All factories done. Wow, great.

You mean rifles, right? I don't think we have Replaceable Parts yet.

No I meant Infantry, when we get RP. I think we have already upgraded to RIfles. At least Snap's picture above suggests so.
 
@Stuck_As_A_Mac: Welcome back. You can take it now if you want to. Earp maynot be able to play tonight. So you are free to take it. Just post a got it.
 
0 - 1295 AD
I begin researching medicine
We have three 50+ spt cities and two 40+ spt cities. Sipahi cost 100 shields, riflemen cost 80 shields, and cannon cost 40 shields. The three 50+ spt cities should produce Sipahi and the other two cities should produce riflemen and cannon to minimize shield waste.

1 - 1300 AD
We have two Sipahi redline, but both defeat muskets and we raze the gem city of Kiohero.
We defeat two spears and raze Goigouen.

2 - 1305 AD
We build a colony on the gems. I turn off the luxury slider.

3 - 1310 AD
We raze Ganogeh.
We raze the four! wheat city of Gandasetaigon. I think they built this city on the ashes on Tenochtitlan. They should have called it Mexico City.

4 - 1315 AD
We raze Caughnawaga.
Increase lux slider.

5 - 1320 AD
We raze Niagra Falls
We raze Cattaraugus
We raze Tonawanda

6 - 1325 AD
We raze Oil Springs
We raze Allegheny

7 - 1330 AD
We raze Grand River
We raze St. Regis
We raze Tyendenaga

8 - 1335 AD
We raze Chalco

9 - 1340 AD
We raze Atzcapotzalco.

10 - 1345 AD
We raze Tamuin
Medicine due next turn. Reduce science.

11 - 1350 AD
Finish Medicine and begin Sanitation. I think we need to build hospitals ASAP and max out the size of our cities. Filling out our cities will give us more gpt and allow us to research Electricity and Scientific Method quicker.
We raze Akwesasne.

I played one extra turn to even out the turn number.

Persia and Babylon have Electricity. We are the only ones with Medicine. Both of them will trade us Electricity for Medicine straight up. I'll leave that decision to the next ruler.

I think we should go ahead and finish off the Iroquois. They only have four cities left. We have 10 Sipahi healing in Istanbul. When they are back to full strength, we can take the last four cities in 3 or 4 turns. We have 69 Iroquois slaves. If we wipe out the Iroquios, after we build hospitals, we can fill out our populations with these slaves and not have to worry about WW due to foreign citizens.

Our peace treaty with Babylon and our ROP with the Zulu both end in three turns. I think we may want to take them out soon so I wouldn't sign any more deals with them. I think eliminating some of these crippled civs will allow us to research faster.

Edrine is losing 1 fpt to be more than 50 spt. When the food box is getting low, you can refill it in two turns and build a riflemen while the city is producing 40 spt.

Great Job Earp. I agree we need to start wiping out as many civs as we can, if only to keep them from breeding.

I second that.

IMO, we should trade medicine to get Electrcity. Unless we do that we will not know whether they have SM. And we need SM fast so that we can use that leader.

@Stuck, @Tsuke: Can you take it tonight? I can play tonight, but I would rather one of play the turns since you have not played in a while.
 
I think that's a good plan SAAM. We might as well get as much use from our Sipahi as we can before Infantry become ubiquitous.
 
Sounds good to me. Remember to trade for electricity and try to sell medicine before the AI sells it. I do not think any two for ones are available. We are saving the leader for ToE.


Edit:
Another thought. We have enough gold to where you could try to steal Electricity from Babylon. I would wait a couple of turns because Hammi is paying us a large amount of gpt and we don't want him to cancel the deal. It would help our WW if he declares on us instead of us declaring on him.

I did that. Im also starting the MA in Iznik. No one has Sci Meth.

By MA do you mean Military Academy, and do you want to do this for a pre-build? I do not think we need to do this. We have a leader remember!

Or am I missing something completely?
 
The military academy is pretty useless in a 5CC because we can only have one army at a time. It will only take about 8 turns to build so I do not think it could be used as a pre-build for anything.
 
If the Iroquois will give 216 gpt for peace, I would take it. We can finish them off quickly and easily in 20 turns after they give us 4,320 in gold. Hiawatha was not giving me any gpt for peace during my turns.

Should we change the MA production to Smith's? We will not save lots of gold because we only have 5 cities, but we will save some. I think it would be better to switch to Smith's than switch to a Sipahi if we will lose shields.
