Well, this certainly has been an intriguing game. I managed to pop HBR from a goody hut fairly early. I made the obvious choice of whipping up a horde of Horse Archers and quickly wiped out Huayna Capac, my closest and potentially most dangerous neighbor. What a glorious undertaking, to trounce that snooty, fast-teching, wonder spamming fiend before he even got access to copper.
Anyway, that was the easy part. Now I find myself a bit overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting to get such a fast jump in the game and I'd like to avoid any hubris, so I've come to you guys for help. As you can plainly see from the save, my economy is in bad shape. I'm just out of range of having my units go on strike, so at least it isn't too bad. My remaining neighbors are weak little Asoka and strong, threatening Saladin. Should I switch from researching Construction to something like Currency, or should I just keep spamming libraries for scientists? Saladin founded Buddhism in Mecca, and it's currently the only religion on our island. My next plan of attack would be to go catapults/axemen/horse archers to take the holy city and eventually build the shrine to keep my war machine running for the rest of the game. That is, unless you guys have something different in mind.
Funny how the RNG finally throws me a huge advantage early in the game and I'm so dumbstruck by it that now I'm at a loss for how to follow up.
EDIT: Epic speed. Been playing on it so long I assumed it was the default. Forgot about 'standard.'
