And if your screen resolution is not high enough, that was NINE BOWMEN lost in Sagres. Here is the Save and what lead to this "event"....
Where do we go from here?
I go ahead and switch Babylon and Ellipi to settlers. One will go in the unclaimed spot between Samarra(2sq) and Sarges(3sq), east of Nineveh(3sq) and south of Ellipi(3sq). The other will be west of Madras(2sq) to seperate Jaipur from Calcutta.
Did someone mention there are 4 Indian archers, 2 warriors and 3 spears surrounding Madras? Only one warrior is in our territory. I have 3 turns to protect Uruk and Madras woth more than one bowman.
Does any one know how we are getting our Spices from Mogolia? Teh only road is connected to Portugal. Thre turns to war then.
End Turn
430BC-1 Akkad bowman-->warrior for MP. Eridu temple-->worker w/o barrack I fortify 2 bowmen in Ellipi. Move workers to connect Samarra and send a Bowman to Uruk.
IBT Mongols ask us to remove our warrior. India moves a warrior/spear from our border.
410BC-2 Asher grows to 5 and gets a taxman and so does Babylon. The two scientists will not help us get to Republic.
IBT India swappes the warrior for a spear in our territory. Spice deal ends.
390BC-3 Ahsur bowman-->warrior for 2nd MP. We make 21GPT but that is close to Currency. I want Currency to get Map Making from Germany. Since Henry will not give it to us outright, we will take some Iron and Gems. 11 bowman prepare to fire from the mountain top.
IBT Mongols kick us out. Spear runs from Sarges to Nineveh that will be guarded by a bowman next turn. Workers go running to safety. Warrior emerges from the south by Madras. I see one more warrior on the road from Rio Jeneiro to Sagres. Incas an Mongols start Sistine's.
370BC-4 Babylon settler-->bowman Akkad Sagres still has a reg spear on top.
VB v FRS wins 3-3 and promotes.
EB v RS loses 2-5
VB v RMI wins 3-1
VB v 1hpS wins 1-1
We capture 0g and three workers and 5 resistors. Starts a temple. Now to hold it with 8 bowmen until we get peace.
IBT We get FP message. 4 resistors gone. Portugal starts Knights Templar. Spear heads to moutain and warrior heads back to India.
350BC-5 Nineveh bowman-->library Ashur warror-->bowman Ellipi setter-->bowman Uruk temple-->library Send bowman to kill warrior north of Sagres and wins 3-1. Two bowmen follow for cover. Faro, the next town east, has a reg pike. With teh extra taxmen in Sagres, I send Shake 22GPT and 44g for Currency. Biz has only 3g to go with Map Making but we need to see the next age. Well, Germany got the better of that deal all around picking up Feudalism while we got Monotheism. Monotheism and 4GPT to Rome for Monarch and 6g. Germany does not want Monarchy and Monotheism for Feudalism. Shaka will offer full value of Dyes, 21GPT and 81g for Monotheism. All of that extra income is still close. He will not take one of our luxuries. He wants both. He gets nothing else this turn.
IBT Henry starts to move on Sagres. Indians and Mongols start on Leo's.
330BC-6 Eridu worker-->library Samarra temple-->barrack Pull two bowman back to Sagres who were heading south. Three others head to Mountains. We will lose our Iron nest turn. I do not want to attack the spear in the mountains. Germany picked up Monarchy.
IBT The resistance in Sagres ends. I think it is due to the nine MI we can see. They seem to be looking at the 3 slaves I have sent to Eridu.
310BC-7 Defeat a spear chasing after a settler that starts Eulbar and a temple. The second settler is in Madras but I cannot move my bowmen down there yet.
IBT FLIP
