3nd town built 1N 3 NW by the lake to bring fresh water to the south

argh – i hate it when the “emphasize production” is on and the governor still chooses the 2f 1c tile over the 1f 2s 1c tile !!!! and delays my settler
meet Russia in 1870, no Writing yet, only two towns
1790 meet Persia in another direction, no Writing either
i decide to try the slingshot to Republic, while i try to have someone else research MM for me
with IW i see that i settled on an iron hill... no upgrades then, which does not worry me much, but it kills any useful combo in the factory

570 3 civs keep their tied alliances to the end. make peace with 2 of them, as i already have 3 sources of WH. declare against Russia.
490 first lux and horses connected, change to horses due to relatively high losses with swords
430 2nd lux connected, solving any happiness issues
410 Feud in
with my 7th elite victory i spawn an MGL
see a strong spot for the FP town
230 Russian gone
210 build FP town and rush FP by the 2 wheat and the cow in old Russian lands... see great potential for that settlement
30ad Chivalry in
in the following turns i hit Egypt and France hard
170ad 3rd lux connected; not too important with 4 sources of WH
knights are very powerful for the little resistance the AIs come up with, but one has to be careful with the limited number available due to small production capacity
190 take the last French city, but must have a settler around. they don´t give WH, so i give them peace.
Persians have iron connected, but i have not yet seen Immortals
210 start war against Persia who have the GW – and they start building the Great Lib :shakehead:

taking city after city from the Persian, these hopeless folks start the Great Lib in a new town again and again

450ad start attack on Japan and take Kyoto with ToA with my first strike
510 many borders expand and i reach 54% land and 72% pop
520 Greece gone
attack Babylon for a few more % land
540 English gone, their resistance was practically nonexistant
550 Japan gone, prepare attack on Osmans
560 jump over limits with 67% land and 84% pop, progressing on all fronts
a fun game to play with knights. i had loads of victory wins with only 2 leaders. due to how weak the AIs were i am not sure, however, if more armies would have sped victory up much.
templar_x
(and again... and again...)
