Yes. Not very many so far, so Bugs may see a large stack. Maybe we are lucky they are fighting someone else.
There are some barbs south of canal city.

ok got it, wow, 2 enemies and we have no iron or other techs to really defend properly. sending an unescorted settler south might be dangerous with barb on raging (?)
I guess this starting location isn't all that grand after all
if we survive this, we are really good

we have 6 cities and 1 a settler factory (the only productive city atm) . can we afford to prebuild?
how about River city, that is protected from the enemy?

I like Seville assuming it can grow past size 6 I think. We should definitely start the Prebuild immediately. This is not a game to miss the Glib.

tough start
Pre-Turn
since we face 2 enemies, decide to get some more spears, switch Madrid to spear, Seville to a MP warrior since it will
be a regular unit. one Madrid warrior goes to follow the settler, with barbs better escort the settler
decide to attack the Barb horse, we can't afford any barbs pillaging here, defeat it
increase science a notch
after all input, switch Seville to palace, one turn after the warrior
IT no attacks
1. 1475BC
moving the warrior to cover the settler reveals a barb horse
IT another Barb horse appears near gems
2. 1450BC
nth
3. 1425BC
barb horse is blocking our path to settle, warrior attacks and defeats it
IT the RNG is not with us as a reg warrior attacks vet spear behind walls at Barca and beats it
4. 1400BC
found murcia in the south and we get a warrior from the hut
take out the barb horse near gems
IT 2 Barb warriros appear near Santiago
5. 1375BC
nth much we can do
6. 1350BC
2 warriors next to Santiago, defended by 1 warrior, pull Seville spear over
IT Santigo spear defends against the reg warriror
7. 1325BC
madrid produced another settler to claim the ivory, how to get there is another story
IT pillager spears appear and we better get some archer out
8. 1300BC
lower science, writing in next turn
IT this is bad, units ignore Barca and stream into core
we get writing, IW next in 8
9. 1275BC
kill an archer with our archer, but there are too many units and we have few
IT this is getting nightmarish as units don't attack but continue to run into our core
10. 1250BC
manage to kill 2 archer but 1 archer is exposed to enemy attack next IT
take out barb camp near gems for 25g
we have a settler pair in place for the ivory
battle zone
overall picture

Yeah - this looks like a tough AWE start, much less AWD. Thanks for posting the order, it's always nice to have it on the page somewhere.

Let the invader stream towards our core. As soon as they step out into the open to pillage, nail 'em with an archer. We're really not in bad shape...yet.

#WINNING
harbinger of doom: Spain isn't good for AW.
Babylonian spear steps out into the open, and a Korean archer fells anarcher at Barca. The Babylonian spear defeats the archer produced at Madrid but is killed by the conscript warrior who promotes to regular.
Found Valencia in 1225 but it is going to take a beating from the Babylonians.
In 1200 the Babs attack with two warriors and promote the spear at Valencia to elite.
In 1175 Madrid grows but gets a tax collector because otherwise it is working an unimproved mountain. The Koreans have turned back home but another pair is inbound at Barcelona.
Lose an archer and a warrior trying to kill the Babylonian spear at Madrid and lose another archer at Barcelona trying to kill a Korean spear covering an archer west of Barcelona.
In 1150 the Korean archer steps off the mountain into the open and is eliminated by an archer from Barcelona. A Bab bowman attacks at Valencia but is struck down by the spear. A Korean archer impales himself on a spear at Barcelona.
In 1100 the first Korean sword appears at Samarra, and we learn Iron Working and start on Maths ematics die is 7 @-4 with a scientist at Madrid. We have iron in the borders in the mountains west of Seville.
In 1075 the Korean spear steps off the mountain and threatens the road to Seville so risk an archer from Madrid to kill him.
The Koreans now have a nice stack of combined arms threatening Barcelona.
The Korean swordsman dies but an archer kills a spear.
Kill another Korean spear on the road to Barcelona. The Koreans have rebuilt their stack at Barcelona and the Babylonians are piling swords and bows at Valencia.
The citizens at Madrid require constant fiddling to keep the science rate up, the entertainment tax down and the treasury from going broke. Right now we have a taxman at Madrid with science at 90 and Maths due in 3 @-2 with 16g in the treasury.
There are two workers working on the iron mountain and the others are trying to improve the suburbs of Seville.
The bypass has stopped even though most of the troops are at the front. Barcelona and Valencia are taking the brunt and Valencia is short defenders. There is reinforcement on the way but the lack of roads is slowing him down.
The situation is in hand for now but once a Bab bowman wins a victory at Valencia the Red Tide will wash over our shores.

sounds like a pretty rough ride, if we don't get lucky fast with a MGL and sword army, we can shelf this game
