Since we won't do free palace jump I think the palace in rome is not that bad. I agree totally on a fp in china or japan territory and the military academy. We will have to fish some more leaders.
@Vizurok: If you play while the forum is down, you could send me the save file and description via mail. I'd be happy to play on the weekend.

I had very good turns, both in military and science...
But Im not sure how can we conquer the world with legions. Its very hard to kill a fortified spearman in a town, they usually redline the legions. The continenet will be ours, but I dont think that we will be able to conquer the another continent.
Turnlog:
Preturn:
Research set on 60% - we can get Monarchy in 1 turn, too.
Turn 1 (330 BC)
Our scientists have mastered the secrets of Monarchy, and they are going on Currency in 8 turns with -13gpt. Good news: We get Construction from Abe and Mao.

Turn 3 (290 BC)
Kiev: Legion --> Legion
Cumae: Legion --> Legion
Lugdunum: Legion --> Temple

IT: American horse and warrior attacks Washington, we win without losing HP.
Turn 5 (250 BC)
Veii: Settler --> Settler
Antium: Legion --> Legion
Brundisium: Barracks --> Legion
Moving, healing, not very interesting...
IT: A barb galley attacks our galley, he fails.
Turn 6 (230 BC)
Rome: Legion --> Legion
AAArgh!!! I cant believe it! I atack a non-fortified regular warrior on plains with a veteran Legion, and we lose him. He must be Asterix! But what is he doing in the american Army?
Turn 7 (210 BC)
Pompeii: Temple --> Legion
Syracuse: Worker --> Legion
San Franciso autorazed.
Chinese sword arrive to Tokyo. Good, I cant get that city, so they will wound the defenders.
Research on 50%, Currency 1 turn, -1gpt.
IT: Both Swords die. Chinese settler pair is heading to ex-Osaka.
Turn 8 (190 BC)
Many cities --> Legion
expect Rome: Legion --> Temple
We have Currency! Research set on CoL, due in 4 turns, -21 gpt. I decided to advance to the medievals before the revolution.

It seems that we've found a pass to the other continent... maybe.

Pisae: Legion --> Legion
Nara autorazed.
IT: China and America signs Peace Treaty.
Turn 10 (150 BC)

New York autorazed, we get a worker.
Scrennies:
The Core of the Roman Empire
Ex-Japan, Japan and China
Ex-America, America
Summary: Not necessary...
Revolt after CoL, then Monarchy.
Military: Build Legions!
Only one thing: a galley is sailing in the sea surrounded with ocean, I hope it will see land, not dead-end...
Good luck to
The Save:
Glory to Rome!
Oh, I forgot it: I didnt start buiding marketplaces, dunno why, so change the Legions to Markets...

Looks like good turns! I have been seeing that problem with the other continent coming too. Here are my thoughts. Of course we have to find them. Once found we have the economy to gather contacts and maps. Get a dogpile going on the bigdogs over there and get ALL of them fighting to slow down their tech and infrastructre building. Get the Lighthouse or navigation and while keeping them fighting go make our grand entrance on the new continent. I think it is important to get some suicide goiing, and quick.

Pre-Turn: some mm to stop riots, some waking of units

IBT: we enter the middle ages, Rome temple - market, Pompeii legion - legion, Lutetia legion - aquedcut, piece of palace
110bc: research to zero, hire a scientist , feudalism in 40 (for Sun Tzu's), revolting, hire a ton on taxmen and entertainer - we are already late revolting - too many big cities - we get 6 turns anarchy

90bc: moving troops

We now know everybody but the Spanish - they have an isle of their own. As Alexander and Osman have monotheism we will get it soon. Bad thing is: we have no safe way to cross and it seems not even the Great Lighthouse will give us one, as shortest cross is 6(!) fields.
IBT: we lose more workers...
10bc: vet legion kills an american sword

We declare on Ottos, pay Joan with Monarchy to join, the greek pay us 15 gold and map to join, we declare arabs and pay cleo 20gpt to join, that should get them moving.

No sea passage makes it rough. This means we need to speed up research and slow them down so we get navigation WAY before they get Rifles or cavs. Pick the biggest civ over there and declare and then declare on another and then drag the rest in on top of those two. Then blaze our path towards navigation while taking out China. As long as they don't know China we can bust the ROP and as long as they are dead prior to contact it is OK. Build markets and banks for cash to rush legions and galleys that will upgrade to caravels. Hopefully we will have 100+ legions ready to go when we get to navigation.

Not good. We need to get our research up fast and go straight to navigation. Can some one post mini map?

I concur with what I think you are saying about researching Feudalism. SunTzu's would have been nice if we we're only fighting on our continent. It will be useless for us on this continent. It would be a nice target city for one of our first landings, especially if coastal. Let the AI have it over there. Head towards navigation. Lots of legion, 20-25 boats and cash generating buildings. If the FP isn't up yet get one soon for more cash and legions.conehead234 said:

It takes a while but I locate the American Invasion Force in the jungles of Boston. Hire a tax collector in HIspalis to forestall riot. Turn up the heat on the scientists to get us to Feudalism in 7 at a sunk cost of 357g
Etruscan horseman go on a rampage. Ransack Caesarea and we lose 15g
T1 70AD
Kill four Etruscans and lose a vet legion to one outside Washington
Start assembling a Chinese invasion force in the East and move the American force towards Miami
T2 90Ad
Manuvering to Miami. Kill another Etruscan horseman.
With Feudalism due in 5 switch Rome to Hanging Gardens to accumulate shields for SunT's.
Etruscans kill warrior in Washington and take 12g. Their horsemen also attack Miami and promote the garrison spear to elite but wounded. They also hit Lugdunum just before covering legion gets there and destroy the temple foundations.
Ottomans finish the Great Wall
Pisae grows and riots
T3 110AD
Assembling in the east for China Invasion. Kill another Etruscan outside Atlanta
Battle for Miami
Elite American spear kills attacking vet legion. Elite legion cripples elite spear. Elite legion kills elite warrior. Vet legion kills crippled spear and Miami is Roman. Vet sword kills last Etruscan horseman in jungle
Egypt and Ottomans sign an alliance against us
T4 130AD
Build Tarentum in east on coast.

Vet legion kills crippled elite spear and Seattle falls and burns
In a foolhardy move single vet legion attacks Philadelphia and dies.
T9 230AD
T10 250
Whack a barb get a promotion to elite by a galley and a legion.
The Amerika Killers are healing in the rubble of Seattle and will be ready to move on Philly on the next turn. There are legions in place to move on China in the NE and SE. Galleys are moving up both coasts for patrolling duties and to be ready to pick up the victorious legions for the invasion to the east. SunT is due in Rome in 20 and nobody we know has Feudalism yet. Theology is due in 9 @-45gpt with 626 in the bank. There is a settler in place to close the choke east of Entremont with garrison troops ready to attack China when the time comes. The Chinese have been schlepping settler pairs around in the east and legions are waltzing with them to try and guide their schlep.

Is the rest of the civs on the other continent at war? We need them all in a balanced war to cause some attrition and slow the tech pace to a snails crawl for them. Keep them at war. My $.02
