What is our overall strategy knowing what we know now? Dom/Conq/Space are the 3 likelys, and how do we handle The Leader as a neighbor?
I think the Leader is playing a typically strong game, and dont doubt that cats/maces would be an attack force they would bring to bear on us if we are both isolated. They have half of the mace requirements already with Civ Svc. I think maces are the civ 4 equivalent of Civ 3 cavalry in some ways.
What do we need to do? IMO, a couple things, 1) find some new friends to use our new alphabet with; 2) prep for war at the end of our peace deal; 3) figure out what to do specialist-wise, we are liz so we should use our traits; 4) decide on what tech path we want to take to achieve a solid footing at 1 AD.
With a Great Merchant, would using him in Leader territory and using the gold for mass upgrades of axemen to maces be a viable idea? What are the costs of upgrading 10 of them?
