T1
I see my starting position, it seems to be fine, hills to the north and ocean to the west.
I chose Japan for thier excellent Unique unit, The Samuri, and the fact all units attack as if at full health, this will give an excellent advantage in the mid-game for warmongering
. This will be good for taking cities.
So I move my warrior north and find ivory and sheep, I decide to settle on the spot because of the coast and the abundance of hills in the area.
I start on a scout and queue up a worker, while setting my warrior on auto explore for the time being, and start work on AH for horses, which are an excellent early-mid game rescource.
T4
My warrior heads southwest and discovers TWO wines right next to each other
, I have never seen that happen before. Though, as I find out later, there is an extreme abundance of wine in the immediate area.
T6
I spy the borders of Copenhagen, just at the top of the fog, too close to my wine than I would like. But it is a marritime CS as I recall, so it would be best to settle soon as not to anger them.
T7
An Ottoman scout arrives from the north, I will need to send someone up there soon to spy on them. My scout finishes just in time as my worker starts building, I will also work on a settler next for those precious wine.
T9
I meet Brussles, a cultured CS right next to Copenhagen, I also finish AH and start Trapping, for the gold of course.
T13
My scout finds a peninsila to the south and officialy meets Copenhagen
T14
My northbound warrior finds the natural Mt.Fuji for a +5 happiness bonus
T16
The ottomans offer me a Pact of Cooperation, I say yes to keep on their good side for now, no telling what will happen later.
T17
My scout finds a Encampment right next to where I wanted to settle, I will have to build another warrior to kill them.
T21
I finish Trapping and my worker at the same time, so I start on a warrior to take out the barbarians. I also start on all those hills in the area.
T25
I meet Russia and then send them on their way. I am also ranked 2nd Last for most fed people with Suleiman in 2nd. I then meet Hanoni, a militaistic CS with two incence. I might take them out later. I skip a Policiy for now too as there is no need for one at the moment.
T28
I finish mining and start on Masonry for spearmen.
T30
I finish my warrior and start a settler
T32
My warrior finds the barbs and fortifies on a hill

T38
Catherine ends the Pact, ?
T40
I choose the rough terrain promotion and heal on a mountain for my warrior
T45
My Settler finishes, I buy an archer and start on bronze working
T48

Oops, wrong game
