Screenshot.

Good job on the Vikings! Now to make the English disappear from Spain.

I just downloaded the save; haven't looked at it.

Three knights in action, many more being made: good.
Lots of maces to help them, better.

The MA with England expires sometime this turnset, IIRC.

England has 11 cities on Spain, 10 on South Spain and one up the coast. She has two or three cities on islands; two on the island east of England and maybe one sharing an island with Persia north of Salamanca. I am using the mini-map on the screen shot as a guide for this and that city does not have enough territory for me to be sure of which civ it belongs to.

England has several cities over size six, so defenders get an extra bonus. We will need the catapults to hurt them and reduce the city size down to five or so.

Need to find the English iron/saltpeter and disconnect it. Or pillage roads for the cities we want to attack. Pillage three tiles and York is disconnected from iron, cannnot tell about Coventry from the screen shot.

York is surrounded by four incense. We have only one, four spare could be useful to trade.

The funs not over yet!

Long Range Goals

• Be the first Spainard to the Stars.
• Need to greatly increase research ability to learn faster.
• Need to greatly increase production ability to make stuff faster.
• Need to greatly decrease AI's ablity to research and produce.

Mid Range Goals

• Remove England from the land of Spain.
• Create a second production core in the south of Spain.

Short Range Goals

• The Forbidden Palace completes this turnset. I would like to try to jump the Palace from Seville to Trondheim. This would make our southern cities much more productive. Will have to coordinate with CivAssist to make sure the jump comes out like we want. May not be able to do the Palace Jump in my turns.
• If the Palace Jump does occur, need to resettle Madrid.
• Tweak science to learn Gunpowder faster, if possible.
• Straighten out the road to York to allow our new units to get to the front faster.
• Prepare for war on England. Concentrate forces for attack on York and raids to deny England access to Iron and Saltpeter.

The road to York needs three tiles to be roaded to make the road straighter and faster.

Road to York 680 AD

Our Knights are coming from the north and have to pass by Odense on the way to England. By roading the three yellow-line tiles, we take advantage of the existing road system and provide a direct path to feed units to the front.

Getting ready for England
England has Gunpowder and probably built some Musketmen. Until we find and disrupt England's supply of Saltpeter, we will face some tough battles in the larger cities as Knights face Muskets.

York is the nearest city to our current production core. It is the northwest most of the English cities and has good defensive terrain for us. Our advance into England will be along the NW-SE axis.

I see us attacking one city at a time, not several at one time as we did with the Vikings. We face very strong defensive units in Pikes and Muskets in large cities. Once Iron and Saltpeter are found and denied to England, we can begin to attrition the defenders in her cities. Catapults will lead the way, followed by Maces and Knights. We have many maces that can be used to attack England once the Palace Jump is complete and the risk of cities flipping has been reduced.

I see us attacking York, then Hasting, then Newcastle and then London. By then I would expect the English counter attacks to have ceased and we could hold in London and dispatch forces to capture Coventry and Warwick. At this point England becomes much narrower and our larger forces could support each other much easier than further north.

At a guess, and just a guess, I would expect it to take from 25 to 40 turns to remove England from Spain.

And the save is >here<.

The focus on these turns was to complete the Road to York and attempt the Palace Jump to Trondheim. Both of these were accomplished.

Workers
All worker orders were examined and occasionally changed. Too many effective Spanish workers were assigned to clearing jungle. This is better left for slave workers for now. It takes 24 worker turns to clear one tile of jungle or 48 turns for one slave. We only have 30 Spanish workers and we needed more things than just cleared jungle.

Most of the Spanish workers are now in groups of three. Roading and mining is done in multiples of three worker turns; irrigating in multiples of four. Most of what we are doing now is making roads and building mines, so groups of three are easy to handle. It takes 3WT to build a road in the plains or grassland; move three workers into that tile on turn 1 and on turn 2 start and finish the road. Quick and neat and allows units to move through that tile that turn.

The slaves are in two groups: the Jungle Stack near Bergen (11 slaves) and a road building stack near Hareid (four slaves). As long as the Slave stack tries to clear roaded jungle tiles, it will do well. It will take 5 turns to clear one jungle with that stack. If we add one more slave to the Jungle Stack, making it a stack of 12 slaves, it can clear a jungle tile in 4 turns. If we can get 16 slaves together, it would do the same job in 3 turns. But if we have 13, 14 or 15 slaves, it still takes 4 turns; the excess work is wasted.

Two workers are connecting to a second source of Saltpeter.

War with England
Except for the Road to York, little specific preparations were made for the upcoming war with England. We have over 20 units in Trondheim that were fortified to make the turn maintenance easier. Several more are on their way.

The cities around Trondheim are building barracks, which seems excessive but could be necessary. England lacks Saltpeter, so unless she has traded for it, Muskets will not be a problem. However, she can still make Knights, and they are pretty strong units. Plus, she has access to iron and will have Pikes for defense.

We may need to Muskets to defend against the English Knights. None are currently being built.

Trading
The Vikings and the Arabs both lack knowledge of Gunpowder and Banking. However, both of them are near broke. We could only get around 50 gold for selling knowledge to them. I did not try.

We have some deals expiring soon that will decrease our gold by 28 or 29 gpt. This could affect how fast we learn Chemistry.

Couple of questions and suggestions again.

Try to pick easy fights and try to lure the AI into traps. Attacking knights on mountains should be prevented. Sometimes there just might not be another way but usually one can prevent the need for that.

There are still resisters in former Viking cities, put a unit in those and they will come to their senses in a turn or two. There's a stack in Tronhem for some reason use a couple of those and send the rest to the front.

Luxes is too high. Could drop it to 10% and make 62gpt or raise science. Usually I would keep science at max or min, not in between like it's set now. We are still about par so if we can up science just a little we can overtake the AI, and sell them our techs to increase our science even more.

Why haven't you pillaged the english iron during start of the war? It's quite close to the shore. Without it the English wouldn't have knights. Should be done asap with some of the knights from London.

There are a lot of gaps also on Trondheim ring. Get some settlers from the biggest cities, get those down in size to furtehr down lux, then get markets. English are as good as gone anyway, just need a couple more knights. Could rush those as there's some gold.

You're taking a big risk keeping the English cities. Lodon has a 25% flip chance. Better to raze them, that way you're sure you won't have to conquesr them twice.

Muskets are not very usefull. Better change those builds to something else. After the english are gone take out the 1 Persian city (after deals end) and the continent will be easily kept with some knights to fight landings. I'd also change the university to a market first.

There are several knights under construction in cities without barracks, I'd change those mostly to aquaducts and markets. When war is conducted wisely 10 more knights should be enough, there are enough cities with barracks to produce those.

Oh, and congrats on your victory , no way you 're gona loose this. Just dicide how you want to win and it's yours.

Nice set of turns. Capturing five English cities is no easy task. I hope I can do as well as you did.

From the way our forces are set up it looks like the easiest plan of action is to start with the northmost English of Coventry and just march down the east coast, capturing English cities as we go. No saltpeter and soon to be no iron; they will not have long to remain English.

When I checked the territory tab on CivAssistII it shows that we are working some unimproved tiles. I will try and fix that.

Will play with the city builds and the happy and smart sliders.

Will take care of the resisters.

New Cities
Below are some dot maps of possible new city placements around Trondheim with the RCP of 5.

Trondheim 880 AD Ring 1

I will try to plant the light blue dot northwest of Trondheim. This will improve the jungle tile in one turn. This city will be next to a river so it can grow without help to size 12. But it has a lot of jungle around.
Stockholm will need to be razed and relocated to the pink dot, just 2 SE of where it is now. It looses the river but will still have access to the flood plains. If we keep Stockholm, we increase the corruption in the other five, soon to be six, cities on the first ring.

The Northwest on Ring 2 880 AD

In the northwest we can gain a net of one city on Ring 2. Stavanger and Bergen will need to be relocated. I think the pink dot is next to a river, but did not confirm that. The mountains and coastline limit what we can do.

The Southeast on Ring 2 880 AD

Newcastle will need to be relocated to either the red or white dot and a new city can take the open spot.

Rings 3 and Greater
With seven cities on Ring 1 (Reykjavik, New City1, Copenhagen, Odense, Oslo, York and New Stockholm) and nine on Ring 2 (Hastings, New Newcastle, New City2, Coventry, Santander, Teruel, New Stavanger, New City3 and New Bergen), I think that the corruption on Ring 3 and greater will be too much and the cities outside of Ring 2 will not be greatly productive for us. For now, it seems best to leave them alone and let them be worker farms or specialist cities.

The only city I will try and place will be the New City on Ring 1. The others we need to discuss, including Stockholm.

Here is how I plan to reduce Stockholm, size 5:
First turn: start a worker.
Second turn: rush the worker; size is 4.
Third turn: start a settler.
Fourth turn: rush the settler; size is 2.
Fifth turn: start a settler.
Sixth turn: rush the settler, city is abandoned.
Growth will have to be at zero for this to work.

Then the two settlers will build New Stockholm and add to New Stockholm.

Commando- I like your ideas as long as you can defeat the English in your turnset first. Once we have wiped them off of our continent, then we can move cities around on the proper rings, and work on building culture. We won't need as much military units as we do, just need a coastal defense.

I don't mind waiting on the cities for a little bit, but I would like to have the city swapping done before we learn Steam Power. Once we get Metallurgy we have three required techs to learn before we get to the Industrial Age: Physics, Theory of Gravity and Magnetism. Not sure if we need Military Tradition; I would like it for Calvary, but a lot depends on world politics. Once we get into the IA, the first thing to research would be Steam Power.

City swapping should be a task of a turnset. We could do it now, but as you pointed out, we are at war. We need to reduce England to a much smaller size before we really focus and act on the city swapping. And since we will need to cash-rush some units, we need more in the bank account also.

Jungle Clearing
I am going to put almost all the slaves together into one stack and have them work on clearing out jungle tiles. According to CivAssist, we have 27 slaves, and we only need 24 for this to work. A stack of 24 slaves can clear a jungle tile in 2 turns, and we have a lot of jungle to clear north and west of our new capital. I will start clearing out the jungles around Copenhagen, since it is out of non-jungle tiles for its citizens to work. These slaves will only clear out jungle tiles with roads, so some other workers will be roading jungle tiles that need to be cleared. I plan to keep these slaves on roads so that their work will get done faster; they will not spend a turn moving into the jungle and then a turn moving out of the just cleared tile.

The plan is to clear out three jungle tiles around Copenhagen, might even get four cleared. If the roads get built just right, all the jungles that choke our Ring 1 cities could be gone by the time we get to Steam Power.

Generally, I prefer to have the slaves do the long and nasty jobs and use native workers for building roads, mining and irrigating. Slaves are good for jungle and mountain work. Not a hard and fast rule; just what I prefer to do.

Wake maces in Trondheim.
Send one rMace to Copenhagen, send another to Reykjavik. Send the rest, 4 mace and 1 horse, towards Coventry.
Wake units in London and almost evacuate the city. Fortify rKnight and leave redlined knight. Move others east, fortify eKnight and vKnight in case English eKnight feels brave.
Move 2 wounded vKnights at 3/4, 1 vKnight at 1/4 and 1 rKnight at 1/3 onto English iron.
The English knight on the mountain next to London has four choices: the city (2 knights), the 2 knights in the grassland, the 4 knights on the iron or the 1 knight and 2 workers near Hastings. I expect it will just fortify and dare us to attack.
If London flips we lose two units, but have an eKnight and a vKnight adjacent to recapture it.
Wake vKnight in Hastings and move to protect 2 slaves east of city that English knight could get if he desired.

After Metallurgy are three required techs: Physics, Theory of Gravity and Magnetism.
Military Tradition could be useful if our pointy-stick diplomacy needs to be carried out overseas.
Otherwise, we need to get Steam Power, in the Industrial Age, as quick as possible.

Lots of people building wonders so that Spain can capture them. Nice.

Copenhagen needs its jungles removed. 24 slaves could clear one tile in two turns.
Will get slaves together to do this. Will get Spanish workers together to road the jungles that will need to be cleared. This will allow the slaves to finish a jungle tile and start on another without wasting a turn moving into the jungle.

Clearing Jungle

Three jungle tiles were cleared, but the initial setup took longer than I expected. After all 24 slaves were together, the clearing, moving and clearing got into its own rhythm and went smoothly. We have 37 slaves total so we could create a 2nd stack of jungle clearing slaves, but it could only have 12 slaves in it and would take 4 turns to clear a jungle. I have no idea what effective use could be made with just one slave, create the Trade Network (Control + N) ?

(For no real good reason I renamed all the slaves that are in the jungle clearing stack to Tarzan, after the fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, going from Tarzan01 to Tarzan24. Tarzan lived in the jungle and so will these workers for many, many turns and so the name seemed to fit.)

We have a lot of jungle tiles that need to be cleared. I began counting one time and stopped at 30 jungle tiles between Trondheim and Bergen. Ouch!

I have begun to road the jungle tiles that we will need/want to clear. This preparation will greatly help the speed of clearing the jungle tiles. Since our Tarzans will always be on a road, they can move from one cleared jungle tile to a non-cleared jungle tile and begin clearing that tile on the same turn that they finished clearing the other tile.

I think all the jungle tiles between Copenhagen, Teruel and Odense have been roaded. This leaves the area between Copenhagen, Bergen and Stavanger as the next area to road (because of new city placements) and finally the area between Copenhagen, Bergen and Reykjavik.

Once all these jungle tiles are roaded, we could take these road building workers and add them to the Tarzans, which would let us clear a jungle tile in 1 turn (!) or have a second 2-turn stack of Spanish Tarzans.

Science and Happiness Sliders
We will learn Physics in one turn, but we will have a large surplus of beakers. The smart slider needs to be dropped so that we do not lose too many beakers.

Now that we have peace with England, the happy slider can be reduced.

It would be nice to have some gold coming into our treasury for a change, instead of leaving it, as it is now.

Trading
We got Navigation when we made peace with England. We have some luxuries we have not traded. I had not traded them, thinking they might be helpful if we needed to trade for tech. The Ottomans, Persians and Babylonians are all scientific and will get a free tech when they enter the Industrial Age. I was hoping that by the time they do that, our gold and our luxuries might allow us to buy whatever tech they learned, especially if it was Steam Power.

Liverpool
I took this from England in the peace treaty just to damage England. Now I am not sure what to do with it. It needs a harbor to build better units (pike/musket for defense from England). If we had a boat, we could abandon the city and bring the settler/worker back to Spain.

Could we swap that city for a tech once the three science civs get into the next age?

Number of Turns Played
I noticed that somehow we had gotten a little bit off track in the number of turns played in the game. Instead of ending on turn 150 or 160 or 170, we were ending on 153, 163 and 173. We were consistent, just a bit off cycle. Most SGs play in ten turn sets, which we have done.

Anyway, I played the extra turns for two reason; well, actually one. I wanted to get the English off of Spain and used the off-cycle to justify that decision.

Right now, we are on turn 215. If you want to play 15 turns this next set then that will get us back on cycle. If you play 10 turns, I’ll play 5 next time and we are still back on cycle. Or some combination in-between those two. I know it is not a game-breaking decision, but playing extra turns is a breach of SG manners, so I wanted to explain the why.

CivAssist
Below is the Technology tab of CivAssist for 1000 AD. It shows the cost of the techs and how many beakers we are producing each turn. I know that a Science Specialist adds a certain number of beakers per turn, one per turn IIRC, but also commerce adds to scientific research, depending on the sliders. My machine cannot handle CivAssist and Civ3 at the same time, so I use CivAssist before or after a turnset, not during it. When I was trying to get Metallurgy in 4 turns instead of 5, I opened CivAssist, saw what I needed, closed it, opened the game, tweaked, saved the game, closed the game, and then went back to CivAssist.

Technology 1000 AD


City Builds
Even though the war was over, I did not change any build orders. We are still building a lot of military units, 16 exactly (14 vKnights and 2 vMaces). We have a strong military force, probably the strongest in the world, with 23 knights and 17 maces and a few lesser units. We have a lot of clobbering power.

But we do not need a stronger military presence right now, unless we want to invade the other continent. To do that we will need boats to move us across the sea, which we have exactly zero right now.

I still want to reach the stars, so I think that before we invade (if we invade) we need to get our research up to speed. We have two good cores of cities that will be able to research and produce faster than the AI.

I would like us to get the two Rings in place around Trondheim. In these cities I think our build order should be library -> aqueduct (if needed) -> marketplace -> university. We may want to build Copernicus’s thingee and Newton’s thingee, if they have not yet been built. We have two English settlers around Copenhagen that we could use to build the ring. Their first citizen would be English, the rest Spanish.

Overall
We have an entire continent to ourselves.
The game is ours to lose.
How do we want to win?
