This came after a game whose video unfortunately got owned by the BSW server restart - that happens every night and takes a rather long time before you can play again. teokop won that one by bodying me on the builds too, so i want to acknowledge that!
This one, on the other hand, does not go so well for our pal teo. It looked good at first, but i didn't expect him not to be able to build after outbidding me on the 26. He then got greedy trying to drive up the price on my 21 plant the next turn, and i stuck him with it before too long; 25 arriving shortly after that was the last nail in the coffin. He just lacked any momentum to stop my builds, and i obtained 12 Step 1 cities with just one tiny jump involved! Remember, each Step 1 city in 2P is a $10 swing over your opponent (minus the costs of any jumps).
This is a game that really shows why it doesn't always pay to shell out for capacity in 2P!
