pre-turn:
- We have only 2 workers - this is way to few: we need to road the iron mountain, we need to build roads to connect our towns to move troops and we might need to join some to the GL city, so i think we should build some more. I switched southern town to worker, and i'll build some more in other towns.
- I moved our settler one tile west, that is a bit too close CxC instead of CxxC, but it allows us to get 5fpt and we won't need a duct. Also it will be connected by a road immidiately and this will reduce the risk of an unprotected city.
- Elvis is currently at 4fpt and about to riot: i reajusted it to 5fpt and shifted units for MP. They can also be used to protect the new city in case of emergency.
- I've been thinking about TGL and here some ideas: I originaly wanted to build it in Mannyland, but it was the target of most french forces and we could not improve enough land around it and won't be able to do it in near future. So it's Grand River or Elvis. Elvis has incredible shield potential if we let it grow past size 6, but we loose our SF and we cannot get TGL faster then in 30 turns anyway (estimated Writing&Lit research time). If we improve tiles near Grand River we can get it to a decent 13spt at size 6: 3BGs, game forest and 2 forests. I think it is good enough if we start early, so i'll start prebuild there. The downside is that we'll need to protect 1 tile from pillaging.
IBT
- We kill 3 french warriors near Mannyland, one reg spear promotes.
- More french units approach, one of them is an archer. Spear moves deeper into our territory threatening many tiles, there is no way i can protect all of them from pillaging, so i'll have to attack him with our archer.
1475BC
- Oil Springs founded, starts granary. It will be another good worker/settler factory. Elvis currently has to many shields for a regular 4-turn factory and to few for a combo factory, so i took some good tiles from it and gave them to Oil Springs.
- Archer kills french spear.
IBT
- We kill 3 more french warriors and our spear is promoted to Elite.
1450BC
- Elvis: settler->worker. I don't see any good and safe locations for cities, so i'll let Elvis be a 2-turn WF for a while. Settler goes south to grab some BGs.
- Switching southern city to worker was a
move, cause it is at size 1, switch it back to warrior loosing 1 turn.
IBT
- As usual we kill 3 french warriors and get another Elite spear.
1425BC
- Mannyland: spear->barracks
- Cattaraughus: warrior->worker
- Salamanca: spear->spear
IBT
- Kill another warrior
1400BC
- Elvis: worker->worker
- Shifting MP allows us to lower lux to 10%
IBT
- kill one more french warrior.
1375BC
- Tonanwanda is founded.
- The flood of warriors ended, french archer is fortified near Mannyland. I attack and killed him with our elite spear.

1250BC
- Salamanca: archer->archer
- Elvis: worker->worker, worker moves to Grand River to join next turn.
Save
And only about 1/2 of the team agreed to GL in Elvis. Grand River at size 6 can work 3 BGs, one game forest and 2 forests which is 11spt after corruption. That is only a few turns later then we research Literature if we join 2 workers to GR.
