Got some family stuff going on. I won't be able to get to this until Monday. Probably want to skip me.
I too may be unable to get the game until Monday. I am not sure yet. Home internet access wasn't working last time I looked.
I can take the game home on Monday when I go to work. May need a swap or something. Not sure yet though. I guess I can post if I go online.

there ia a stack of workers and 1 cat exposed that will be caught in the IT, this ain't good. A number of tiles in the core are not improved
and our captial employs a taxman due to this.
MM to change this, readjust other towns for better MM. Cover the worker stack with 3 pikes.
IT there are a lot of units running around, worker stack does not get attacked, but initial Indian stacks head west

4. 130AD
rush walls for the upcoming Indian onslaught
attack 1hp spear
sword army defeats 2 units at Theoville, kill 2 units at Oil Springs [24-1]
at Centralia/Poitiers, defeat 4 units, there are now 18 archers, 7 spears and 3 warriors in defferent stacks
IT India attacks and the outcome is 5:2 (we lose 1 pike and 1 MDI) [29-3]
5.150AD
kill 3 French outside Handy lake
defeat 4 more Indians [34-3]
found Oka in the southeast
IT French lose 3 MDI at Handy lake, but beat 1 pike, Indians lose 6 archers at Centralia to 1 heroic pike [43-4]
GL gives us engineering
6. 170AD
defeat 3 units in the east, 1 army healing, kill 2 Indians at Centralia [48-4]

the worst is over in the west, India burned most of their units
7. 190AD
defeat 3 Indians in the west, 1 Spanish in our hinterland
clear 3 units at Handy Lake, march finally onto Vitoria and Asturias
found Chondota in the west

10. 250AD
clear 1 unit and found horse town
clear Babs horse, but spear is left
army next to Chittangong is rested since there are 3 units inside [81-6]
we will get a Mountie next turn and hopefully beat that spear to trigger the GA
I suggest to use it to build some infrastructure as well, we will come out of the GL phase and need some research capability
I would use next MGL for FP then pentagon
situation at horse town a bit hairy for the time being

Looks like nice progress. Agree on building the FP with next leader, but not sure about pentagon. Maybe we should build some libs or markets in our core during the GA. And i think it will be better to switch MDI production to mounties even in the towns where we loose some shields from this.

Looks like were going to be heavily pillaged between turns.
IBT Mauch Chuck Berry is in trouble as a Bowman is dropped off and the spear moves towards it. A road is pillaged outside Horse Town.
260 Kills: 2 Indian spears, Spanish spear and sword, Bowman, Bab spear with a mountie and
MM for the GA with a market and a library dialed up.
IBT Lose an MDI to a Spanish MDI. Babs complete the Sistine Chapel.
270 - @ Chittagong kill the two defending spears and
Kills: French spear, 2 Indian archers, Spanish MDI & Spear & pike
Found Gozpel's Seaside Resort
IBT Kill five Indians at Theoville.
280 Kills: Indian archer & spear, French archer & 2 MDI,
Lost: mountie
IBT Kill a Frenchman and two Indians
290 Kill three Frenchmen, Two Indians, Two Spaniards
Lost: mountie
300 Kill three Indians, Two Babs, three Frenchmen
Lost: MDI
310 Kills Two Indians, three Frenchmen, Two Spaniards, Two Babs
IBT We learn Chivalry and Education.
320 Kill three Spaniards plus two slaves,
Bump science up.
330 Four Frenchmen, Three Spaniards, an Indian settler pair, a Bab
340 Three Frenchmen, Three Indians, two Spaniards
350 Two Indians, a Bab, A Spaniard, and two Frenchmen. Move On Rouen
After Action Keep a force at Tonawanda. The Babs are dropping off units there.
We have some infrastructure completing now. A couple of libraries, a duct in Grand River, a couple of market places, some barracks all complete. Need to keep the libraries and universities building. Well need the science. The last two libraries cut four turns off our science rate. Horse Town has been a favorite as has Theoville.
Heres the front:

bummer....and if I am not wrong, we can't build the cheap MW any longer? I much rather have them so much cheaper.
We now need to get out more towns to start getting science farms. Can we clear the western part of the continent to settle there?
Then we need to push foward faster and soon think of getting armies across. Remember the difficult part is to stop the AI on the other continent...next army shouldn't be filled completely, and we should try and explore a bit first.

lurker's comment: If you haven't had your GA with your UU, you can still build it even though it's obsilete. You might of wanted to waited for your GA...
I did know that. What I don't know is if you can no longer build them when you start your GA or when you end your GA? In other words can we build our UU during our GA if we have chivalry?

What is the difference between a wife and a job?
The job still sucks after 2 years.
Why are wedding dresses white?
So she will match the other appliances.

Yes - We can pillage our own iron and build 30 shield MW's. Do we want to do this, or build as many 70 shield knights as we can during the GA?
I think the MW's under army cover are the better option, but I would like to hear your opinions. More MW's will allow for a faster land grab, and with cat support they can kill pikes.
I also plan to build a couple of boats to explore with. Priority #1 needs to be finding the other continent, and the insertion of an army over there. If we accomplish that soon we are almost assured of victory.
I won't play until tonight, so speak up.
