Beorn-eL-Feared
Idiot riding pedals
A lot of anarchy and little action until turn 8, so I'll make a big picture out of it all:
Zimbabwe and Constatntinople have been razed. Slaves are on their ways back. I sent a spear for the southern slaves, in case a zulu impi would like a byzantine steak.
Our frontline was map-wide so I settled Narrow Front, where most attacks should be either received or spotted. I outlined 2 more towns that would make this frontline a much easier one to hold. The narrower and cleaner-cut the frontline, the easier time we have on defense.
A second frontline, for future considerations, has also been outlined. We might not even get there, but you never know. I also threw a dotmap for the south, take it or leave it.
Our 2 armies need to heal and then they could go express their anger at China and Inca. The chinese have probably been warring their share but we'll get to see more of them, and riders are a pain. Pillage, raze a few while passing, pillage more ...
We also have 2 strike forces, which should be enough, if fueled with new troops properly, to take out the persians and the zulus. They will not be good enough for China or Greece before our armies have passed for a round of 'destructive behavior group therapy'.
By that time we'll have MDI's.
We are doing 4 turns research on philosophy, so I thought the need for a library or 2 was minimal. More towns, more workers (more, more workers !!!! we need the core at 100% productivity and roads to the front and to everywhere our stacks go !
) will benefit us more than 80 shields libraries. Same goes for markets, until we have 3-4 more luxes.
