Army, army, army, army, army! Woohoo! [dance]
With an army, it will be a lot easier to take it to them... though waiting for cavs is mighty tempting -- we are very close.

Pre-flight 1305 AD - AAAAAAHHH! We have four cities!!! I immediately abandon that blot to the East.
Militarily were not in great shape. 12 knights, 9 muskets, 6 cannon. We can set up two sets of knights and work our way down each side of the peninsula. We have a knight guarding our incense colony. Wake up a musket from Lugdunum and send him east.
Wake up four healthy knight in the ruins of the city I just abandoned and send them towards Hovd. We cant attack yet. Germany doesnt have iron or horses.
Arabia is in the Industrial Age. The rest of the world isnt significantly ahead of us.
Why economics? Were not going to get Smiths. This tech does virtually nothing for us. There are some optional techs well want like Mil tradition, but we should be going to required techs.
IBT Retreat from a German LB. Hannibal wants to talk. Gems for furs straight up. I dont think so.
Lugdunum: Cannon=>cannon
1. 1310 AD Lose a knight sacking Hovd. Our map is worthless. Plan on saving money to steal Mil Tradition. I dont feel like giving Abu all that money.
IBT Watch Abu kill a barb camp for 25G.
Entremont: knight=> knight
2. 1315 AD Healing.
IBT Carthage may be setting up for a sneak attack.
3. 1320 AD Setting up for Bonn.
IBT - Economics completes. Start Astronomy.
Alesia: Knight=> knight
4. 1325 AD Kill three wandering LB, lose a knight.
IBT The AI is filling in as fast as we can sack cities. Two more cities are founded.
Entremont: knight=> knight
Lugdunum: cannon=> cannon
5. 1330 AD - Kill two more wandering LB. Cologne is sacked at the cost of a knight.
IBT Carthage a city and AI takes our spice colony. Monty wants to trade Music theory for Metallurgy. Hit the road!
Alesia riots for lack of spices.
6. 1335 AD Lose a knight killing two more LB.
IBT German LB is dropped off by Entremont.
7. 1340 AD - Kill a wandering German spear. Oh great. The Arab city by our incense expanded also. So we lost two luxes. No wonder the people of Alesia are ticked off. Move a knight to get the LB by Entremont.
IBT Lose a knight on a mountain outside Hannover. The LB pillaged a tile outside Entremont.
Entremont: knight=>knight
8. 1345 AD Knight dispatches pillaging LB.
@ Hannover Retreat a knight attacking the defending spear.
@ Bonn Kill the defending pike, but lose to a spear.
Set up for Munich.
Abe is now in his Industrial Age duds.
IBT Major barb uprising. Looks like a Zulu sneak attack is coming on.
Alesia: knight=>knight
9. 1350 AD Bonn is sacked. Munich is sacked.
IBT Zulu run away. Arab cavs make short work of the stack of barb horses.
10. 1355 AD Kill a German LB. Normally I wouldnt steal on the last turn, but Ive been waiting for this one all turn. Cable our embassy in Mecca and instruct them to execute a safe steal. Cross my fingers say a prayer to the RNG god, and .
Of course we select Military Tradition.
After Action: There is a force headed towards Hannover. Getting reinforcements to Germany will starting getting difficult, however, there are only seven cities and our knights should be able to take the remainder with intervals for healing.
I think our next project is to save our cash to generate a full dogpile on Arabia. The Arabs are going to run away with this very soon. We should do that after Germany is gone.

Flight Check: Wow, things sure look umm
different. Where to start
. Military check: 9 muskets, 10 knights, 8 cannons & an army. Ouch!
Were only at war with Germany, and have 0 active deals with anyone.
All our troops need healed, we are down the rest of the techs in the Age, and theres no more neutral territory.
I tend to agree with bugs though, were going to have to get Abu in check soon or we wont have a shot of bringing him down later. The biggest problem with that is theres like 20+ Arab Cavs in/to the east of us.
MM Entremont to prevent starvation, still get Cav in 2.
Switch Alesia from Cav to temple, weve got the lux at 10% and it still needs a clown, weve got to change that.
Way to go on the steal bugs! Not only did you get us a great tech, but one Abu had a monopoly on.
Sell it to America for Astronomy, 17g, & 5gpt. Abe needs a couple turns of building Cavs before we drag his 5 city empire into a war with the Arabs.
Germany doesnt have physics, which means we wont get anything from him so might as well just take him out.
In that case I trade Carthage our furs & MT for Physics, Gems, & 48g.
Switch Alesia back to Cav.
IT- Arabia declares war on Germany.
We have a Kn killed and another retreats to longbows.
T1-(1360) Kill off a longbow.
During my turn I spot this
(railroads)
Abu has Steam Power, that means railroads which is going to make him really tough to take down a notch.
IT Entremont: Cav>Cav
Lugdunum: Cav>Cannon
T2-(1365) Form a Cav army & send it east, were seriously hurting for troops over there. Even fighting spears & longbows.
IT Aztecs & Americans sign peace treaty.
Alesia: Cav>Cav
T3-(1370) Nada.
IT Arabic city of Miami completes Magellans.
T4-(1375) Kill off a couple Lbs, might be able to march on a city in a couple turns.
T5-(1380) Couple more bite the dust.
IT Entremont: Cav>cav
Lugdunem: Cannon>musket
Leipzig(german) completes Shakespeares.
T6-(138505) Army wins a battle, switch Entremont to Hero Epic.
Im saving up cash for either another steal or most likely to bribe the world against Abu.
IT Alesia: cav>cav
T7-(1390) Raze Nuremburg. At this point Im trying to beat the Arabs to razing the cities so they dont take them. It isnt easy with 2 Cavs, 2 Knights & a musket.
T8-(1395) Raze Heidleburg.
IT Leptis Magna(Arab) completes Newtons.
T9-(1400) Lose a Knight attacking a Lb. Nice.
IT Nada
T10-(1405) Kill off about 4 more Lbs.
Ive nearly completed a road stretching down to Germany that doesnt pass through anyones land. Ive also got workers strung along the road so no one can use it & block us, and heading into German land so the Arabs cant get through.
Good luck!

Way to get that army going.
Yeah, we're definitely not major players in the world powers any more, but we can definitely still make waves. And that cav army should be a tidal wave against Germany's spears & longbows.

Keep Abu from getting any German cities, especially any wonder cities. I still can't believe that Otto built Shakespeare's during a war he is severely losing.
That's the AI... in AG9 Greece had some 3 cities and built wonders almost all the time... easy to kill them.
Nice job, Gengis.
I think Bede you could try and bribe the world against Abu, if we have the money. He is way too powerful. Dunno how possible that is, though...
