IIRC, we have yet to have a golden age. If Abu starts getting pushy, may sic some bowmen on him, guarded by knights and pikes of course.

Ok then, the idea is to restrict Abu to his own subcontinent rather than wipe him out. Good enough, as we are supposed to put away our swords
. So first priority is to defend the choke at Khorsabad. We also will have to take the towns Abu's founding in the west (presently one, but there are three Arab settler pairs running around, so there will be more). Another possibility is getting them by cultural coercion, but that will take a lot of time. Same goes for the Romans, who are also running around on our turf and already founded a town.Short-term To Do-list:
1. Trade for Feud and Chiv
2. Pull up the research slider, get some returns from all those libraries!
3. put some defense in all those empty coastal towns. Otherwise, we'll be sitting ducks.
4. Strengthen the defense at the Arab choke
5. Continue the land grab at CxxxC
6. Rush culture near Arab and Roman towns in the west, in an attempt to coerce them
7. Build small SoD to take Arab and Roman towns in the west, when the time has come. Keep some bows there to spark our GA.
8. Allow all core towns to grow beyond 6 pop, to reduce unit support costs
9. Prebuild for Bach's. We won't get Sixtine because Theo has been around for some time and our best town is Babylon at 10spt.
10. Keep looking for Germans and Hitties, probably build some more galleys.
More than enough to do... I'll be in touch.

600 AD Pre-flight: no changes.
IBT: Vikings and Ottos make peace, Vikings are building Sistine Chapel
1. 610 AD Herding Roman and Arab settlers. Ottos are down to 4 towns.
2. 620 AD Arabs got Feud! They're not as backwards as I thought. Engineering and Mono to Abu for Feud and all his 4 gold. Notice that the fool didn't even connect his iron yet. Decide not to trade for Chivalry, because we don't have the production power to get out Knights at a good rate. So lets build Horsemen for the present. Ashur to Aquaduct... Need cities!
3. 630 AD our gpt deals expire. Make some calculations. Trading for Theo is cheaper than researching it at full speed, when we throw in some luxuries. Leave the slider at 0%, let's just go buy techs when we need them. Now that Feud is in, that's no problem. Consequence: no wonder prebuilds, because we never will catch up in tech enough to finish them. Rush temples in New Babylon and New Ashur. Found New Akkad on the coast.
IBT a Roman galley drops another settler pair. Also spotted a Carthaginian galley sailing by the west coast. Getting busy there...
4. 640 AD Still herding Romans. Babylon builds our first MDI.
IBT Romans found two new towns in our western lands. And towel-man demands Ivory! I don't cave in, as this would be a 20 turn deal during which we cannot declare war without trashing our rep. We are not ready for war,
however. Fortunately he doesn't declare.
5. 650 AD Telloh riots. Ashur produces a much-wanted AC.
IBT Carthaginians also found a town on our turf.
6. 660 AD rush library in New Babylon.
IBT Romans and Ottos sign peace. Guess Osman's gonna live... Hannibal asks us to leave his territorial waters.
7. 670AD rush library in Khorsabad.
8. 680AD rush temple in New Akkad
9. 690AD zzzz
IBT our second galley gets attacked by the redlined barb galley at Desert Retreat.
10. 700AD Ashur generates another AC. Second galley heals at Desert Retreat.

Here's a picture of the western part of our continent.
I failed to do the land grab
Sorry about that. In retrospect, I should have rushed settlers in the towns to the west. There are settlers on their way, but they just come too late.
The second galley was on its way to a suicide run.
In the near future, let's trade for Chivalry, and upgrade horses. According to MapStat, Abu still didn't connect his iron. We could go for iron denial there, because his source is near our borders.

0) 700: Good job in shutting off Arab expansion, though. Rome will not trade Invention for Mono. Turn research back on.
1) 710: Samarra horse-->cathedral. Karana lib-->market.
2) 720: Ellipi starts treb. Where does Abu think he's going with that settler pair?
3) 730: Babylon horse-->cathedral. Pull farmer off to taxman to prevent rioting. Nineveh horse-->market. Ashur aqua-->market. Shuruppak horse-->cathedral. Izibia lib-->harbor. Telloh riots, put farmer as taxman. Tikrit expands.
4) 740: Sippar harbor-->market. Mosul switched to grainary. Mandali built, starts lib. Rush temple in Karbala.
5) 750: Akkad pike-->market. Karbala temple-->market. Rome picked up mono on their own. Contact Germany, we have nothing to trade.
6) 760: Fallujah built, starts temple.
7) 770: Ellipi treb-->Palace (prebuild for Sistine). Zariqum starts aqua.
8) 780: Move units outside Lutetia and shadow Arab settler pair.
9) 790: Learn Theo. Mari treb-->rax. Trade Arabs theo for chiv + 8. Trade Rome theo + 125 + 4/turn for invent. Start guns. Ellipi switched to Sistine.
10) 800: Babylon cathedral-->Leonardo. Eulbar market-->harbor. Larsa settler-->market. Najaf founded, starts lib. Hittites are contacted. We have nothing to trade.
post) Fill in the last gaps and keep putting cultural pressure on the Romans and Arabs. We have three times the culture of Arabia and the others are further back. Try to get banking and econ, we need money. It is expensive to keep people happy with only two native luxes. I renamed the "New ..." cities, as I just don't like looking through 20 cities named New something.

2-start some markets.
3-ZZZ
4-FP is in. as are a bunch of cathedrals. we are now making 31gpt.

keep pumping for culture all over, or markets where none are present.
5-Ragnar demands our tusks. i politely tell to go visit his sheep. he goes away.
some culture rolls in and we get a nice golden dome to our palace.
6-ZZZ
7-ZZZ
8-Guns are in > Edducation in 6. now making 14gpt. if we keep pumping in the markets i see 4 turn techs coming up.

9-Istanbul gets LEOS. babylon gets an overpriced colosseum (21s)
start some knights and muskets, plan to disband some bows.
10- rush West babylons lib. we get a nice garden too.

basic plan A - keep building markets and start some university prebuilds (due in 4)
basic plan B - start building updated troops and disbanding the bows. i have most piled up in 2 groups. west and south.
basic plan C - rush towards BANKS and SMITHS.

Recon: Trade guns to Hanni for Education (I wanna be a rocket scientist) 2 Lux!? bump lux to 20%. Science to zero, employ beakerboy. set off on the path to the trading post.
IT: Babylon arena > knight
910: change Akkad to knight. Science to 30% (banking in 13)
IT: Ragnor finishes Sistine
Infra crap until 990 when Julius plops an archer. We very politely, in a non-offensive, PC voice, ask him to leave. He agrees. His nose grows six inches
IT: Archer moves on Akkad.
1000: drop science to 30%. Demand Julius pack up. He declares. Capture 3 uncovered workers (repeat after me "Julius is a tactical genius") 4/4 knight takes out the archer near Akkad.
BTW - while I was dozing in the middle, Lugdumun flipped to us.
Next player should clear the remaining roman cities from our shores then make peace. Ellipi is doing a pre-build for smiths. Not much to show, so no pix.
