Looks like war prep for you, Wotan. Probably important to get the iron cutting crew out on boats during your set too.

War preparation!
Turn log
0 50AD Pre-flight
Upgrade the remaining Chariots to HMs. Rush two Spearmen and change a build to a Galley in preparation for Operation Iron Cutters. India is all but out of the game now. I guess they will soon be gone so I buy Construction from them for 25 gpt. Sumeria are up (at least) Engineering, Monteism and Feudalism) as are all but India. Why building mines everywhere??? We need a balance between mines and irrigation. Am changing a lot of them to irrigation. We are after all a Republic now. Lets use that to our advantage.
1 70AD
Change some builds. Kyoto has two forests cleared IBT, I did not check to see if this was wasted shield or not?
2 90AD
Continue to move units towards frontiers.
IBT: Sumerians build Copernicus!!! How far behind are we?
3 110AD
Nothing much.
IBT: Dutch builds Magellans.
4 130AD
Rather uneventful.
IBT: Egypt demand 24 gold. I give it to them.
5-9 150AD-230Ad
Nada
10 250AD
Echigo founded.
After action report:
Keep an eye on India, they are down to 2 cities now. They are willing to part with Monotheism for 46 gpt. We could take it now and pay for a few turns or wait for them to get to a single city.
Iron Cutters en route, 6 turns until they can land. Unfortunately there are no coastal tiles within reach of the iron outside of Sumerian culture so we will either have to move past or DoW before reaching Iron. 12 HMs in the south, 13 in the north. When we do DoW we need to understand the war will have to be short or the full wrath of the Sumerian army in the extreme north will reach our borders. I am not sure we will have enough strenght to fight our way to the iron... At least 50 Sumerian units have moved by Karachi and our Warrior there. 20+ of them Knights.

Preflight check: Buy Mono for 47gpt. Sell WM for Egypts TM and 6g. Buy Sumerias TM for WM and 11g.
Notice that Sumeria actually has 2 sources of Iron.
We still want to attack or do we play nice and wait to buy it? Maybe build a library or market? However, with all the marsh around, it will probably take them forever to connect it.
edit: actually, now that I think about it, I think this makes our war a lot easier. Just need to raze Erech and Kish, then bring up a settler and sign peace.

I'd say take it while we have the chance. We don't want another Goz8 situation.

IBT: Sumeria demands TM + 20g; Kyoto horse -> horse; Tokyo horse -> horse; Edo horse -> horse; kagoshima horse -> horse
Dutch are building Smiths
T6: 310AD I think we may need to take a stab at the Glib ladder to get back in this as the tech pace is brutal. Therefore, but Dutch TM for WM and 80g. Amsterdam is far, but reachable by galley.

French complete Bachs
T10: 350AD Greece now has a spare iron for sale.
Verify that there are no Knight S of Anshan with a vet horse
Move injured horseman into Shimonoseki for healing.
WW is starting to kick in. Buy Furs from Egypt for 14gpt and 107g. Still need a clown or 2.
We can buy iron from Greece for 22gpt and 7g.
I left the military around Erech and Asyut unmoved as Im not sure what KB wants to do with the 2 threatening Knights. I would attack them, but the risk is high.

Looks like a good start. I think I'll go with attacking the knights as well, I'd rather take 2 vs 3 than 1 vs 4. Got it.

Let's just make sure we have our settler(s) standing by. We don't want to get the area cleared just to see them reclaim the area once peace breaks out.

1 settler is in Shimo. another can be squeezed out of any nearby town (Tokyo, Matsuyama, etc).

re: army's: no, just big stacks of junk sweeping down from former india (LB, EW's, and other crap).
as for the muskets, we'll need 15 to 20 horses for each size 7+ city so keep building them like mad.

We may be fortunate in that any MI slow movers are going to be working their way back from the distant north, so we'll be dealing with a few less units than might otherwise be the case. It will still be a brutal fight.
Are we going the distance with the alliances? In other words if we can make peace in 10 and be assured of getting the iron, do we make peace or still stick out the 20 turns of any alliances?

i say we grab the iron and then sign peace. it'll kill our rep, but I'm not sure it's feasible for us to fight this war longer than necessary.
