Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that most of the gallics are fortified, becuase I wanted to leave the possibility for the next player to move them around if they chose. At least, for the ones that weren't nearly dead.

Hmm, it's about time to get our techs out of Abe. I for one doubt that he's gotten more then a single MA tech that he's not offering. We can consolodate our core & finish grabbing those spices(to the south), while building our forces back up(with an improvement or two thrown in the mix) for the next 5-10 turns. Then it's time to turn on someone else(hopefully the new tech leader
).

Switch Ludgunum from horseman to courthouse. With only 3 cities they must be max productive.
We get a gallic in one turn and another one in two turns. I hold peace with america and tech trading till than, we will not be able to build more gallics after we have feudalism.

1 - 360AD Entremont: gallic->gallic
elite gallic kills ami MI
2 - 370AD Alesia: gallic->courthouse
O.k. Time for peace with abe. I think we can get some higher techs from him, so i decide to buy the techs needed to extort chivalry
Buy monotheism from mongols for 330gp, 5 gpt and WM
Buy feudalism from germany for 340gp, 5 gpt and WM
Make peace with abe: Some gallics standing behind him, so he bites the bullet and signs this deal:
We get Peace
, Monarchy, Engineering, Chivalry, 81gp, 9 gpt, Baltimore and St.Louis for disbanding
Did i tell you i'am evil :devil2:
Baltimore and St. Louis are disbanded
Germany don't know the art of engineering, while nearly everyone else knows also Invention. I sell Engineering to Germany for WM and 347 gp
Min research at Theology
We could buy Invention, but it would cost us too much, i think this should be researched by our gallics
Entremont changed to knight
start revolution
IBT Abu wants our TM and 41gp. Well, i'am only waiting for a reason to declare on you and raze your misplaced cities at our door. He declares. A arab horseman captures some slaves. Well, we will get new!
And i already feared my turns would be boring peacefull
3 - Yoshi the first calls himself king
380AD Vet gallic kills arab horseman.
gallic kills arab spear and capures two slaves (settler)
IBT arab archer promotes a gallic
4 - 390AD
Battle for Mansura
Cat hits a spear
Gallic kills a spear
Gallic kills other spear, city is ours and razed
Gallic kills a spear in Aleppo and autorazes it
IBT the germans are building the hanging gardens
5 - 400AD Knight is victorious at Bakhura, autorazes it and recaptures our slaves
All close arab cities are gone, and a campain agaist his heartland would be not advisable at this time.
I think its time to push the aztecs back somewhat, so i will move some troops in position. I don't expect much more from Abu, and i think i try to get something for a peace, when he wants talk again.
6 - 410AD upgrade a horseman
IBT The people love their king, i order some stairs
7 - 420AD Entremont Knight->Knight
Abu is talking again. He gives us Invention for peace, we pay a token amount of 70gp.
Germany has Theology, he would sell it to us for invention, chivalry, 300gp and 17gpt. But i dont see a way to get the money back right now, and there is no tech to trade for eighter, so i leave it
IBT germany are building sistine
american knight sighted
8 - 430AD join a zulu slave to ludgulum
lumberjack near Ludgulum to get more land for food
Join our last native worker to Entremont
upgrade last horseman
IBT people happy, new lawn at the palace
Americans build Sistine (he made the deal with germany i don't wanted)
9 - 440AD Alesia: Courthouse->Knight
IBT Again someone was quicker than i. Monty demands Chivalry.

The Germans complete Sun Tzu
A Aztec sword impales himself on a knight
10 - 450AD Time to hit monty. Knight attacks spear in Tamuin, win and raze.
Two SoD enter Aztecs territory
The new warzone:
Final Notes:
I gained 6 techs, destroyed six (small) cities. Two Aztec cities should fall next turn. We should clear some aztec land from them, they don't have chivalry yet, but can build knight when they get it, so they should be hammered real hard now.
I think the empty space, where everyone wants settle is a great field for pointy stick research. Let them settle some cities, and then raze them, as they are quite puny.
Germany and the Mongols start now to rise. Maybe we should take a look in this direction.
On the other hand we hold the others in constant warfare/settling mode, which should slow'em down somewhat.
I DONT think we should ally the arabs against america. The arabs don't have iron, but when they take Atlanta, this could change.
We should keep the western part (exept the Aztecs) at its current size. In the IA it should be much easier to fight wars this far from home.
Ongoing deals:
America: 12 turns peace
Germany 12 turns 5 gpt
Mongols 12 turns 5 gpt
Arabia 17 turns peace

Expect dispatches by Saturday evening.
I agree that Mongolia will probably need to be our next target.

As I mentioned in my turn log, I think we can "confine" Monty to his little peninsula, especially if we get muskets by then. Push him back to the peninsula (most of the other towns are quite small), throw some muskets up on the mountains and blockade him in.
Granted, we may not want to give up the troops needed to put up this blockade (I would guess 2 muskets per square just to be safe, but we could probably do with just 1 at least until cavalry). This would make the land-settling mass a little easier to manage with one less civ to give the boot to.
Or, depending on how well things go, we could just kill Monty too:devil2:

After Action - Im run a block near the incense colony.
It may be time for peace with Monty. The nice open lands are no longer nice and open.
I think we need to rethink how we are approaching this. It may behoove us to run a block of an area once we destroy a city. Otherwise we are going to be reconquering everything five and six times.
It is already getting difficult to reinforce the front with all these cities in the way.

Warfare is the only way to keep the ai from re-settling. Its in front of our door, so we can strike there without the need of rails. Also those cities are quite weak. And its nice for a rewarding peace to have a couple of razed cities

I've been thinking we need to run several blockades, to keep the AI out of our play ground.

Do you have enough spare slaves to block key resettlement areas? A bit cheesey but effective. Keeps your colonies and free road access to your numerous fronts.
