Spoiler :
890AD (T204)
Boat next to Hammi's island, do not know if we already knew them or not.
3 MDI managed to kill the lone regular hop and eliminate Alex. Wonder if he sent out any units in the galley I saw? He had dropped a sword earlier. Got 11 gold as well. So no peace allowed now with Ghandi.
3rd and 4th each whack 2 spears and we take Bombay and now can make horses. No gold, 1 slave.
MDI at Madras kills archer and goes elite.
IBT:
Probably missed a few things as Gil tried to make an alliance. Many Russians died (Gil). This is not really good as that suggests too many units came out of the towns and they may be vulnerable now.
Japan joined the fight against Russia.
IBT:
Russia lost a few units to Sumer.
910AD (T206)
boat sees Konigsberg.
2nd kills 2 spears and takes Bangalore. It had at least a galley in it. This put Ghandi as an OCC afaik. I am not sure of the spirit of the game. To me this is perfect as I do not want to go after Gil right now. He has a town on the island that I have 2 towns on.
He has towns next to several of mine. I would prefer to go after Russia next. They have sent quite a few units out and should be getting thin. I also see that there is a 11 turns to go peace deal with Gil anyway.
IBT:
looks like 8 Russian units died and 2 of Gil's.
970AD (T212)
Couple of MDI take down Hyderabad and eliminate Ghandi.
Start on Invention and switch build of units to knights.
990AD (T214)
Arabs also want alliances against Russia. So they still have Sumer, Japan as well. India is gone, but they were at war with Russia.
IBT:
Well not unexpected and I had taken some steps to be bepared, but not really enough. Russia made peace with Sumer and demanded Silk. I refused and got the DOW. I think I won all the fights, but one. I think 5 attacks occurred, but all were single units. I lost a huge stack of workers to a knight coming out of Russia. Not an issues as the army will take them back.
1000AD (T215)
kill off the 7 Russians in the borders.
kill 3 in Yakutsk and raze it for 0 gold and 2 slaves. BTW captured back the slaves.

It takes 2 galleys, but we sink a Russian galley by Bangalore.

IBT: (1020AD must have missed some recordings)
Gil wants to sign a new peace deal. I do it and then turn off the renegotiate option. I did not expect him to want a new deal.
1030AD (T218)
MDI from Salonika kills knight and takes no damge and goes elite, sweet.
Another MDI retreats a knight and Neo1 MDI finishes the job.

start MT
5th kills 2 and takes Kazan.
4th grabs a worker enroute to Tver.
Cathy has 2 towns akaik.
1285AD (T247)
4th kills pike and takes Tver. Been shifting troops to the other end to get ready for Gil. He has some cavs and some rifles for sure.
Gil has 13 towns spread around. Rome has 27 afaik.
1300AD (T250)
4th and 5th kill 2 muskets and a lb and takes the last town. Now I am not sure of the rules. Do I have to DOW immediately? Does the rule of no rep breaking override the DOW? I am not sure how to proceed. What I do is no breaking trades is on the highest level, so I am not going to DOW. I will try to provoke Gil next turn and see how it goes.
1305AD (T251)
Gil is not annxious to DOW as the advisor claims we are stronger. Given that the AI does not do a good job of factoring in our armies and our superior tactics I would expect we are mucher better than Sumeria. I even slapped a town right next to him and that usually causes trouble.
1310AD (T252)
start Ed
1320AD (T254)
I tried to get him to DOW by demanding his troops leave, but that did not work 2 turns ago. So I decided to decalre as I did not want to wait for the trade to end and I will not make any per turn deals anyway. I may make straight up trades, but none for x turns.
So I DOW and a Sip kills a musket and I find we are in a GA. I had not known the GA had not been used. A tip off the hats to the players for that. Basicaly the game is in the bag as I am poised to roll a number of towns this turn.
BTW Rome landed 2 cavs and I whacked them.
5th kills 2 rifles and we raze Magaden for 2 slaves and a cannon. I use the cannon on a Roman caravel.
1st finishes last unit and takes Sumer. It had 13 units and took 17 units plus the army. It has KT iirc.
3rd clears a path to Umma and we kill off 5 units using 9, not counting the 3rd. It has Sistine. Got 6 cannons. Not tracking the gold.
I just checked Sumer and it has Bach, Newton and KT. So it was Copes on the island town. That makes more sense as it must have taken a long time.
Grabbed many workers wandering around my land.
2nd and 2 Sips take Kish. It had at least one boat.
Bad-tibra had only 1 rifle and I nearly got it with a Sip, both went red and I died. Second Sip captures it.
Kill a few wandering units and leave a LB at 1hp as I do not want to be exposed.
I have 2 island towns about to fall.
1325AD (T255)
4 units kill 2 and we take Zabalam.
MDI kills a LB next to Hyderabad.
2 mdi kill 1 musket and take Kisurra.
I forgot to count the boats in these towns. One had several animations flashes.
Whoops, I did not realize that all nations had not been met. I did not track whom I met in what order.
I think it is currently:
Sumeria
Japan
Arabia
*****
Babylonia
Germany
Rome
Byzantine
Going with this list as it is the only one I have.
Toss in 3 armies and 11 units to take down Ur and its 10 defenders. It has Pyramids, Colossus, GLB, Sun Tzu, Magellan an MoM.
Going to get some techs during the IBT.
Lagash had 2 defenders and was no problem. Japan is next on the list, but I need a lot more boats. They are very backward, but I am sure they have lots of junk like spears and horses piled up. I can see most tiles have horses on them. 2 cannons were in Lagash and they must have been ours orignially.
IBT:
got many techs from the GLB. Got a free tech.
