Zenga Turns 91 - 120
Sorry about the late last report. Here goes...
750BC(91)
Sabratha builds temple, start court.
Texcoco razed after swords defeat 2 spear with 1 loss. Aztecs down to 1 city.
730BC(92)
Carthage builds horse, start settler. Hadrumetum builds warrior, start temple. Hippo builds galley, start court.
Aztecs found a second city. Galley in NW spots light green borders near Munich, contact with both civs will be made next turn.
710BC(93)
Theveste builds temple, start settler.
Germans contacted they're miles behind. Move galley to gain contact with Greece first to see if this is an indication of the other civs in general.
Contact Greece, they aren't quite as badly off. The German defender in Munich had lost HP's so maybe a war is ongoing over there. Need to get embassies to make sure.
First things first, trade Greece Maths for contact with China, TM and 92g.
Quick check with China, no gold. Trade Germans Maths for WM and 15g. Trade China Maths for WM and 4g. Trade Germany Phil for 62g. Trade Germany Currency for 115g (bankrupting them). Trade Greece Currency for WM and 47g (bankrupting everyone on the other continent).
Establish all embassies except Aztec. Looks like Athens will get the Pyramids first.

2 spear defeated at Tlatelolco, 1 sword lost, and the city is taken. The Aztecs are no more.
Incense deal with America expires. Don't renew since they are the next target and we should take their Incense shortly. Go for a change to Republic and hope for a good roll of the die. set some clowns in bigger cities first. 6 turns of anarchy.
410BC(108)
Wait.
390BC(109)
Not much bar the galley exploring the southern island. It's large enough for a few cities and there seem plenty of barb workers there.
370BC(110)
Same as before. There looks like another island to the W of the first. Galley N of China takes wrong path and ends turn in sea.
Zenga 370BC

Chinese ask us to move out of their territory, we do. Galley sinks!
330BC(112)
Carthage riots. Never noticed growth last turn.
310BC(113)
Carthage now a Republic. America has joined us in the Middle Ages, lacking Republic. Look to take them next. Nobody has researched Literature yet, I'm not going to bother.

Utica builds sword, start sword. Hippo builds court, start barracks.
With the GLH due shortly in Leptis Magna I hope to be able to settle the 2 islands to the SW as well as locate possibly more land. The Lighthouse will also allow easy travel straight to Chinese lands from our E coast.
