We have Elephantine, ivory, and can build WEs, but it has been tedious. Hat quit making mistakes and started whipping units in numbers. He will give us his techs for peace, but if we continue and take Alexandria and Illinois, might be able to get Lit and Giza (if we want it) as well for peace.
AP vote has just taken place at the beginning of this turn, proposing peace with Cyrus, and I did not defy it, thinking could make peace for 60 gold this turn. Next thing I know, Cyrus’s forces show up at the eastern edge of Opis, just asking to be slaughtered, but don’t think it can be done this turn – be crosses against cats over a river. (Do cats get river defense?) Peace treaty with the Babs just became breakable, so we could attack but would be at war with both. Have left the units out west unmoved, so next player can make the decision. Might be worth testing.
Also, left several new builds on hold, using a settler as a placeholder.
Attacking Ham looks to be extremely perilous, but not sure what the other option is.
Sent caravel exploring and continue to find a strange map. There may be a north/south barrier. At least doesn’t look like we can sail west from Babylon to Mongolia. Still not finding happiness resources.
Some details:
Killed a Persian archer and can now get a little gold for peace.
Our resourceful Bab spy was killed near the capital, and I have just built a new one, heading for Pat.
Had to build wealth in a majority of our cities for much of my set in order to stay in the black, but we are in better shape now and need to do some planning and prioritizing before proceeding.
Ham sent a caravel to Kagoshima, and I was concerned that another peace vote would be taken and a missionary dropped of, but didn’t happen.
Captured Heliopolis (on a hill), losing 1sp, 1sw, 1axe, and 2 trebs; gained 120 gold
Captured Elephantine on grassland, but, thanks to the rng, lost 3 trebs (all slight favorites), 2 crosses, 1 axe and 1 cat; again gained about 120 gold
Destroyed a great many Egyptian units during the turn set, as Hat was foolish initially. Estimated that I was destroying 4 units for each one lost, yet they kept coming
Illinois was defended by only 2 longbows about 4 turns ago
Eliz is now running Free Market, and numerous GPs have been born in far away lands
We discovered iron in a mine near Vij
Getting way late. Will check in tomorrow.
Save (But not the one at central. Can't get in there to post it. Will try tomorrow. Next player can't use this one..): http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=319442&stc=1&d=1334904976
