Bede01- Romans 360AD
Preturn Not much to do but scan around. I see 4 active settlers and 2 in queue. The settler with a spear by the bananas will have a tough time Im thinking.
IT The galley that dropped off the banana settler beats 2 barbs but loses on the 3rd. America completes Knights Templar. We are a republic.
[1] 370AD Since I think I will be hard pressed getting the current 3 settlers placed Im switching 2 of the settler builds to worker in Hispalis and rax in Byzantium. We have 21 workers and maybe 7-8 slaves. I think we need nearly double that. We are at 30% lux for 4 different cities including Hispalis building a worker and Antium on a settler. Im going to tax man the other two after these builds to drop our lux tax to 20% saving 12gpt. Well see after the builds. Construction is now due in 10 @-14gpt. Whoa, almost forgot, Ive got business with Ab to fix all this. Theres 10 minutes Ill never get back. Lets go pay a visit and see if he can do something to improve the economy! I was hoping he would declare when I told him to remove his galley. No dice so I declare and move in. I attack with the E AC and win. Another AC retreats and another E AC wins. Still a spear and archer left in there. Gotta be careful. Wanna fish there. The banana settler spear attacks and takes out a warrior.
IT A couple of workers complete.
[2] 380AD The GA begins.
arty: The result is a 27gpt boost and construction in 7. Kill another barb where are galley landed. One more and we get gold and perhaps safety for a while. Begin working on the barb stack in the jungle and go elite. Looks like Bugs had been working on them already because I heal the others. Rome and Cumae swap to markets. Bugsys bombers is on a mission to meet Cleo.
IT Antium Settler > Market. Jerusalem Harbor > Temple for whale.
[3] 390AD Constuction spending goes up a notch to get it in 4. Abe wants around 1000g and 4 turns is worth 400g. Kill another 2 barbs. Find a whale for the banana settler.
IT Egypt floats by. Mecca Temple Market. Antium, Neapolis and Hispalis do a worker > worker. Antium will go to market next turn as it grows with worker build. Cancel that I just realized a lot of the temple builds were prebuilds. I forgot because of the unhappiness we have everywhere. A few other builds icluding Antium go to markets. Missed Mecca though. Its due in 9. Cleo is on F4 now. Construction is cheaper by trading. To whom though. I think to Abe so hopefully Cleo will declare when I tell her to get out. We get it for 4gpt and 193g (273g) vs. 300g over 3 turns and we have it now. Im putting a mine on the plains in Pisae because it has 2 floodplains. Take 2 leader shots in Arabia. Wins, but no dice. Kill 3 more barb horses. Found Londinium near bananas set to another spear.
IT Viro Rax > Spear. Kufah Galley > Galley. Selucia Warrior > Temple for fish. Aurel Worker > Galley
[4] 410AD Lost a turn somewhere. Kill 4 barb horsies. Working land. Egypt is sailing in the sea so no blockade is possible.
IT Neapolis Worker >Temple
[5] 420AD 2 more leader shots to no avail. 5 more barbs gone.
IT Ceasaria Galley > Galley. Nico and Taren > Rax>Spear.
[6] 430AD Kill 5 more horses. 11 left and we can move up. Found Eburacum nested next to the volcanoes in the south.
IT Egypt founds on the tundra south of us. Good luck with that site. Rome Market > Legion 4 now. Im going to buy lit right now. Viro Spear > Market. Hispalis Wkr > Wkr. Palmyra Spear > Temple 4 spice. Theres still a spot the AI could settle up there. HBR is in and we are in a new age. Egypt is tied with us believe it or not. I need an embassy. America is probably taking over. Feudal selected.
[7] 440AD Thebes is building a market and has iron and horses. Also 5 luxes. Washington is building a uni, has iron, horses and saltpeter. It has 4 luxes and the wo are not at war. Im really kind of upset with myself for not sending the western galley to try a crossing again. If they hax 5 luxes over there we can meet more AI. Kill 5 more horses. It may be clear next turn. Another leader fish comes up dry. I hate buying from Abe now but I really want some libraries. 7gpt and 69g gets lit and Rome swaps.
IT CeasarAug Temple > Galley. Abe is building Copernicus. Shoot.
[8] 450AD Aurretium founded in the jungle. I feel safer up there now, barbs are dead and I move forward towards the new lands. Leader fishing hole is still dry.
Im stopping here because I have a lot of game left in AG5 where it is a modern age war. Long turns. There is a galley next to Hippo now that you can grab the settler and spear with. I want to apologize for trading with Abe instead Cleo. I was thinking of getting her into a war so we could leader fish some more but she is so behind Abe that I dare not.

450AD SAVE
Can we name our naval units too? Maybe we could give one of our yachts a nice elvish name in your honor... 
(lower level player here...not used to research in Anarchy...) I wish I had employed some more beakerheads in those high food cities...once we get markets and libraries in those 3 on the river, they are going to generate some nice science for us... oh - somebody asked why a temple in Khurasan... agree w/ you - flip risk.
