Well, here's another one for you. This time it's pretty early in the the game, so I don't think I've screwed it up completely, but please, don't spare the whip with me. I got tons of useful advice before.

This time I'm playing Isabella (random choice) and heading for the space race, so no nukes this time, ok? Nukes are fun in moderation. :) As you can see, I already have a big stack of obsolete units, but I do think I'm going to need them because I'm going after Freddy as soon as I get enough maces and cats to do it. Hopefully Qin can cope while I'm building them. I'll need all those chariots for defense, I think. And this time I do have sufficient amount of workers, althouhg (and I know some of you will see red for this) some of them are already automated. Maybe most of them. I know it's a bad habit, but when there is so many of them, I just automate one. Then another. And, at some point, all of them. Of course I have to lose that habit if I'm ever going to move up a level, but I'm not sure you HAVE to manually control them all the way in noble, am I wrong? Just spam some cottages early on and thats it. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a bit worried about Churchill in the east. He doesn't like me much, he already has one vassal and he has been the military leader all the time in this game. And I have been warring agaist him once before in some earlier game, so I know what he is like. Originally I was pondering about attacking him first, but it just seemed too hard a job, so I'm glad Qin declared on Freddy first. But Winston IS going to give me a hard time later, isn't he? Well, see for yourselves:
