The main action centred on us getting Navigation, allowing trade. The Mayans, the fools, have no Harbors!
1 1300 Rush some Kulcha with our pile of cash. Augustodorum on Wealth, switch to unit production. 24393 culture, ? Per turn. Load 2 Knights into the empty Army - don't want to load more in case it has to move by Caravel. Switch Cathedrals to Libraries as per Bede's suggestion - less maintenance. IBT: Maya building Magellans, so I'll seek a trade for Navigation and sell our maps.
2 1305 Culture 24989, 596cpt. Sell our WM to Maya for 77g and 2gpt! Buy Navigation for 683g and 47gpt. Swap maps with Ragnar. The Maya, in their infinite wisdom, have no Harbors so I can't trade with them! Ship Ragnar Iron & Horses for Silks. Gift him Wines, Dyes, Ivory, Gems. Nothing rushed as I'm short of cash from the Navigation deal.
3 1310 25585/596pt.
4 1315 26196/611pt.
5 1320 26813/617pt.
6 1325 27435/622pt. Why haven't the Mayans built any sodding Harbors?!
7 1330 28066/631pt. Vikings have Chemistry.
8 1335 28706/640pt.
9 1340 29352/646pt. Maya have Banking, also have Chemistry. Buy Banking for 118gpt. Banking+18gpt go to Scandinavia for Chemistry.
10 1345 30003/651pt.
Current projected win is in 1804 (T368). I've started on Caravels, and few units. Keep the Knight Army to 2 units until it's transported! In a bit of a gamble, I've set a Caravel off with a Settler - see screenie.
>>>SAVE<<<
If we can get a city there, before the Mayans wake up and snag it, it'll make an invasion a breeze. We can then easily set up a Domination/100K 2fer

Hey I am sorry guys but I no longer have easy internet access for at least 3 weeks - moved homes & off to my folks for Xmas.
I'm going to have to demote myself to an occasional lurker from now on.
I won't wish good luck because there doesn't seem to be much need - (the warmonger in me does hope for a continental invasion...)
Thanks again all for letting me be part of this, I've quite enjoyed it all.

Sorry to see you go (especially as the invasion is in the planning stages )
I will probably suspend the game over the Xmas period, as I'll be away myself.

Took a little managing to get terrain allocated and trimmed to avoid starvation in our crammed core. Those Celtic farmers need to be watched so they don't over produce babies or taties to feed them. If a town is on a river or has an acqueduct it needs to have access to at least 2fpt per citizen to avoid potential starvation problems. We have 75% of the world's population so we don't need to grow the towns any further.
Built some military and boats (for the Adm) and started the fleet to the west coast of Maya per eldar's map.
Planted a town on the Viking held island and rushed cultural buildings.
Shipped some trade goods to Maya to keep the economy from falling apart.
We have three times the culture of the Maya and growing at better than two times as fast so a 100K victory is no longer in doubt, estimated completion date 1794 (92 turns).

I opened up MapStat... 101 cities!!! That's a lot for a standard size map.
IBT- Lose silks, Ellipi riots.
2
IBT- Maya build Bach's.
3
Buy Metallurgy from Smoke Jaguar for 981 gold.
5
Pentraeth founded in the new world. Rush culture.
6
Smoke Jaguar has Physics, but he's charging crazy amounts of cash so no way.
IBT- Molde flips... to us.
