1050 (0): Taking a look around...it just seems like a good idea to wipe out the pathetic cities that still stand before our Glorious Empire, and then focus on infraestructure (Just to plan how to terminate the rest, mind you). Athens switches to Newton's. Please understand this move, I believe one city less producing cavs doesn't mean much, and even if we don't get newton we can just grab US. Courthouse rushed at Guimaraes, Corumbra. MM in cities to gain 2 turns to smith at the expense of Sparta's cavs. Library rushed at knossos. Ephesus changes Cav to marketplace. Rhodes rushes courthouse rather than finishing aqueduct. Well right now we are making 720 cash for science and losing 3gpt. Let's see if my decission were good or a complete mistake
.
AI Turn: Deal with Sumeria is over, and it's not like it suits our interests
. Well, I traded them saltpeter for species and 12 gpt. Don't be nuts about them getting muskets, by the time we attack them, I believe we will have Inf. Killed an an attacking Longbowman. A couple of mongol caravels wander around the East of the empire.
1060 (1): Guimaraes starts marketplace, Bunch of units started. Now we are researching 746 gpt, 26 up from 720 while making 14 gpt, however, I got an extra 22 gpt with the change of the deal, so we are now getting 5 less gpt. Seems it wasn't a bad idea, even if I spent quite a bit.
Longbowman killed. Upgraded some muskets to rifles, mainly in case the mongols disembark. Moved troops near to a hitite city whose name I can't see
AI turn: Ivory deal expires, and we lose a bunch of gpt :O. Oh well, we will see. A hitite knight retreats and a longbowman is killed. Musket now elite
1070 (2): The defenders of Alaca Hayuk are slaughtered, but the full 4 laborers resist.Our army takes out a pike at kadesh, and 1st castelo conquers it. I hope I can finish the war (i.e. control all our continent). Chemistry to babs for Ivory, since they are so hopeless anyway
.
AI does nothing.
1080 (3): Our glorious Army takes Ereen, the only mongol city in our land. It even gets promoted (now 14 HP
). Made peace with the mongols, taking 19 gold from them. RR feast!. Too bad our workers aren't on our core cities, but they will get to there in some turns.
1090 (4): OK, I'm an idiot. Peace with the mongols raised WW as they had done nothing to us
. Some cities fall into disorder. Industrialization next turn, SCI lowered to 30%. MM all around the cities to get the max out of them.
AI: Mongolia allies with French Vs poor babs!
. Hitite longbowman killed.
1100 (5): Industrialization researched, Electricity in 7 @ +113 gpt
. Pergamon is founded using a spare settler, just to fullfill our lands. More terraworking.
Adana falls, and the Hitites with them
. Portugal is next, with the almighty army around, I don't think they have many chances, but I reinforced with some cavs. Funny thing is they still won't acknowledge our envoy
AI TURN: Our palace expands.
1110 (6): Guarda, the last of the portuguese cities, fall. Time to reorganize our Empire. Changed tons of things, I think we can take a break with our military, just to build stuff that will later gives us A LOT of more and better units. On a side note, Hector really doesn't have anything interesting to do. Best cities are making wonders and there's no point in building an army right now. I guess he can be used to rush the Military Academy once Newton's finished.
AI: Paris finishes Bach.
1120 (7): Just about nothing. More RR, no good deals. We need an army of workers, so I think I will get a few more.
AI Turn. I don't know WTF is up, but now I get a pop up that the French are building Sisten?? :wtf:. How is it possible they start it now?. I assume it will be finished soon by someone.
1130 (8): A galleon is produced, we want some of them to invade Mongolia. More RR is done, we will soon get to our core, but we need to change some irrigation to mines (stupid AI..)
AI: Ta-Tu builds Mageyan's Voyage. Good, since it's pretty close to us
.
1140 (9): Another Galleon produced. Peaceful times.
1150 (10): Lots of cultural expansions as a result of bought libraries. Notice that we now control 37% of land mass and 52% of population. Electricity next turn, I think it's a good idea to go then to Replaceable parts, mass upgrade, and perform a massive slaughter vs the mongols who don't have even rifle. If it turns out that we don't have rubber, let's just conquer it.
But of course, it's all up to the next ruler
