Pre-Turn
hey, it's 1870, an even date
I can see that we will get dyes and furs as additional luxes, that will do us really mighty good
Avignon looks like a junk city to me that we raze and replace
WW is really high, increase to 50% lux to avoid starvation
IT we go 10:2 on defense losing the 2 units to India
1. 1871AD
facism is in, astronomy next on the way to physics, revolt immediately
we get the Statue of Liberty
need to get our furs back, go 9:1 at the choke and reoccupy furs
defeat 2 cats and raze Avignon, surprisingly the culture borders do not change at all, guess Paris must be close
suicid a cannon at Chartres, defeat 6 units
this pushes the borders back and we start to connect dyes
IT no attacks on the IT and anarchy is over, time to MM the empire
2. 1872AD
we can reduce lux to 20% and with dyes possibly to 10%, science 60% and astro due in 5
go 5:1 at the choke and it's pretty much cleared of enemy units
dyes are online and we go 10% lux
3. 1873AD
we have sufficient units to hold the choke, all reinforcements should go to take out France
progress slowly to the French core
4. 1874AD
reach Paris, that is full of cats
IT we survive 3 attacks at Paris and defeat 4 units at the choke
5. 1875AD
bomb Paris defenses to 0% and advance more units, defeat some units at the choke and sink the usual caravels
I am sure all the nets ripped will causes some health problems too
decide to start rushmore in Bremen, it takes 18 turns but we will eventually get it
IT France goes 9:2 in an attempt to save Paris
6. 1876AD
suicide a cannon at Paris, then defeat 6 units
France is down to 3 cities
kill 3 knights at the silver city
lux is now 0%, Paris has Notre Dame, maybe that's the reason
IT defeat 6 units at the choke, astronomy is in dropping our income, physics next
7. 1877AD
at the choke, stay passive, try and advance in farnce as fast as possible, lux needs to be raised to 10% again
IT India suicides 4 units at the choke
8. 1878AD
advance towards Orleans and Lyons
found Bochum in France
IT no attacks as the AI seems confused as to where to attack
9. 1879AD
defeat 3 units in Lyons, 1 left, Orleans has 2 units left
we got a Great Prophet, put him next to Hamburg, we can use him as a specialist to generate more money of wait for GA
for 2 more?
defeat a few units near the silver city
keep city in order to push forward at the choke, which should be our next goal
IT 4:1 at the choke losing an exposed wounded Cav
10. 1880AD
if we could get the stone at Asyut online, we can save turns on Rushmore
it's time to say bye bye, capture Orleans, France no more
clear some units at the choke, but lose a Cav
spot a huge stack of Indian navy approaching us from the south
defeat 2/3 covering frigates, we should be able to defeat them before they arrive
I think I neglected the navy a little, please do get more destroyers
next turn WW should drop a lot so we can go for 0% lux, physics is due in 6
don't forget to spread our faith in the new cities, and we should decide what to do with the Prophet
started Kremlin is Cuzco, up for discussion
