and here we go:
preturn: looks good, but please do NOT use auto-cancel settings for workers!
1 - I am tempted to trade Wri to Arabs for 98 - they would get it soon anyaways. But as they should not known anyone who has it I desist.
2 - Lux to 20% for Nicea and some MMing. Const was on 9spt, not good for a 30 shield build!
3 - Inca are dead! Persia has connected iron - i'll see what our dromon can do about that!
Indeed it hits and disconnects the iron again
I find a very good spot to annoy the Maya with roadcuttin', if needs be
4 - Persia ships troops from Sidon. Two Immos have entered the town and two spears and another immo are on the way there, so I uess they are shipping troops, not a settler. Well, the dromon is in palce.....
Curragh ready for suicide run from Arabia. Const is on 10spt without taking any inportant tiles from other towns. A new Dromon goes south and east to help stopping Persian ships.
5 - MoM in Perse. Hurt Persian Galley does a runner home
Bombarding Dyes now - want to linger near Sidon as the healed Galley will try again....
Change Nicea to settler. I see no reason to have to worry about happines there (or rush a temple now) when there's a cow in the 21 that can be made accessible with settling a town at the coast, plus the to-be-town being worthwhile.
6 - Persians reconnect iron, some untis go south from Sidon. They seem to have a southern town on galleys, too. More food for the fishes. Suicide curragh has survived, again at risk now showing an island with no owner visible. Iron bombard misses.
7 - our green firend is afloat again - bombard misses. settler from Varna goes west-ih, worker ordered. Suicid curragh save at a 3-tile island, more land to see already!
8 - Adrianople has Temple now, set it for Palace, as any build there will take longer than my remaining turns. Decide against a warrior for happiness as this would be wastefull.
Persian Galley now takes a hit. Suicide Curragh find what looks like another small island and one that may or may not stretch SE and be bigger.^
I can't resist: Maths to Abe for 230 Gold
62 of that is spent on an embassy in Mayaland,
and another 414 on a cautious steel. Revolt now or later??????
I draw 6 turns, not too shabby!
If anyone disagrees with Monarchy I will be quite mad and type a lengthy angry post as to why I think it a good idea when it comes cheap and early.
9 - Definately more land in sight now near the suicide curragh!
I decide I am an idiot and reverse my decision for the varna settler - we will colonize that one tile island!
The Persian Galley has made it into Sardis but goes down to 1 HP by bombard.
10 - not much to report here - anarchy is boooooooooring!
where are we... a settler is soon due in Nicae and we can buil dromons like crazy. Mon will help with prod and happiness due to Mil police, too.
the save
