Well, it looks good. At this point in the game, you don't really need new buildings. All those monasteries and temples take a long time to pay back. Forge and Barracks really is enough. I would rather build some wealth and get Steel a few turns earlier. Now you have almost no gold and need to build a few Trebs for upgrades. Great Merchant soon is nice though.
I see you are still building mines, why? You can still put more farms. And after you farmed all the tiles, you could build windmills, much better.
Some micro stuff here and there. Can sell a few resources, maybe stone for 8 gold. Could upgrade 10 Trebs, whip troops and go for Isa. Nice cities and will capitulate quickly. Conquest gold to reach Grenadiers.
Trading for Nationalism would be great, just draft Muskets and attack. But everyone is behind now so that's good aswell.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I know that monasteries and temples require some time for payback, but anyway I will try them. And also they plus mines and workshops will allow to produce a unit around every 3 turns which is around the same as whipping but should be better for econonmy in general. Also I am hoping to get guilds very soon. So, I want to whip asap around 3-4 of my cities and other should produce raw hammers. May be it is not the most effecient...but in some it is better if something will go wrong
Also Isa sent some troops to Hanny. Now she is having very few troops
Drafting is good, but I am not sure how good it would be here. Also it would require anarchy for switching and require to stop bureocracy. Well...I think I will check from this save after I finish the game. I think that that game is about finishing since very soon it will not require so many details.
Session 21.
Turn 134, 475 AD. Did some micro in Yakutsk to get monastery one turn faster. Renewed some trades and sold stone to Isa for 6 gold since Ramesses still doesn't want to talk. Hence, no 8 gpt for stone from him.
Turn 135, 500 AD. Asked for 50 gold from Alex, I need some gold to keep 100% Research. He gave me since last time I asked him around turn 98.
This is another thing why it is good to log your games by hand...%) Put some cities into wealth since I want my GM reach in time the city with Temple of Arthemis.
Turn 136, 520 AD. Inca got Nationalism. Hanny has a two front war and it is good. Even he is attacking...So far, Isa and Zara have some defence. GM was born in St. Petersburg. I think it is time to revolt to Slavery+Theocracy since I don't have enough land to work...So, I could whip something. However, I will keep Bureocracy since I have pretty good capital. And Theocracy would allow 5 exp units.
Turn 137, 540 AD. Some of Hanny's troops were broken at Zara's defence and now I can bribe Zara to make peace with Hanny, but I will not. Also Isa doesn't have a big stack. Steel will be in 6 turns. Resold Dye to Alex and got another +1 to gpt. Some land and cities sizes.
Turn 138, 560 AD.
Moscow is building Trebs in 2 turns, pretty nice. Also I was thinking to birbe Alex to make peace with Zara...And may be try to go into war with Egypt. But he wants too much for peace.
Turn 139, 580 AD. I can start war against Zara. Well...I chosed none of these options. Started building some troops. In most places it takes 3-4 turns. Probably, I even don't need to whip in these cities?...E.g., Novgorod and Rostov. Zara and Isa have Nationalism. Hanny dropped to cautios.
Turn 140, 600 AD. Granary was desroyed in Yaro by spies...It should be Hanny. Zara has pretty safe position and this is a good news. Hanny is
researching Nationalism.
Turn 141, 620 AD. Yaro whipped granary. Now I will start whip heavily some cities. And other cities will be workshopped.
Turn 142, 640 AD. Hanny is reseacrhing constituion. Will do it in 6 turns. The best GNP in ~800 mine is only ~400 and I have place 4. I wonder who has so much...I guess Hyana. Hanny is having around the same as me. Hyana got Gunpowder. I will have Steel next turn. 660 AD looks not bad for it.
.
Some thoughs and plans...I am thinking to attack Isa and take most of her cities and then whip it. Meanwhile I will try to get grenadiers. Probably I can take Nationalism when capitulate her. Another option is Hannybal, but he can peace vassal and so on. I need just more land with food. Marble from Isa also would be good. And 11-12 cities should be enough for army against Hanny.
New question.
1) How big army should I build? Around 12 cannons and 12 muskets/elephants/macemen? So, I can attack Salamanca immediately and go to Barcelona with the second stack.
P.S.
Also in 580 AD Spain lost the horse city to Hanny. Probably I should bribe him for peace soon...By some reason I missed it.
