Don't change a thing.
IBT

Incans have about 6 or 7 galleys around our American holdings.
Agedincum deposes.
[3] 1365AD

Cataractonium: Our armies do their work and its ours.
Eboracum: Army takes out musket, send elites in leaderfishing against spears. After about 6 wins, Eboracum is ours. No leader. JS Bachs is there.
Strike that, an army with full moves is sent back and Agedincum is ours again. We own the Celtic mainland.
Now we'll see if the Mongol stronghold holds out. We have 5 cavs and the army in it. All with damage. Troops are crossing the sea.
IBT

Shanghai, Tsingtao, Shantung, Beijing switch to factory.
We add a couple of cavs to empty city in America where Incans landed. They landed 2 horses and an Ancient Cav.
IBT
Big surprise. The Incans declare war. Our cavs defend against their landing party. Incan galleys float around America but don't land anymore troops.
Factory in Beijing brings it to 46spt.
Oh, and the Celts continue on Shakespeare.
[5] 1375AD

IBT

Tabriz falls. Mongols are down to Ulaanbaatar.
New Chinan is founded in Celtic heartland.
Rush temple in Novgorod
Starting to move navy toward America's so we can attack Incans.
IBT
Pirates take out another galleon. Aaargh. We need a better navy. Curses ye scurvy scum!
Incans continue their boat show off the American coast. I've emptied a city or two to see if they'll land anything so I can entertain myself.
[8] 1390AD
Teayo falls. I hope the Koreans do their work, as they are blocking our path to Cirta.
We rush a temple and some frigates.
Just curious where the Vikings are. Send Aztecs Music Theory for WM and 20 gold. Well there we go, pretty much where we expected them. South of the Aztecs, north of the Incans and Japan. On two islands, at least.
IBT
The Korean take Cirta. The pirates attacking us, well they just moved into Sariwon - they are Korean! Backstabbers.
Richborough ends its resistance.

The Vikings are back in the stone age. Because we are nice, I give them Monarchy for 3 gold and their WM.
IBT
Nothing except for the Incan boat patrol.
The Celts may have actually stopped building Shakespeares!
[10] 1400AD
Moving troops.
Our percentages: 45% area, 54% pop
Need to continue to move troops from Mongolia to America for deployment to Incan lands. Have 1 galleon and frigate in Novgorad. There is a settler there, plus a few troops. More can be moved across from Mongolia and America.
One galleon with a cav army is on its way to Lapurdum to remove the Celts. Take the city and merge with Incan deployment.
Nationalism is due in 6 at 120gpt. I've been using gold for temple rushes or other rushes as needed. Really, there is no hurry unless Korea get ornery. I've pretty much been producing workers in America after the temple builds.
