My last update was short, this one is little longer, writing as I play.
turn 0
--------
Ask 100 g. from Alex, he refuses (make sure you post if you ever beg so we can keep track of this).
Also he “has a lot in his hands now”. Only annoyed toward Shaka.
Japan is pleased with us but doesn’t want to open borders, not that we want to anyway.
Our seafood is getting pillaged and some of our cities lack health so I give Japan rice for crabs.
Wang is totally useless to us at this point.
And of course Shaka wants peace but that’s one thing we can’t give him right now.
His power graph is still big but we’re getting there and frankly most of his power graph comes from infantry which sits in his cities.
I lowered science to 30% and increased culture to 10%, which allowed me to do a round of whipping in Philadelphia, Hyangsan, and of course Washington, which also whips that calvary (I hope you aren’t forgetting that it can be whipped as much as drafted).
Hiathabu is building a settler.... but I’m not really sure why. Can we gift settler to Wang?
Corporation due in 3 with science at 30%, culture at 10% and we have 116gold (+35 per turn).
turn 1
--------
Ho-kay,
SoL built somewhere.
Shaka sends calvary and picks up our grenadier, another calvary picks up another grenadiers, and infantry finishes of our calvary.
I pick up his calvary and infantry with a cannon and a grenadier. Move the whole stack toward Khangela. Other stack heals Uppsala.
Draft units in Heliopolis, Teoihuancan, and Washington. Uppsala whips cannon.
I’m not sure what to do with GE. It can speed up railroad +1322 beakers. Or use it for Wall Street, this is better. I am not calculating how many banks we still need, will see in two turns.
turn 2
--------
Shaka sends his Calvary and picks up our worker, which was the plan (sorry buddy), I pick up calvary with our rifle. Stack one step closer to Khangela.
Whip calvary in Washington, draft rifle in Washington. Draft in Haithbabu.
turn 3
--------
Japan builds Broadway, give him Wheat for Hit Musicals (lol). This helps us a little but WW is still terrible. Lots of units burned IBT and while capturing Khangela, but we got it. I keep it but we’ll see what happens next turn… lot’s of units injured from previous turn.
Washington whips rifle.
We have 3/6 banks for W. Street, two cities are building two already, last one will be whipped in Washington in time.
turn 4
-------
Shaka burns so many of our units in Khangela, but we keep it. WW trough the roof (+18 in Thebes). I’m taking time to build some very cheap colosseums.
Shaka tries to build new city but we can’t allow that.
I upgraded our two CR2 Trebs to cannons.
Ok let’s give these people some break no drafting this turn.
Our research is really slow but that’s only due to WW.
I had picked up his 3 infantry and cannon he attacked us with but lost grenadier and calvary at >80% chance to win DAMN!! GRRRR
turn 5
--------
Again, we win some, we loose some for the battle of Khangela (but mostly lose).
Thebes gets colosseum, oh the joy (don’t you hate that cheering sound when you build coloseeum I know I do). Hmmm…what to build now. Oh well Calvary it is….
Japan gets Kremlin.
Fresh stack of units arrives in Khangala. Heal.
Washington drafts another rifle.
turn 6
--------
Biggest wave yet of Shaka’s Calvary attacks, we win some loose some, most of them retreat …..
I’m sending lost of units from Khangela to capture Tonsbers, I hope I didn’t made a mistake by doing this…
turn 7
--------
Where does he get so much calvary from?? Its like stack of 10 every turn
He attacks with infantry..
I sacrifice some cannons to finish of his stack in front of Khangala, even muskets.
As I finish his last unit, quick look at uMgungundlovu shows only two units inside.
I went for Tonsberg since its not on a hill and is further away from capital.
I ask Shaka to give us some techs, but he don’t want to. Oh well…
turn 8
---------
Only one attack now from Shaka. His power graph is still huge, but I think it’s because of machine guns and some infantry not because of number of units.
I’m trying to build some colosseums, temples, and universities…
Closing in on Tonsberg.
He gets new small stack in nMgungungugugugug.
turn 9
--------
New attack on Khangala, but we live. Thx do drafting and whipping we always have a fresh stack of obsolete units as well
Get rid of Tonsberg’s cultural defenses and capture it… somehow.. that machine gun is such a useless unit………………………………….
Also out last CR3 Maceman died after attacking calvary @ 95% to win. Awsome..
But coolest thing is that we’r reach again, HAHA! Bring that slider up baby so now we get infantry in 500 years instead of 800.
Wall Street is done in Heliopolis. That should give us some ..oh 20 gpt extra or so.
turn 10
---------
Shaka doesn’t attack this turn, maybe a good sign.
I actually didn’t move units in this turn at all. More fun for you Mutineer.
I hope that this was as good for you as it was good for me lol.
Have fun.
Actually I’m more worried about Alex’s intentions right now.
If we get peace now, we can probably get A. Line in 10-15 turns, which would make drafting powerfull. On the other hand 10 turns is enough for Shaka to reinforce completely … Frankly I’d try going for peace now, but would like to get at least one more city if possible before doing so. Also lot depends on what Alex want’s do to. If he want’s to declare on Shaka, then it’s better to get peace now and get A. Line, imo. Also note that i didn't build Jails as it would take forever and WW is over once we get peace.
Very hard game but so much fun (no seriously).
and your city is still 
!!!
