Pre-turn:
Why would we waste time mining wheat way outside of city borders when we don't even have a settler build to send that way and there are much better tasks to do like roading for example. 4 more slaves are mining hill near Lazapa.
What for??? That mine won't give us anything.
We have irrigated grassland near Tikal... We are in despotism, remember????
Rule #1 - Do not irrigate grass in despotism unless very special circumstances.
We don't have many workers and we really have to think how to utilize them better...
Okay.... Time to check AIs... I certainly see a clear way to push us into MAs right now, but that will also upgrade most of the AIs to MAs.
Well, I'd rather do it now while I have opportunity to get it all for the minimum money spent.
Incas are the only ones who have Currency... I can buy currency then trade it around for the rest of techs.
So, lets do it.... We buy currency from Incas for 499Gold and 9gpt.
Go to Shaka... Sold currency for CoL and 84Gold
Go to Lincoln. Sold currency for Philosophy and 3 gold
Go to Iro. Bought Monarchy in exchange for Currency, CoL and Philo + 15Gold
I am going back to Shaka and bought Construction for Monarchy.
Bam! We are in MAs and so every other AI except Aztecs.
With the price tag of only 9gpt and some 450 cash.
Yet, I still have undone business with Shaka to do. I cancel our MA against Aztecs.
Oops... that's not enough Go back to Shaka and politely asked to remove his ugly, fat bottom from our territory. Moving troops to attack last Aztec city next turn.
Ha Ha.... I forgot something - Barbarian Uprisings.... We will see some major activities in a turn or two for sure.
T1. 310BC And indeed - barbarians showed up... 16 horses near Calakmul. I think I will let them to suck the city.
Attack last standing Aztec city. Kill 2 defenders with no losses and Aztecs are left only in history books.
T2. 290BC. re-arranging workers. Moving troops and thinking what to do with Barbs. I will definitely let them to suck our city. We have only around 100Gold. It is much less painful and I don't have troops in any case to send for help... There are no roads in that part of the world.
IBT. 16 Barb horses sucked Camakmul
T3. 270BC Mostly worker actions
IBT. Zulu are taking care of barbarians for us.
T4. 250BC Worker actions. Copan settler->settler.
T5. 230BC. Worker actions and troop movements.
T6. 210BC same as above
T7. 190BC. same as above. Boot zulu off our territory. War declaration next turn.
T8. 170BC. Declare on Zulu... They have most of their army just outside of our borders... Dispersed most of it... Only couple of Zulu archers left. Moving to columns into zulus land. Incas have Feudalism. i was hoping they would come up with Republic first.. That was why i didn't revolt to monarchy.
IBT. Zulu Archer redlines our horse, we retreat. Another zulu archer attacks our sword and dies.
T9. 150BC. Capture Intombe. So far we lost only one horse. Zimbabve should fall next turn. After capturing Zimbabve split military column in two parts. One goes west another goes east to finish Zulus off. I mm-ed Chichen to produce 15spt. That is exactly one horse or one sword each 2 turns... leave it that way, dont change.
I will stop here to round our turn date.
Have nice warmongering!
