I see that Hippoville has been producing lots of units - and it is a great city to do so.
There's no penalty to switch from the pikemen to crusaders, and that would be great if possible. I'd then take the two crusaders (with perhaps one or two others from somewhere) and pummel an enemy if I can!
As for after, I'd like to see a barracks. If Olympia does the same, Hippoville and Olympia can churn out vet units nice and quickly to take a few cities from those civs silly enough to cross us :slay:
What are the sleeping caravans? If one of them is the undleivered beads caravan let's deliver it!!!
