Yeah, that is why I never charge on turn 1.
To my surprise I won the bid for the Armored Fist of God, and I have some easy neighboring provinces. I don't see anyone near me yet.
Selling blood slaves for 10 gold a piece, though that won't matter for a while. I will agree to NOT sell blood slaves to people for 50 gold per embargo target.
Man am I smug.
EDIT: We might get a double turn today!
