Preflight: starve northern cities need to keep them at 5 pop to get WLTK days. Hmmm, Currency would not be my choice, but not disastrous. Leave it there. Get RoP with Inca to reinforce western town and future incense town. He gives us 19 gold for it.
Core cities still lack Slave Markets. Nara is building an aqueduct.
Well soon have ports, which do the same thing cheaper, with 50% tax and culture. Juniors building an aqueduct in 141 turns! What are we, the AI? Switch to forge in 14, starving. Switch New Osaka to Water Mill this would make a good dedicated military town, as it can only grow to 4, but can make nice shields. In general, it works better to get production boosters and granaries built before the sci buildings even if sacrificing some early growth for the town but several builds are too far along to waste the shields.
Our forests/mountains lack mines throughout the kingdom, and were wasting worker turns cleaning pollution on volcanos why? Send worker crews on their way, two native workers to merge in Kyoto.
IBT: Incas start GL.
210AD: not much happenin. Send a couple champs and the spear in Tenoch (why is the settler still here?) up to deal with barbs, wed rather avoid an uprising, I think.
220AD: zzzz. Currency in one, GL in 2.
230AD: Larry CH->forge, Bob CH->forge, Yoko Academy->Shrine (preparing for Slave Market), Currency->Monasticism (in 4), Inca is probably researching IW), Inca be gone has grown enough, switch to Slave Market in 2 (temporarily starving to work mountains), Sigh, the king remains unloved in the north, despite his generous provision of luxuries to the people.
240AD: GL: completes. Starve a little to get Toll House in 1. Same in fukushima to get in two. Need to get revenues up.
250AD: Tokyo Academy-> Spear barbs killed all our northern units flawlessly, whatever!
Will need to let them pillage. Inca be gone: Slave Market->shrine (end starving). Rush court in malinalco to prepare for pillaging. This was really sloppy play should have made sure to get barbs cleaned out up there instead of letting them fester.
IBT: barbs pillage roads.
260AD: Rush some courts to prepare for pillage, empty cities.
270AD: Various builds come in basic plan is to get all production boosters (except worker housing, which is obsolete soon) and Bazaars in cities (Bazaars boost tax and lux both), then get sci buildings. Weve got enough sci to crank along well right now. Monasticism->Seafaring in 2 (allows ports). Found city taking Inca incense, Shangri La in 7 in Kyoto (this will help go a long way to WLTK in northern cities. Found Izumi (coastal, grabs sheep and iron mountains) north of Yokohama.
280AD: trade Inca currency for a worker and some gold. Tokyo can now man two turn vet spears. Need to get our empire defended.
290AD: more pillaging several champs headed north, spears being built.
300AD: Seafaring->Iron Working. We can now build ports after coastal cities get production up, build ports and major ports to grow over 7.
Would be a good time to start mining some mountains in the mid-north to enhance MM opportunities. Some cities are starved to enhance shields. When they get near shrinking, they can then grow for a few turns, then return to high shields until they get the basics built (CH, if necessary, Slave Market, if under half corrupt, forge, shrine, granary if lacking food bonus), can also use this to help get ports finished.
This is important: when Shangri La comes in, it should be possible to get a lot of WLTK days by running 10% lux. This may require keeping these cities at 5 pop they will eventually be very productive (lots of corruption reduction in RandR, so its a good idea to get the basics built in these cities now using WLTK)
Once Tokyo gets its Port and Major Port, pls build Bazaar to keep it happy and make bucks. We also have cheap temples and basilicas. Same goes for other coastal cities. Lets shoot for Voyage of Discovery in Kyoto we need it to make contact.
