EoC2
700AD
A straighforward task: Finish off the Vikings, build a monument, set us up to take on the Dutch.
Not much to do other than swap some Scandanvian clowns to tax collectors. They will pay for this mess. Swap some barracks builds to harbors. The mantra here is food and gold, food and gold except for Iznik, Istanbul and Erdrine and Uskudar. Swap Istanbul to Leonardo's. I'd really like to get Copernicus' there. Once Erdrine finishes its MDI it should probably start the palace as a prebuild for Magellans.
'tis only fitting..Raganr started htis on my watch, so now he gets to die on mine. I think we should just go ahead and finish him off. Alesund would make a nice staging point for hte invasion of the Netherlands.
Spend the treasury rushing libraries in the former Scandanavia cities and pray for an MGL to make them useful
Portugese start SunT

MDI out of Copenhagen head down east coast
What did we do to England? She claims we cheated her.

Start positioning galleys loaded with troops to take Alesund.
Concentrate our workforce in the south to get growth into the towns down there and to trim terrain around Erdrine.

Ready to hit Alesund. I would take that capital to force the capital back to Oslo or Stockholm first. Then finish off the Vikings.
Next player: Found a ski resort on the hill where the settler is parked now. Finish off the Viqueens.
Sorry for the lack of pictures but systemic problems Saturday and Sunday caused massive crashes and reloads.
