Pre turn
establish embassy with Mongols to know what they do
IT Excellent news as
Mongols declare war on Japan
Canada loses a spear in Halifax to what must be an invisible unit from Greece, they then counter that attack, then they lose an ancient cav to us, Montreal riots
Turn 1 1AD
excellent start at Halifax as we go 3-0 and take the city
There are 6 Canadian cities left, a check reveals that they would give us 2 techs, almost 3 including monarchy
move units forward to be able to attack in 2 turns
Turn 2 25AD
decide to wait a turn to attack Quebec as we might face heavy sea bombardment and we would only lose units if we go in with too few troops
move forward so fast units can attack Toronto next turn
Turn 3 - 50AD
attack Toronto and after 2 defeats, find that they have knights, however the knight goes down to our chariot
and we take the city
spot a pike with 3 settlers
use a catapult to catch those 3 workers for us, get a 4th settler using an enslaver
move troops next to Quebec
IT we lose the covering spear after bombardment and a LB attack
Canada also drops a spear further up north
Chinese finish Great Wall
Turn 4 - 75AD
lose 1 chariot and 2 tomahawks, but take Quebec and gain a MGL, which is sent back for a market rush
take out a spear behind the lines
start to march towards Edmonton, there are 3 more cities left for us to take, monarchy and republic are now a close for us
IT Canada drops 3 units next to Quebec, Egypt finishes Dome of the Rock
Turn 5 - 100AD
rush market in New York
whittle down the stack of 3, take care of a dropped spear behind the lines
send a boat on a suicide mission way east
IT Canada drops 2 defenders next to Quebec, good luck with that
we know we're behind in techs as the Turks finish Philosophers Stone
Turn 6 - 125AD
move troops towards the remaining cities
IT Canada clearly gassed as they cannot muster a single attack besides the annoying sea bombards
Turn 7 - 150AD
lose 3 units but secure us the first lux, furs at Edmonton
on the northeastern coats, we finally bump into someone new, the British who are up all tech as well
IT all the Canadians can do is to pillage a tile
Turn 8 - 175AD
attack Calgary and win 5/4 with our tomahawks against pikes, extremely good RnG
this leaves us with Surrey, we take the city losing one chariot
the Canadian campaign is over
In the north we meet another Civ, the Aztecs, up all known techs
Time to broker with Canada: we get this deal
Unfortunately all Civs, have all other techs above us.
Get us Dark Ages from Japan as this is the only tech gaining access to another tech right now for 500gold and 47gpt, get feudalism from Aztecs for 695g and 40 gpt
we can't get Religion and I guess we need to research at ourselves to gain access to chivalry while preparing for a Greek campaign
IT Portuguese finish Hagia Sophia
Turn 9 - 200AD
a German chariot shows up near our capital
IT no attack
Turn 10 - 225AD
continue to build infrastructure for our switch to monarchy
we will get a few more markets, have built culture in the south
I do not know when is the best time to revolt. maybe we revolt now or wait for the Greek campaign as unit costs + the gpt
for the techs we bought will drag us a little.
There is a settler pair that could settle a small void north of Toronto
I guess Montreal will be the best spot to start an attack once the borders expand
The situation in our south
