No
this time. Ya' can't drive a railroad spike with a tack hammer
Diplomatic situation:
Maya allied with Japan against us. We have no alliances against Maya.
We are at peace with the Hittites!!
We are allied with Sumeria against Japan and Arabia 11 turns to go, so no peace with them in this set.
Korea and Egypt are allied against us. We have no allies against them ATM.
We are at peace with Mongols, England and France.
We have 64 units, 28 of them workers, so only 36 effectives to put in the field, that includes 4 galleons, 9 legions, 9 spearman, 2 muskets and 6 cavalry and 8 mostly useless.
So first order of business is open peace negotiations with Maya, Egypt and Korea (did I mention that war weariness is killing us throughout our cities) Shut off scinece and lux so that I have some gpt to bargain with.
The Maya won't deign to talk.
Korea will pay us 46g +1gpt for peace. Table the offer for now.
The Egyptians won't talk.
Accept Korea's generous offer. He is still in the Middle Ages.
Peace with Korea is worth two happy citizens in every city and war weariness goes to less than 35%.
Time to look for some deals with our peaceful neighbors.
The only possible trading partner is England: so ship her wine for 5gpt, spices for 2gpt, saltpeter for 103g+15gpt, and iron for 29gpt, so she can keep up the good fight against the Japanese and the Arabs.
With SciMeth due in 5 @-15gpt switch Pompeii to FP to accumulate shields for ToE.
Fire all the clowns and taxmen and put the citizens back to work except in the rioting cities who keep their taxmen.
Egypt bombards our coast again and sails a frigate into the neighborhood of our galleons at Lutetia
Short rush a university at Ravenna which completes its bank.
1-1000
Gang workers for greater effienciency and concentrate on high output terrain.
Switch builds in Hittite towns to workers, We need more to get the hills and mountains mined and railroaded and the high food tiles irrigated.
The Arabs have a galleon parked off our west coast. Wonder what he's going to drop off.
Maya and Egypt still won't talk.
Korea and Japan take on the Mongols.
France and Japan take on the Hittites.
Japanese fleet leaves our coastline, looking for easier(?) targets, I guess.
Two towns riot. the impact of the peace treaty with Korea was not as lasting as I had thought.
France allies with Egypt against us.
2-1010
Keep deveoping infrastructure and terrain
Egyptians start Universal Suffrage.
England loses its harbor and our income tanks.
3-1020
Sell England electricity and get most of the income back 234+65gpt. Take Fascism as well.
Move troops to south to cover French galleon.
4-1030
Arabs invade with a single rifelman. Troops that went south, return north and kill him.
Arabs drop off troops at Pisae
5-1040
It costs a cavalryman and two legions, but the Arab invasion is over, for now.
Egypt will talk...We get Espionage, 379g and her maps for Electricity and our maps. The peace treaty does nothing for the happiness of our people,
The French drop off a longbow at Pisae
Arabs send another rifleman in. This time towards Cheju
We learn SciMeth and shut off research. Start ToE in Pompeii.
6-1060
Wipe out french longbow.
Bombard Arab rifle, wounding it, then lose a cav promoting it.
Arabs attack Hispalis with a cav, but lose it.. Wounded rifle retreats.
Sumeria and England sign an MPP.
7-1070
Get Peace and 10g from the Maya
Japanese and Arabs will now talk to us.
The French still won't talk.
Korea and France join in an embargo against us.
8-1080
Not much to report.
Hittites and Egypt sign a Peace Treaty.
Arabs capture a bunch of workers
9-1090
Lose a cav finishing off the odffending Arab cav following bommbardment to crippled
Recapture workers and cover with rifles and cannon
War weariness continues to rise.
Mongols declare on Sumeria.
Arab rifles appear in NE again.
Japanese destroy the Hittites.
England declares on the Mongols.
War weariness hits intolerable levels and riots break out in Hieraconopolis, Hispalis, Ugarit and Pisae.
10-1100
Peace is at hand. Alliances with Sumeria cancelled. We can get A Peace Treaty 389g+250gpt from Toku for SciMeth. As ToE is due in 7 in Pompeii, see little risk there. so sign.
Immediately open an embassy in Kyoto: it is only capable of 21 spt and lacks a factory.
Sign a peace deal with Arabia and get another 2250g for SciMeth. (Abu has over 5200g in his treasury).
Sign a straight up Peace Treaty with Joan.
Trade maps around with everybody else for spare change.
Sign a peace deal with Joan.
The wars are over, for us, for now. The rest of the world is embroiled in fighting. there is a good old-fashioned donnybrook going on on the other continent.
I took the cash and rushed improvements where I could. Rome is building UnivSuff as a pre-build for Hoover's with ToE due in 7 at Pompeii.
Research is set at Sanitation at 80%. There is still some residual unhappiness so lux is at 20% with a couple of clowns or taxmen in some places. But our largest cities are content and secure.
The next round should see us building military for a takedown of the Koreans in the set after. Unfortunately I sent the galleons to the south when I thought the war with Japan had some time to go, but they can be brought back to the north in time to freight troops across to Korea.
We have 40 workers and that is still not enough. There is a great deal of improvement to be done in the mountains and on the hills and a certain amoutn of terrain trimming to do as rails come on line.
I would have liked to kick the Arabs off the island but it just wasn't in the cards. They had a Protection Pact with the Mngols and we didn't need another opponent, thoughthe Mongols are poor and somewhat backward, it just wasn't worth the added unhappiness.
I think our best shot at victory right now is Space.
