Battle of Tzintzuntzen (5) (Aztec, on Aztec Island II)
vCossack vs. rMusket, Cossack wins (2 of 3).
vCossack vs. rMusket 2/3, Cossack wins (3 of 4).
Good News
And Tzintzuntzen is now Russian.
We keep this city as a base of operations on Aztec Island II.
But we rename it to TenZgrad, a good, decent, Russian name.
The place has three resistors, so we hire a taxman and build a worker, since the harbor was not destroyed.
Before the battle we picked up 4 units from Aztec Isalnd I; they will arrive next turn.
Move Army and Cossacks into TenZgrad to quell the resistance in one turn.
Aztec Island II has two remaining Aztec cities.
Fortify a lot of slaves on Aztec Island I.
On the homeland, combine some slaves into stacks of 12 to rail hills in one turn.
Send all workers and slaves and new units to Akkad (first on the GoToCity List) and sort them out into groups.
Battle of Basra (10) (Arab)
1st Cossack Army (12/17) vs. rSpear, Army wins (4 of 5).
1st Cossack Army (8/17) vs. rSpear, Army wins (5 of 6).
Good News
And Basra is now Russian.
We raze it, gaining 6 slaves.
And end up behind enemy lines.
Build ByPass City 3SE of Pisae, where we can rail eastward without railing a mountain.
This leaves two settlers overseas, which is not enough.
Rail east from ByPass City and build Medina Mauler on an Ivory, using the Roman settler.
Battle of Tlacopan (3) (Aztec)
First Mace Army (13/13) vs. vPike, Army wins (6 of 7).
First Mace Army (9/13) vs. vPike, Army wins (7 of 8).

We keep this city.
And rename it to TalcPowder.
It has two resistors and three slaves.
Minor Skirmishes
First Sword Army vs. vCrusader (Aztec), Army wins (8 of 9).
Upgrade our cannons to artillery. Twenty one cannons in cities with barracks, cost of 1260. Worth it; arty has a range of 2, not 1.
Upgrade one treb for 75 gold.
Cumae vCossack -> settler, rush for 40 gold.
Nortongrad barracks -> settler, rush for 96 gold.
Forgot that Cossacks can blitz (attack more than once per turn)!
Move units and settlers near the Aztec capital onto a hill 2NE of Tenochitlins. Units aren't strong enough to attack but should be able to defend on a hill. Once built, the city will receive two galleons of reinforcements.
On the mainland, we have 46 slaves and 36 workers.
Create three stacks of slave hill railroaders. Had to augment some stacks due to bad directions.
Created six stacks of Russian railroaders.
In all, railed 10 hills this turn, with two completing this IBT.
(This was a long turn, including the preflight, about three hours realtime! The others should move much faster.)
Spent a lot of gold on rushing things. Hope it was worth it. We'll see.
