Turn 0: I make peace with Seljuqs, they give us 230 gold and 1 gpt. I bribe the Fatimid to do peace with Armenia for the price of religious unity and algebra.
Turn 1: Banking finished, started music theory. I generally built alot of banks, plus marksmen for the forts. Three cities close to Iraq builds orthodox missionaries. Wasit captured.
Turn 2: Great Engineer hurries Soltanieyh. Not much else happening. I have a little difficulty on finding meaningful things for our workers to do, they mostly build forts.
Turn 3: As you expected, Georgia declares war. As we don't want to expand, I don't conduct any offensive operations towards them. Soltanieyh finished in Bagdhad. Ahvaz captured, and expansion finished for now.
Turn 4: Not much of interest happens, a few Georgian units destroyed.
Turn 5: Music theory finished, black powder started. 18 turns @70% science (+50 gpt). I built a missionary, but Mevlanas tomb don't need islam, so the missionary is left sleeping.
TUrn 6: An angle of mercy arrives in Constantinople. I choose the health (and happiness) bonus. Meet Khwarezm, who are furious. Missionaries spread orthodoxy in Ahvaz and Wasit.
Turn 7: 1169 has arrived, and no Ayyubids in sight.
Turn 8: Orthodoxy spread in Kufa, Iraq is christianised.
Turn 9: Constantinople finishes Ulan Beg Observatory. Black powder down to 12 turns. Starts Grand Bazaar next. Smyrna starts Melvanas Tomb. Perre founded (1E of the horse, northen Syria).
Turn 10: Realized we were at war with Ghaznavids, made peace with them and they gave us quite some gold (forgot the exact amount). A small Georgian troop is threatening Trebizond. The cataphracts close, plus heavy lancers, should be more than enough to deal with it. There is currently 1 marksmen en route to each of the Iraqi cities, but perhaps we want two each? Some of the border forts in Anatolia still requires marksmen, for the mongols.
To do: Prepare a few more defenders for the mongols in Iraq and the Anatolian border.
Build banks in all of the cities.
Decide on when to go to the offensive again. After mongols?
Edit: forgot the save.
