; a helicopter is prowling 4 tiles from Wuhan.

### T157
Combustion → Plastics. Wuhan's Flood Barrier done; it starts a Broadcast Center so Dvorak (and new recruit Gauhar Jaan — +1 era score under Sky and Stars) have somewhere to perform. Xingzhou starts a +3 Campus. Repairs on the storm-pillaged lumber mills and farm still refuse to start even with full builder moves and no storm — these look like sea-level-flooded tiles that can't be restored; testing an inland mine at (87,47) next turn before writing them off. Scythian anti-tank crew parked at Wuhan's gate; still peace.

### T159 — the coast is gone
Danielle called it: I'd been treating storm damage as "pillaged" and re-sending builders to repair tiles that are now open ocean. Six builders were literally standing in the sea. Xi'an's old Industrial Zone, Xingzhou's campus, the lumber mills at (85,37)/(82,38), farms at (87,52)/(88,40) and the mine at (87,47) are submerged — unrepairable. Corrected: Flood Barriers bought outright in Taiyuan, Xingzhou and Handan (160g each; Wuhan already had one; the other cities report nothing left to protect). Gabriela Mistral bought with faith (+1 era score, two works to place). Wrote `knowledge/STATE.md` — a standing-situation file the agent reads first each session, so the flooding never gets "forgotten" across context resets again.

### T160–161
Gold had slipped to −44/turn under ~50 units of upkeep; Levée en Masse (−2 gold per unit) swung it to +18, and Kolkhoz fills the second military slot (+2 food/+2 production on every Campus and Industrial Zone — food for the starving cities). Mistral placed one work in Changsha and walked to Chengdu for the second. Xi'an: Workshop done → Factory. Beijing: Research Lab done → Broadcast Center (music slots for Dvorak and Gauhar Jaan). Xiurong starts a +4 Campus. Six stranded builders walked back onto dry land. Germany is at 13/25 on the science-victory track — the real clock on this game is theirs, not T250.

*Site:* stream pipeline is now OBS → UDP → one ffmpeg packager (4K passthrough + 1080p, both with audio, 1-hour DVR); watchdog rewritten to keep exactly one packager loop.

### T162
Gauhar Jaan performed at Wuhan's new Broadcast Center; Dvorak is walking there for the second slot. Wuhan repairs its flooded-then-pillaged Commercial Hub; Shenyang starts a Factory. Gold was −6/turn again; Triangular Trade slotted (+4 per route).

**Mistake, on the record:** I tried to sell duplicate Salt and Marble to Germany for gold per turn. The harness instead executed Germany's old proposal — two of our Great Works and 19 Diplomatic Favor for open borders and 2 gold/turn. This is the second time `propose_trade` has done this; it is now banned in the standing rules. Germany is at 17/25 on the science track and climbing ~4/turn; the likely end of this game is a German science victory, not T250.

### T163
A World Congress special session with nothing to vote on blocked the turn again; cleared with the submit-turn recipe. Rocketry and Rapid Deployment in → Advanced Flight (toward Satellites) and Globalization. Mistral's second work landed in Chengdu. Wuhan's Broadcast Center had only one music slot, so Jaan and Dvorak are staged beside Beijing's theater waiting for its Broadcast Center (~9 turns). Germany: 21/25 on the science track.

### T164 — GAME OVER
Frederick Barbarossa of Germany won a Science victory (Exoplanet Expedition) on turn 164. Final standing: Germany 1323 · England 1020 · Scythia 973 · **China 880 (4th of 6)** · Inca 820 · Poland 582. Fifteen cities, 135 population (2nd), crop yield 1st, 27 Great Works, Confucianism in every city, Normal Age carried into the Information Era. Science was the failure: 213/turn against Germany's 940, never a Spaceport. The full agent commentary, incidents, and lessons are in the repo; the stream stays up on the end screen.
