Malcolm was a very good cat.
Game continued...
IBT:
It gets worse. Australia lands a stack on our home island. It will be tricky to get troops there to rout them.
And we've lost Saltpeter. Ouch.
Turn 6 (1480 AD):
Well, it could be worse. We can seize Salt from the Persians if we build a new city near Arbela.
Defense of Medan:
Cav retreats from Musket (3/4)
Cav kills Musket
Cav kills Cav
rInfantry dies to MDI
rSword kills 2/4 MDI
Near Bogor -
Sword kills Aus Spear => 2/4
MDI kills Spear
Binjai founded near Tegal.
We redline two Infantry next to Banjarmasin.
Lose eCav on the first
Second eCav handles it.
vCav loses 2hp on the second but kills it.
Well, so much for the Arbela plan. Army *retreats* from a single Infantry
IBT:
Australia lands on New Guinea.
Turn 7 (1485 AD):
Karachi: Bombard the defenders. We only manage to ping two Infantry
Army kills 2 Infantry and razes the city! We burn at least one Frigate with the city
Found Kendari near Arbela.
Bandar Lampung: Cav narrowly kills Musket
MDI kills MDI
Looks like the Zulu are set to take Hamadan (Sri Lanka)
IBT:
Persian Infantry attacks ...and promotes our Conscript Inf
Sioux complete the Manhattan project.
Turn 8 (1490 AD):
Not much...just moving troops into position.
IBT:
Not much happens...so much for Persian attack!
Turn 9 (1495 AD):
Arbela:
We bombard and redline 3 Infantry plus a Cav
We lose one eCav on the first redlined Inf
Cav kills it => 2/5
Cav kills second Inf => 2/5
Lose vCav
vCav kills Inf
vCav kills Cav and razes the city!
Purwokerto founded to claim the Salt.
Antioch:
Army kills Inf
First Cav Army kills second Inf
First Cav Army kills third Inf and razes the city.
IBT:
All is quiet...
Turn 10 (1500 AD):
Pematang Siantar founded between Tegal and Kendari, helping lock in the Indian subcontinent for us.
Palangkaraya founded between Kendari and Purwokerto -- again, helping establish our territory.
Found Dumai near Purwokerto, too.
I tried to prioritize settling cities on hills and plains vs. grassland in India; that area will simply be tax-farm country.
