350AD(0) Not much has changed since Grimjacks last reign some 300 years ago. ONly thing is that we have
gone on the offensive, and Koreans have felt the might of Chinese ancients.
IBT: People rejoice in Grimjacks return so much, they build a wing for him on th efar left of the palace.
360AD(1): Move horses into position by Seoul, and pillage a korean improvement. NO sense in not pillaging when
I have the moves to do it, since we would never be able to use the improvements.
We are up theology on Carthage, but all they can offer is 17 gold and world map. They will not learn this.
IBT: Watch greeks occupy iron hill for arabs. Horses ready, more ordered. Jungle by Shanghai cleared, reveals
ordinary grass.
370AD(2): Horse vs pike, horse redlines but wins
Horse vs spear Wins without damage
Horse vs spear wins without damage,
WHopping with glee, our proud horsemen are ordered to raze and plunder. Lighthouse is no more.
Rest of our forces that didn't manage to plunder rich city shops of arch enemy Korea, pillage
lands in frustration.
IBT: Lots of Greeks are looking for the warm northlands. Are they a migratory species. Ack, greeks pillage
iron hill for arabs. This is not very good, as we used that road for our troop movement.
380AD(3): The single wounded horse gets to escort our two new workers back to our sprawl.
Ack, Pyongyang has grown to size 7. That cannot be good. Think I will need the two fullbacks for this
assault.
Sell our world map to the AIs, so they will not think we have forgotten them. This nets us a whole gc.
In spite of losses, Korea is still a Republic. Wonder how they deal with war wearines.
IBT: A Korean Maceman makes a sortie out of Wonsan, but impales himself on the spears of our scouting horseman
on a hill. Our horse gets one hit and a promotion.
390AD(4): I join the two German workers to Shanghai, and wonder above wonders, we reach 15 spt.
IBT: Arabs attack with a redlined longbow against a greek regular maceman, and wins with a promotion. RNG is
really really weird tonight.
400AD(5) In what will become known as 'The slaughter of PyongYang" we lose both our macemen against the pike.
We also lose two horse, and retreat four more, before we finally defeats the last recalcitrant pikeman.
As fitting punishment, Pyongyang is razed to the ground.
As tribute, we take five workers.
Double oops, Arabia has Education. On the other hand, Greece got gunpowder. No one has Chivalry. This could be bad.
Carthage and Korea on the other hand are broke. Since Greeca and ARabia are warring, we will get one or the other of those
trechs as soon as they beg for peace. Since trhe fighting is in Arabia lands, odds are we will get Education sooner
rather than later from our Great Library. We can research Chivalry in 18 turns.
IBT: Sparta completes Sun Tzu. We hook up our second silks.
410AD(6) I sell our silks to ARabia ( Since we already have a deal with them. ) for Furs,Incense and 25 gold. This lets
us set lux taxes to zero. Our remaining horsemen in Korea is orderd to rest and recuperate before th efinal assault.
IBT: Carthaginians start Leonardo's, as do ARabs.
420AD(7) We are not quite rested yet. ONe of the wounded horsemen is sent back with our five workers.
IBT: Watch while Greece and Arabia kick the snot out of each others Medieval infantry.
430AD(8) Start to move horsemen into position outside WOnsan. Carthage still doesn't have Theology, and since they have no
money, they also will not have Gunpowder any time soon. I start to research Chivalry at a moderate cost. We will need the
riders to bloody Greeces forces.
IBT: Oooo noo, Korea lands an invasion force at our mainland. A whole horse. It is in position to pillage our own
horses though, so prudent action is required.
440AD(9): A veteran horse from Shanghai removes that problem permanently.
I switch Beijing to Medieval Infantry, in order to not waste som many shields. I think we can use a few Medievals if next leader
vetoes my decision to self research Chivalry. In my opinion, Hoplites is not very much impressed by horsemen.
IBT: Arab and Greece go mushy mushy, and declare peace. Real soon now, we will get education.
450AD(10) OUr last medieval attacker redlines before bashing in the heads of the first spear in Wonsan.
First veteran horse lose four in a row after redlining defender
Leaderfishing with our elite horse nets us nothing but a razed city. Koreans are banished from our continent.
Next turn we will get Education and Gunpowder.
Comments to next leader. SHanghai could probably use a courthouse real soon now. LIbrary in SHanghai would possibly also be good,
considering we will have to do our own research soon. I have not issued any peace with Korea. I cannot see anything they have that
we want.
Since we soon will have cleared the last jungle we can possibly use, time to road up with our workers, before
they hibernate until Hospitals if the game ever carries on that long. You might wanty to go deficit research.
It is however a few turns before we have redeployed our army.
Good luck to next leader.
Grimjack.
