Right I've played ten turns. I got PP, met Louis (who's still only on paper), and started war with Sury.
My micro decisions are pretty bad, I'll blame my cold, it's really killing my concentration, but everything else went well.
Turnlog:
T35:
Some manoeuvering.
T36:
Hakata Samurai>Sword.
Kamawhatever Samurai>Forge
T37:
more manouevres, I sent a cata to inspect Sury. T40 for results.
T38:
Sci to zero (first bit of weed, should have done this the previous turn).
T39:
Asoka wants:
As he's only WE with Sury and we make Sury dead soon, OK.
I also decide to sell him some stuff:
I also did a straight swap of Rice for Wheat (took pic didn't save). We get our own wheat soon, but the diplo won't hurt.
Hakata Cata>Samurai.
Changsha Samurai>Longbow.
T40:
Asoka wanted CS for Music and change and I said no. I don't see the point in a music trade.
2 pop Whip the library in Dongjiang. My addled brain says big overflow and is proven right.
Oh and the status report on Sury:
One of the Phants is poking around Tibet, the other has ridden off into the sunset.
T41:
Asoka wants:
I say no on the grounds of we don't want to give Chinggis an excuse.
Dongjian Lib>Chouse.
T42:
Heian Uni>Harbour (will get 2 gpt at the moment)
Sci back to 100%
T43:
Chinggis wants:
Well the request was a bit laughable so I said no.
T44:
Meet Louis. It looks like:
He has quite a few techs on us, but is behind in the Lib race. Check on optics though, as he may trade that. I didn't open borders as he contacted us, and OB is useless for us without los on his cities.
Science to 0%
Printing Press>Optics (I've only overflow and 1 turn 0% in this so change can be done)
Hakata Samurai>Cata.
Chengdu Granary>Chouse. The Elephant is poking around here so mind the workers.
Changsha Longbow>Pike (LB is gone to Chengdu as extra protection).
We get the black pearl event in Guangzhou (knew a girl from there once, she was pretty, but not very nice).
I declare on Sury, and move in on Hanoi (waited this long just to get the cata back).
T45:
Lose 2*catas and a raw Samurai to take Hanoi, with the GG (it was a 99.9% battle). The city still had only two L'bows, so no danger. As above the Elephant is nosing around Chengdu, so send the Pike up there when he finishes.
I keep the city as it is a nice location. It has granary attached so I put in Chouse.
We get GM van Diemen in Kamawhatever. I have him signposted on a boat.
Heian-Kyo Harbour>Lhouse.
I definitely could have done better, was a bit slow in attacking, and my micro is off as well as my concentration. But I don't think I was too bad.
