I go about the cities, adjusting builds, putting levies to the front in most cities, send out the 3 missionaries, move rifles to the front lines, move about garrison troops.
I pull the Trigger on the Steam Power trade for Constitution, and revolt to Representation in 3 turns, Queue up Democracy as next tech for Statue of Liberty.
Group together the 2 stacks going into Saladins lands, and join them up with Lysnder.
T+1
We get a +3 Random event, for which I pay the gold, 110
.
I move the invading stack back, as Saladins sending one at us, and it'll collide with Sitting Bulls 1st, once I get out of way, why take damage.
Go about cities adjusting after growth.
Whip a Library in Gepid, starving anyway, and it can run specialists, I'm going to start to farm over some cottages, and run specialists under Caste System, as it'll take too long to grow them. Better 6
with filters now then gold later.
T+2
Nothing much of great note happens, I note a few farms to be built around Tolosa, Gergovia, I sneak our invading stack to the north of Wangs lands to avoid a confrontation with Saladin,
and settle the Great merchant in our wall Street city, renamed as such.
T+3
I have to pay 93
to save the forge in Versailles, not happy Jan. Gepid builds a Jewish Monastery then a University, good food surplus.
As well, I do a 3 turn civics switch, to Representation, Free speech, Caste System, and Free Religion for the 10% research.
Saladin, seems to have by passed Sitting Bulls stack, though as they are next to each other, war may be on cards IBT's
T+4
Looks like Saladin and Wang, both Cleaned up Sitting Bulls stack, I clean up a Calvary of Saladin, seeking to flee the carnage. We lost a rifleman to a Rouge Calvary, the stack ended up next to. Set to bombard Medina next turn.
I decide to use the Espionage we have on Wang and steal a tech if we can from Pyongyang.
T+5
5 Cannons get promoted from Barrage 1, and Accuracy (unlike my spelling) to take out the Cultural defences in 1 turn, next they all get City raider 1 and 2 and hopefully make it to 3 and beyond.
The first 2 cannons sent in are barrage 1 cannons that were damaged in the Calvary attack, odds of 0.1 and 0.2%, only wanted to do Collateral damage to troops defending for later attackers.
2 more city raider 2's at 5 % and 13% respectively, both fail, send in our Great General raider now.
At 85% he's reduced to 0.7 health, OMFG...!!!, well, it was a city defence 3 defender.
Cannons are too precious now, send in a Pinch promoted rifle at 59%, winner. City defender 2 at 76%, LOSER!!!!
Only needed 1 point, bad choice. Next rifle, cleans up the same defender, who wasn't scratched. Next at 76% again, cleans up. Now I take the city.
Interestingly, Sitting Bulls Infantry seem to be running away from attacking Wang. Must be re-grouping for a big push.
T+6
Out of Anarchy now, research has nearly doubled, with similar loss of gold as before. Democracy due in 7 turns, a drop of 7 from previously. Hmm Emancipation unhappiness is up to -8 in Uruk and Kish, is not very happy at all.
I run a flat 20% Culture, it kills the Research a bit, but what ever, dropped it in a turn or 2.
T+7
Settle in the Garrison troops, give Pinch promotion, or 2nd first strike level, don't want a surprise attack, label cities in order to be taken, and move 2nd stack into Saladins lands. Send a group of 3 knights to pillage 2 towns, that Wang will be able to work, and will hold Culturally for a long time.
T+8
IBT's Saladin picks off 2 knights and 1 rifleman with 2 Calvary and 1 rifle, losing 1 rifle on the 2nd rifle. I clean up these troops.
I lose 1 Rifle and 1 cannon, attacking the 2 Calvary, and have to swap the main stack to city No 3 to cover the attacking rifle, and send the relief stack to City No 2.
Its of no matter, just cleaning up now, need more pillages for the cottages Wang will get.
T+9
Nothing much to report, move stacks into positions, see a destroyer from Sitting Bull, build some farms etc, switch research back to rail road, for hammers.
I settle a city for the national Hermitage, to flip 2 of Wangs cities to us.
T+10
I play rudely and take the city 3rd in order, out of order
I send in 2 Barrage 2 cannons first.
Follow up with 2 city raider 2 cannons, I lose 1 rifle at 76%, what else, and Lysander, at 98% is reduced to 0.4 health. and clean up the city.
Well, I justify it by the 3 turns of Anarchy I suffered, I may have changed to civics your not happy with, but long term, I think they work best.
That's the last war set I'll play, so another reason.
