IBT: discover map making- polearms (to get longbows next, who are 6.1.1 and 40 shields). We should get Divine Right next to be able to build sheriff's office, which decreases corrpution in the city, increases tax revenue by 25%, shield production by 50%, and and 1 unhappy citizen happy).
anycra Cataphract-Cataphract

1107: Fatimid Capliphate drop off a sword man (but it disappears next turn, so I am presuming it was a assasin) on the island of Naissus, which has 1 of our kings. I evacuate him.

Trade world maps around. We have knowledge of the world now.

IBT: Ephesus -town hall

1110: Make peace with Germany, and they give us Hannover, WM and 4 gold
 
a few things...
One, we had a military alliance with Burgundy vs the Germans, we shouldn't have made that peace until we took Hannover

Two, sorry about the king unit there, I should have made a spear sooner :cringe:

Three, I was cutting down trees because I wanted to irrigate the land, I know it was a bad move but I just wanted Corinth to become a powerhouse city.

Finally, why only 5 turns? And have you read what I did in my earlier post, because it would have helped you understand what was going on if you had...

1. Sorry, I didn't notice the military alliance. I took Hannover in the oeace however.....

2. I dont know what happened there, but no Fatimids attacked.

3. Ok, I thought that Corinth had enough food from the few plains with irrigation around it, but I guess that is not the case

4. Sorry for not clarifying this, but I have to study for exams :scan: :scan: :scan: , and thus can only play and post 5 turns. However, I'll sneak in the last 5 turns tomorrow :).
 
ahhh good, you had me worried. I would recommend you cut down that one forest near corinth though :rolleyes: for its sake.
Try to keep attack on abbasids strong, you can tell they are breaking!
 
Try to eliminate Abbasids asap. Attack the king unit cities. Our goal was conquest victory and we want to look forward or we run out of turns.
 
that is true, but we can't forget to take some cities before we go, just so we'll have some production over there
 
hopefully andvruss we'll make his post by 6pm eastern time since i'll be kinda busy after that
