Preflight- move archer towards choke, put worker to mining BG. May abandon MP as it is probably going to be captured. Writing continues at min research. Press enter.
IBT - archer + chasqui scout move into choke. archer moves away from MP. Athens' settler completes, and I start another, as it will be at size 2 after the next settler. Sparta Grows and builds curragh. I find that athens, @ size five, can make 10 spt!
1700 BC - Worker finishes a road on sparta's cow and goes to mine the BG. I move the settler to one square SE of the ruins of Kinawaku(sp?). This place, after a temple and a granary, is a four turn settler factory! This will be very, very good for expansion. Sparta begins a worker. move military to choke to stop the chasqui from moving in. Slaves finish road, and begin one through a BG to the cow. Move curragh W.
IBT - See a barbie pop out of fog near tundra.
chasqui scout moves into our lands, but it is no threat to us, so I close the choke behing him on my turn.
1675 BC - Close up chokepoint. Decide to veto sparta's worker for a warrior, as we need MP for that city.
IBT - chasqui moves into fog, hopefully barb busting for us. barb warrior moves next to unprotected settler. See a portuguese warrior. find, from mapstat, that they are up wheel and math, and have 202 gp. we definately want math ASAP.
1650 BC - fortify units on choke, curragh moves to reveal that we are on a peninsula with a possible 'canal' city spot. At least it'll be easy to defend. Found thermopylae. begins a temple as we need that cow going ASAP. It is going to be a damn powerhouse, pumpin' settlers. it is going to get pillaged, so I see what I can buy. Get the wheel from portugal for 115g & 2gpt.
IBT - barb is killed by chasqui. uh oh, it might attack thermopylae. curragh continues W.
1625 BC - close up choke a bit more, next turn we will be able to defend it with only 4 units. cross fingers and press enter.
IBT - chasqui moves away.
thank you RNG. warrior completes out of sparta. begins worker to connect sparta and athens eventually.
1600 BC - warrior from athens moves into thermopylae for cover. athens will be empty until it gets a hoplite. DOH! barb horse kills slaves.
archer moves into incan territory to scout capital. settler completes out of athens, starts hop. settler is moving to 1 square E of archer on ruins. worker finishes road near sparta, begins mine. worker near athens finishes BG mine, begins road on BG next to it for thermopylae to use.
IBT - chasqui kills horseman. a settler pair moves beside choke. curragh moves N up coast.
1575 BC - archer retreats from incan territory, as I am moving the choke back a square.
IBT - Incans found coriha...(can't remember the rest). Increasing number of military units near MP.
1550 BC - move choke back, continue to move settler to the spot I was talking about, will make a good frontline city.
IBT - I think we are going to be sneak attacked, as a spear and archer go beside MP, and the lost chasqui comes to a halt near thermopylae.
1525 BC - move settler closer to city site. sparta pops worker, begins roading a sparta-athens connection. cross fingers yet again.
IBT - they bug off!
again RNG saves the day. warrior completes in MP, begins another. Athens hoplite>hoplite.
1500 BC - meet hittites, we are up on them myst and masonry. no gold though, so no trades. worker near thermo mines BG. settler ready to settle next turn.
IBT - Athens culture expands.
1475 BC - Find very fertile lands outside MP (2 cows). Found corinth, begins worker, can be changed. shuffle troops so that a hop is in corinth.
Save
Screenie:
I seriously thought we were in serious trouble when I saw we were boxed in, but a good job on defeating the Inca. Now we can take Cuzco from both sides and we'll be good to go. Whole war took less than ten turns. nice
