1025 (0): Medan worker --> warrior.
975 (2): Jakarta settler --> settler.
950 (3): Our North Atlantic Bangka reaches Greenland.
Construction is in play--independently discovered in the Old World (Germany) and the New (Aztecs) on the same turn. We send CoL, Polytheism, and Map Making to Germany for Construction and 85 gold, then sell Construction to the Mongols for 548 gold.
Medan warrior --> warrior.
925 (4): We found Palembang six tiles NW of Jakarta, on a hilly site that should eventually be shield-strong.
875 (6): We found Djokjakarta on my preferred site in north Borneo. It has two BG, a whale, and jungle fruit.
We can see the ruins of a city the Aztecs have razed, so presumably we'll meet their enemies soon.
Jakarta settler --> settler, Medan warrior --> warrior.
850 (7): Surabaya barracks --> spearman, Bandung harbour --> barracks.
The Indians sneak a city onto our home island, on a worthless site south of Semarang. This is probably good, since it means we should be able to start any war with India by taking this city and their iron town in Thailand, inflicting enough pain that a minimum we'll be able to end the war whenever we want.
825 (8): Our New World Bangka makes contact with the Venuzuelans, who are taking a tremendous hammering from the Aztecs--three razed cities that we can see. They're far off the pace technologically, but we sell them Philosophy for 212 gold.
775 (10): We found Makassar on Celebes, the six-tile island just east of our home island. It has...well, it has one tile that's forest rather than g_____n jungle so it can build a harbour quickly.
Our North Atlantic Bangka reaches Canada and meets the Americans. They're broke and mildly backward (by Polytheism and Construction), a useless contact for now.
Jakarta settler --> settler.
750 (11): Our New World Bangka makes contact with the Brazilians, and we know the whole world apart from the Argentines. The Brazilians are very backward, and all we can do is sell them Philosophy for 106 gold.
Our warrior wandering through Siberia pops a hut and gets barbs. Well, the warrior had no other function at this point.
