Technical Note: I am playing with Solver's AI Fix
Ok, I'll be following along with what I said in my pre-4000 BC strategy post.
4000 BC
Oooh, start with a Scout. Will pop hut with him, get a map revealing more huts.
Mutal is built 1 Tile N from starting position for extra food. Start Hunting, due in 5.
Hmm, lots of lowlands to the East, I suspect my second (production-focus) city will be in the NW.
3840 BC
39 gold from a hut
3800 BC
Hunting comes in. Fishing next, due in 5.
3760 BC
Another hut, 37 gold.
3680 BC
Mutal completes Warrior. Ah, Holkan requires Bronze Working, ok, I'll research that next. Start another Warrior.
3600 BC
Fishing comes in, start Bronze Working.
Hrmmm ... not much to the NW. May be N or NE for the second city.
3520 BC
Exploring warriors pop a hut, netting 51 gold.
IT: Scouts beat Lions
3440 BC
We meet Gandhi in our SE. Looks like we have an Espionage target.
Buddhism FIADL.
3400 BC
Second Warrior comes in. Start Worker.
3320 BC
Hinduism FIADL
Hut provides us with another Scout.
3280 BC
New scout kills Wolf.
Gandhi converts to Hinduism.
3200 BC
More wolf-killing
3160 BC
Bronze Working comes in. I'm going to go with Animal Husbandry next to get the Pigs online.
3000 BC
Worker > Holkan, but I max for Growth and will switch to Settler when grows to Size 3.
Worker, of course, has nothing to do
... actually, not true. I mine the Pigs since it'll take 4 turns, exactly the amount of turns left for Animal Husbandry. That'll give me extra hammers for the Settler build while I convert to Pasture.
2800 BC
Animal Husbandry is in. Not ready to build Great Wall, so I go with Agriculture next.
2760 BC
Hut pops Writing!
2680 BC
Well well well ... Alexander
...
Mutal grows to 3 ... but I decide to finish the Holkan, as the pasture-ized pigs will help me grow to 4 in 6 as well -- I'll probably get the Settler faster this way without crimping research.
2640 BC
With Agriculture due next turn, I up espionage a bit.
2600 BC
Winston Churchill, eh?
Agriculture comes in. Start Masonry.
2520 BC
Well, investing in Espionage has revealed that Gandhi is two turns away from Monotheism. I drop Gandhi to 1 EP a turn for maintenance purposes (?) ... see if I lose the Tech knowledge.
2440 BC
Gandhi discovers Judaism. Starts researching Hunting.
Holkan completes, start Settler.
Espionage to 40%
2320 BC
Masonry comes in, start The Wheel. Espionage is dropped to 10%
2240 BC
Alex and Winnie want Open Borders. I deny them for now.
2080 BC
The Wheel comes in, start Pottery. Settler is built, start Great Wall, due in 17 with growth in 6. Settler heads to the NE.
Found a hut, gold 43 gold.
I raise Espionage to 30%. Churchill seems to care about me more than anybody else does, so I weight towards him.
2000 BC
Settler is 1 turn away from building a new city in a totally unsuggested spot. Great Wall is 15 turns away, but I'm a chopping as fast as I can.
Since I want to get the report posted, I'll wait until the next 50 for some pics. Hopefully we'll get some more espionage-related activities at that point. Right now I can see all Demographics.
