On we go.
I made the deal as mentioned above.
I revolt right away and we draw 4 turns of anarchy
I have to micromanage a bit to reduce our dept per turn.
IBT:
nothing
290BC (turn 3):
vArcher defeats archer (7-0)
12 cats bombard Athens:
5 hit (Yes there are 5 hoplites in the city right now. We need more luck with bombing)!
vSword defeats archer (8-0)
We meet the Arabs, who are really backward
IBT:
anarchy
270BC (turn 4):
The siege of Athens continues:
13 cats bombard the capital:
Again only 5 hits
(But more cats are coming)
found Antalya --> worker
IBT:
The Statue of Zeus has been built in Rome!
250BC (turn 5):
The Siege of Athens is still without any success.
IBT:
We chose Monarchy as out government
230BC (turn 6):
The Siege of Athens:
6 hits finally.
Now the top hoplite is down to 2 hits.
vSword loses to hoplite (8-1)
vSword defeats hoplite (9-1)
IBT:
Istanbul:
worker --> sword
210BC (turn 7):
Athens:
14 cats
6! hoplites are guarding Athens
7 of 14 cats hit.
IIt really makes no sense to attack Athens. We do not have enough cats, nor do we have enough swords.
Not sure what to do here.
I attack other roaming Greek units:
vSword defeats archer (10-1) and promotes to elite
vSword defeats archer (11-1)
An army would really help us!
IBT:
Edrine: sword --> sword
Bursa: sword --> sword
190BC (turn 8):
I move some units onto the Greek dyes to pillage them next turn.
IBT:
nothing
Aydin:cat --> cat
170BC (turn 9):
pillage Greek dyes
IBT:
Istanbul: sword --> sword
150 BC (turn 10):
eSword defeats archer (12-1) (fishing for leaders)
