Pre-turn: I change some stuff first , Delhi still doesnt have a granery and needs to grow 4 pop , that aint good!
Also notice my clams and pig city is undefended so send a archer in.
Also direct all my EP's towards Baldy .
IBT:We are the most cultured !
325BC: Literature > mathemathics , trade aestics with Baldy for monotheism , I need OR to speed up the great library. Also start some settlers.
250BC: Monty gets the statue of Zeus , yuck!
200BC: Remember Monty made peace with Bella last round ?
Well it seems he doesnt mind giving his units a nice long walk since they are on the move! My scout is doing what he should , scouting .
150BC: Mathemathics comes in , start on currency.
Baldy gets a city down near the dye , ivory banana 2 turns before my settler finishes ...
100BC: First settler is on the move , second is also almost done .
I have to make a decision here since I dont have enough army to protect my new city's from Monty's stacks and I would hate losing the spots to Baldy so I make peace with Monty , I give him alphabet .
Only baldy will trade with him but I can bribe him into a war later when I got more techs to give him so alphabet wont be of much use to Monty.
75BC: Agra founded
Its quite a nice city once the jungles are cleared , lots of food.
25BC: GE born somewhere.
Baldy is getting a nice tech lead.
Attacking him in the near future is out of the question.
1AD: Parthenon build by Monty , I guess he got the GE .
GP born somewhere.
25AD: Shwedagon paya build by Monty , is he a wonderwhore now?
Hindu shrine build in distant land.
50AD: Calcutta founded , looks like a amazing city , a river 2 gems , 2 dye's and a irrigated wheat!
75AD: Currenry > Code of Law
100AD: Christianity founded in Barcelona , a double holy city!
125AD: We get The Great Library !
After looking at the map for 10 min I just cant decide where to build the NE so im gonna wait , im leaning towards Agra.
After checking for some tech trades im becoming scared , here is why
However since we still have a peace treaty I think (hope) it wont be me he will be comin for , I need some military soon , he has a lot more power and is running theology and police state coupled with a free combat 1.
Baldy wont trade for now and Bella hit the WFYABTA limit.
150AD: Thank God! He declares on Bella.
Bella builds the Judaism shrine.
We pop a GS , settle in Delhi.
Power graph looks scary , I hope Bella survives cause im in no position to help her.
200AD: CoL comes in starts on Calender
Check with Baldy , he doesnt want to fight Monty any more , damnit!
Start building courthouses all over.
250AD: Another GS is born , bulb Philosophy
Get a second holy city , I dont plan on spreading these though.
275AD: Baldy gets a GS , Bella gets a GG
Lahore is settled (forgot SS) its on the spot that had a sign with city on it a few screenshots ago. It gets sugar and banana.
My scout gets to Madrid only to find 4 units left that are heavily damaged , looks like it was a close fight here , only 2 of Monty's unit here badly wounded.
Gems are finally online , my economy is down to 10% but the slider is meaningless anyway , all my science comes from specialists , first courthouses are finishing , whipped a few aswell.
375AD: Calender comes in , start on Civil Service.
Bribe Baldy to attack Monty at heavy price , it costs me currency , CoL and literature but I think its worth it , Baldy is about as strong as Monty and it saves me from building to many units.
Sell literature to Bella for 140g
400-500AD: 2 requests from Monty to stop trading and declare on Bella , no.
I make a demand to Monty for some gold and hope he agrees so the others cant ask me to declare war but Monty laughs at my power .
Baldy wants me to join in on the fun , im scared but its the best choice to agree , I need to get to friendly so they finally trade with me again.
I convert to caste + pacifism .
520AD: Fight comin up!
Im starting to feel sorry for that scout , he has been alive for more then 4500 years and seen so many battles, could it be , is he THE highlander?
540AD: Monty gets a GG , great even more XP , he also builds the MoM for longer golden ages.
Bella is getting battered!
Where the hell is Baldy!
560AD: Monty burned Santiago
580AD: Civil Service > Paper , get another GS , sleep for now.
Baldy is on the move
600AD: Baldy gets a great artist,
IBT: My highlander gets attacked by a catapult
620AD: Hanging gardens build somewhere.
BIG FIGHT comin up , you can see Baldy's units next to my scout .
640AD: Change research to Theology for 1 turn , Bella is friendly and need a turn to get the trade in.
Switch to bureaucracy
The fight continious.
660AD: Yet another GS is born , sleep for now.
Get the trade done with Bella , needed a turn of research towards Theology.
Continue researching paper
Monty is a beast , he killed nearly all of Baldy's units and all Bella's units. Even with 1v3 he keeps killing us!
My entire army besides garrison units , DONT LAUGH!
I captured the city , lost 1 sword and got a nice bonus , the city holds the MoM !
Check for peace but Monty wants his city back , HELL NO!
Monty still healing at Sevilla.
680AD: Paper comes in > education , decide to burn 2 GS on it even though I waste 600 beakers , I hope faster university's and faster oxford makes up for it , I have plenty of GS comin in anyway.
Start building university's everywhere that has its courthouse and granery.
Start researching liberalism but will go slowly .
720AD: Bella makes peace , dont wanna take the risk of his stacks comin for me so I make peace and give him theology , he has all the religious civics anyway.
740AD: Another GS is born , sleep for now.
Gonna stay in these civics for a bit longer despite needing OR and slavery to whip university's.
2 GS incomin in the next turns.
Steal HBR from Baldy , the spy gets cought but no -1 on the diplo screen.
Now I can finally make some elephants.
800AD: Another GS is born , these guys grow like weed!
Switch to OR and slavery and whip a horsehockyload of stuff crippling my research.
Trade philosophy and paper for metal casting and feudalism with Baldy.
I wish I could add more screens but I am at the picture limit so no screens of tech status / demographics /map .
