I played until we get communism (We missed the great spy by 4 turn for Catherine).
I planed it for the golden age still had 1 turn to change civic.
I propose to go free religion/ communism/free speech/ caste or slavery (I don’t know)
So what happen during 12 -13 turns?
I start by reviewing our trade agrements (gained 15 golds/turns
)
I build observatories, banks and galleons.
I start putting watermills everywhere cottage would not fit.
We got a great merchant witch I used for a golden age (change to free speech because of town bonus)
I catch the hut in the middle of pacific for 57 golds
I met Aztec and inca. They have nothing to teach to us
I funded 3 cities :
one in Siberia to block Catherine in a gem/fur spot,
one in Australia in the silver/copper/uranium (I know this map by hearth
) spot,
one in chile.
I bring armies near the barbarian city in Australia (1 musquetman, 3 keshik and 1 crusader) but barbarians are tough guys, they have 4 longbows on a hill
, I let the next player attack or not.
I’m bringing armies in chile to take the city in argentina but they could be derived to the austrialian barbarian city.
For international relation, Frederic asked me to cancel our relation with japan, I agreed for the +1 only. That mean we can't cross japans lands
I refused everything else.
China and Persia declared war on asoka. The war shouldn’t be very long
At one point asoka asked for help against Arabia (Persia), I refused but consider it for a lot of time. I still have the save of the previous turn if we decide to change path.
We still need to bring 2 settlers in Australia (whale and copper spots).
For next tech, I put replacable part as a placeholder. This one has my preference but could be changed.
