1510 (0): Nice micromanagement for multiples of thirty and forty shields.
I change a few low-shield, high-commerce cities to university builds.
We ride down an Argentinian settler/inf pair in Spain that Tusker bombarded but evidently forgot to attack (1-0).
We do a little more bombardment of enemies at sea with our artillery.
We assign a lot of civil engineers.
We found Tintin, Snowy, and Haddock on the African coast facing Madagascar, so that we can rush ships there immediately. In the process we abandon Amatikulu, though for the most part we'll try to bring the big Zulu cities out of resistance with huge stacks of infantry.
One of our galleons repels the attack of an Egyptian frigate on the open ocean (2-0).
We bring Izipezi and Zunguin out of resistance in the former Zulu lands.
1515 (1): We found four cities in extreme eastern Siberia, grabbing as much land as possible and gaining good locations to rush ships for the eventual Siberia-Alaska invasion.
We found two cities on the French and Dutch coasts facing Britain, again so that we can rush ships as needed.
We found three towns in western Siberia, one in Scandinavia, and three in Africa to fill gaps in our position.
The Zulus have re-founded Amatikulu on Madagascar.
We lumberjack up three galleons facing the northern island where Egypt holds Volodga, and about fifteen temples in the tundra generally.
We bring Tugela and Mpondo out of resistance.
1520 (2): We found two more towns in eastern Siberia, where the Persians are auto-razing minor Sioux cities for us.
We found two cities in Spain to claim land, and two in central Africa for the same purpose.
We continue lumberjacking operations in the tundra, now oriented towards galleons for the amphibious hop to Alaska (once upgraded) as well as temples.
We send SciMeth to Brazil to renew our supply of gems, also picking up 11 gpt, 1 gold, and their WM.
We lumberjack up some galleons in our ports on the English Channelfull lumberjacking, in that here we plant the forests before cutting them down.
We land forces next to the two island cities off West Africa, Egyptian Nimrud and Argentinian Kukiya, though the buildups may be slow and we wont necessarily attack next turn.
We land sixteen units next to Volodga on Egypts Siberian island.
I thought our one infantry army had been kept galleon-mobile with three units because it has only 12 HP, and that it could anchor our landing on Madagascar, but now I find it holds four unitstwo are just conscripts. What happened there?
So, we land sixteen units not covered by an army next to New Hlobane on Madagascar.
The Americans and the Sioux make peace. Too badthat was a useful war.
We bring Ulundi and Isandhlwana out of resistance.
Umfolozi flips on us. It was empty.
We complete a university and two libraries, and cut a turn off our time to Combustion (now six turns).
1525 (3): We re-take and raze Umfolozi, held by one Impi (3-0). We claim three workers.
