Pre-Turn
some MM to get Entremont growing at 20spt, swap some tiles
Greeks would give us chivalry flat already, but we want more
trade iron with Japan, we get gunpowder and chivalry for iron
we do have saltpeter, but it is not connected yet
IT Otto and France sign peace, good so we could take out that last city ourselves
1. I need for some more units to attack Sparta
IT France demands a lux and we are at war
Otto and Japan sign peace (there goes the theory about Bursa and iron)
2. trebs go well 5/6 and reveal 5 hoplites in Sparta
our med Inf do well with 4/5 kills, lost another GS to eliminate a king. heck why do they look like Elvis
We better make peace with Greece now so I can attack Ottoman soon and the Persian town, France might send over units as well
make peace and get chemistry for 22gpt as well
In a streak of luck, Ottomans do not have chemistry, but all our gold won't get us theology
IT lucky we made peace with Greece
French land units near Richborough
3. can trade now with Ottoman, of course no gpt, since we want to take them out soon
get theology for chemistry and 155g
7 In the east an elite MI defeats a lone Persian LB and we get a leader
do I smell a knight army?
9 attack Samaria, the army barely defeats 2 pikes
lose a MI, but take the town and raze it
found Tolosa to claim the salpeter in the SE
10 we can make peace with Persia and France, but cost for tech too expensive
SE looks messy, there was an Ottoman settler pair, which I defeated. next player, please take out that last Ottoman city, but make sure the armies are fully healed first
there are 2 settlers ready to claim any spots. we are really resource rich, we do have 4 salts within our territory
I did not trade it, though only France seems to have it, I rather we get to MT and wipe them all out with Cavs
there are a lot of Japanese untis in our territory going for Antalya, annoying
maybe next player eliminate Ottoman and then go after them, we still give them iron, won't hurt to stop that
. Alex will talk but he's not generous, and at this point, I think we can do something to him (military of ours from weak to average compared to them.) Alex usually has a stack of longbows with a hoplite defending. Destroy the hoplite and he'll lose the longbows (1 defense, even horsemen have little trouble destroying them.) Suggest attacking Pharsalos soon for wonder and it's a good spot to capture (Thermopylae is good too.)
