Lets take a look at this save and see what is going on right now. First I hit F6 and wonder why are you researching Combustion, prior to RP. I wonder why it was not done ahead of many techs you have learned.
You are in 10th centry AD and have only a small portion of the land. What is the plan to win this game? How do you go about implementing the plan?
For the recod I would have gone Steam and then Electricity and then RP. Then I could decide, if ToE is the priority or can I wait on that or will just forget it. With rails and Infantry it will be impossible for a regent level game to take me out.
Transports are way down my list of things I need in this game as it will be some time, before you could invade. You have a fair amount of land on this continent to aquire first.
My next question is what techs did you take with the ToE? Do you know that Eclectronic and AT are quite expensive and are usually the techs to take in a normal game?
You only have 15 towns, two I would ignore and wonder why you have them. Either way, that is way to few for 970AD. It is about right for 100AD - 150AD. I would use that as my yard stick to see how I am doing.
Why did we skip MT? This is one of the important techs, unless you are planning to turtle and try for a diplo win. Was it just due to lack of horses? I ignore Space as from this position, it is unlikey to be an option. I see many of your towns were
captured.
The start is not wonderful as it has no water or food bonus near the start. So what was done with the land. Well I have a few concerns. Too many tiles are dead in the very core, near the start. This will hurt your expansion. It is killing you right now.
You are in a position where you could get eliminated in short order and have no means to win the game or a battle. Yet what actions are being taken? Well we have a number of places on wealth. Some making happy structures. Others making gold boosting structures.
How will these things help you win or survive? Two of the things that are critical to doing well in C3C. One expand and two improve the land. This means settlers and workers are king.
When you are getting close to going to the IA and should then be going for Steam, you should make sure you have enough workers to get rails up. For certain 12 workers is not enough to have gotten the land in the shape it should be nor to get rails up timely.
So you seem to be in a fairly poor position, what can be done from here?
Rome trade Steam for Horse, PP and some gold.
Maya trade Medicine for MT, Dem, WM and 9 gold.
USA trade Medicine for Free, WM and 150 gold.
Rome trade Free, Medicine iirc) and Industrial for Nationalism
Aztec trade Medicine and Refine for Silks, WM, 11gpt and 80 gold.
It was done in that order to be sure to get to the point where Montie only had RP to offer. Now you are in a position to get some Cavs and Infantry to defend and fight. You will need to pop out some settlers to fill the spaces.
Make some workers to get the land up to snuff. Use some of the builds going to get a few cav/inf. Get started on some artillery. Use the gold to speed a few things and buy some time. Get a wall in that size 2 town on the border. Move units fromsafe towns to the borders.
Quite impressive. I wish I had the skills to do so.
