Turnset 104 (T342 to T343)
T342 Continued - Clams traded to Shaka for 3
per turn.
My empire is definitely in economy_building mode. (If I'm going to whip Markets, might as well whip Forges first!)
Look how few units I'm constructing on the eve of a major war against a Deity AI.
I would never try something so dangerous if I didn't have great intel on the Yue and complete confidence my attack will work.
It better work!
Galley 1-pop whipped in Jayendranagari. (Will explore Yue islands with Vision Chariot)
Hindu Monastery 2-pop whipped in Rajavihara.
Courthouse 2-pop whipped in Hariharalaya.
T343 - The Turkish 10,000 Year Empire now has 10 Million Souls ^_^
Inquisition in Athens (Rome) removed all non-state religions.
Ergili popped borders.
Lingapura the hilltop capital of Khmer still has 4 defenders.
While capturing it won't finish off Khmer, it will be gratifying knowing his empire will exist somewhere only as a brand new 1 population city.
Catapult
lost against Sword in Lingapura at 36.2% odds.
Catapult
lost against Archer in Lingapura at 52.4% odds.
Axe
won against Archer in Lingapura at 95.6% odds.
War Elephant
won against Spear in Lingapura at 83.7% odds.
War Elephant
won against Axe in Lingapura at 96.5% odds.
Axe
won against Sword in Lingapura at 99.9% odds.
Lingapura captured!
Galley + Workboat destroyed.
Worker captured.
The city yielded 72
, 1 population, and a Granary.
There's no new Khmer culture poking into the edges of what I can see.
Asking Yue to attack Khmer, the only option is Berlin.
That means
Krong Chaktomuk isn't on the main continent.
What's even weirder is that Yue isn't at war with Germany (Berlin), only Khmer.
Hinduism spread into Angkor Thom with Missionary.
Bursa completed a Courthouse.
Lighthouse whipped in Rajavihara. (Overflow into Hindu Missionary)
Courthouse 2-pop whipped in Pre Rup.
Courthouse 2-pop whipped in Nagara Jayasri.
Forge 4-pop whipped in Yasodharapura. (Overflow into War Elephant)
Settler 3-pop whipped in Khotan for city 4E4S of Bactra. (Overflow into Moai Statues)
My 4 armies are in place to begin the assault on Yue next turn.
Army Group North will have 3 Catapults, 4 War Elephants, 3 Swords, and 2 Axes.
Army Group Center will have 4 Catapults, 5 War Elephants, 3 Swords, and 6 Axes.
1 Horse Archer and 5 Chariots will be between Army Group's North and Center because their extra movement point allows for support in either direction.
Army Group South will have 4 Catapults, 6 War Elephants, 1 Sword, 4 Axes, 1 Longbow, and 1 Woodsman II Axe.
Army Group West will have 4 Catapults, 2 War Elephants, 3 Swords, and 1 Axe.
The Super Medic Axe will retreat south to defend Angkor Wat once the war starts along with a Catapult, War Elephant, and Sword.
Angkor Wat is too important as the Forbidden Palace city to let a lucky Yue unit capture it.
Khmer still being alive messed up my diplo plans to bribe everyone against Yue.
China is Friendly with Yue, so no help there.
Japan is Pleased with both me and Yue, so he might be willing to DOW for a price.
Traded Japan Aesthetics for a Cease Fire with Khmer + 190 gold.
Japan made peace with Khmer.
..
.......
YES!
Traded Japan Theology for war against the Yue Empire.
Japan DOW'd the Yue.
Maybe Japan's 4 Swords and 2 Chariots can start fighting the Yue right away.
Even if they don't, I still have hope Japan and Yue will have a giant naval battle.
Maybe Toku will capture a few of the island cities near his island cities.
My War Weariness with Khmer is now 216.
