Turn 0: No available trades, nothing else to report.
IBT: Maya asks us to leave their territory, I do so.
Turn 1: Workers finish mining oasis, I move them both to the plains below Berlin. I send northern curragh south towards the Americans. I send warrior near Maya north. Send southern curragh north.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 2: 1 worker begins roading plains while the other worker begins irrigating the plains. We can lower science still keeping philosophy coming in 5 turns but we now gain 2 gpt.
IBT: Purple warrior comes into view. It is the Inca.
Turn 3: I contact the Inca and find that we are up writing, but they don't have anything we don't already have. Philosophy in 4 turns.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 4: Nothing new. Philosophy in 3 turns.
IBT: Maya asks us to leave their territory again, and I do so.
Turn 5: Worker finishes roading plains and helps other worker with irrigation to finish it the same turn. Worker moves to adjacent plains. Philosophy in 2 turns.
Tech update: Inca has nothing on us, we have writing on them
Maya has Mathematics and Polytheism on us
France has Mathematics
Rome has nothing on us, we have HBR on them
America has nothing on us, we have nothing on them
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 6: Worker begins roading plains, other worker moves to same square. Capital grows in 2. Philosophy comes in 1.
IBT: We get philosophy, I choose literature as our freebie and I begin on mapmaking.
Turn 7: I change capital to build the GL. Worker begins irrigating. Raised science to 60% to get mapmaking in 23 turns. We are not gaining any gpt. Trade France philosophy for mathematics and 54 gold. Traded Rome mathematics, philosophy, and 12 gold for mapmaking. We are now down only polytheism to the Mayans. I didn't trade literature to anyone. I'm going to wait until we are closer to the GL. Began researching construction in 42 turns.
IBT: Capital grows to size 8.
Turn 8. Had to lower science to 50% in order to raise luxury slider to 20% due to unhappiness in capital. Construction now comes in 49 turns. Lower science to 10% to gain 10 gpt. Doesn't affect how fast construction is researched (49 turns).
IBT: I see that the Inca start the Temple of Artemis, so they must have philosophy now.
Turn 9: I trade the Inca mathematics, 66 gold, and 1 gpt for philosophy. We now have at least literature over everyone else. We are now technologically advanced compared to when I picked up the game where we were only moderately advanced. Worker finished road and helps with irrigation, not finishing it this turn.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 10: Workers finish irrigation and head over to connect incense (no other squares can be worker on without chopping forests). Capital grows in 8 turns and finishes GL in 18 turns.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 11: Find another possible choke with curragh (might not be one, though). Workers move onto incense square.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 12: Turns out that the choke is really a choke, Inca can be blocked of with proper unit positioning (it's to far away for now, though). Two workers begin roading incense square.
IBT: Americans begin ToA (who cares?).
Turn 13: Nothing new.
IBT: Nothing new.
Turn 14: Still no one has literature.
IBT: Incan city of Cuzco finishes The Pyramids. French warrior moves next to our border.
Turn 15: Workers finish road and move to next incense square. GL in 13 and growth in 3.
The map hasn't really changed, so I'm not including a screenie (if you want to see one, just let me know).
Here is the
save.
Looks like we'd have to get Hanging Gardens.
