Usual pre-flight checks. We're running 40% luxuries almost exclusively for Graz, but since this is our Great Library prebuild, there's not a lot I can do. Hopefully the spices will come online during my turns.
IBT
The Iroquois complete the Pyramids in Salamanca.
(1) 730BC
A warrior came out of Tikal last turn and heads towards our 4/5 elite archer. I fortify the archer to gain the last hit point before the warrior reaches him.
The Iroquois founded Akwesasne near Landeck and Bischofshofen. Check F4 and he hasn't appeared on the foreign advisor screen.
IBT
An Aztec galley is heading along our Western shore.
Maya start the Temple of Artemis. They also complete the Oracle on Chichen Itza.
(2) 710BC
Elite archer wins against Mayan warrior.
I position the new Horseman from Vienna to keep watch on that Aztec Galley, incase it tries to drop troops behind our lines.
IBT
I witness half a battle as a Javelin thrower defeats an unknown opponent. Could it be that the Mayans are at war with the Aztecs?
The Mayans land a warrior next to Bischofshofen. The Galley carrying it came from the East and I had no way of seeing it coming.
(3) 690BC
Bischofshofen is defended by a single veteran warrior (the Mayan warrior next to it is a regular), and I think the odds are better if he stays fortified in the city. I send two horsemen in the area to recapture the city next turn should it fall.
IBT
You guessed it, the Mayan warrior attacks and detroys Bischofshofen. Sometimes I hate the RNG
(4) 670BC
The horses are now outside our territory. Saltzburg is switched to settler and left as is, as micromanagement has no effect on the completion time.
Literature is due this turn, and I drop science to 20%, gaining us 12 gold.
IBT
A Javalin Thrower attacks an exploring spearman of ours, and loses.
(5) 650BC
I simply HAVE to hire a specialist in Graz, as it takes 70% luxury tax to make the city happy at size 6. I have a road to the spices prioritized though.
I have three catapults bombarding Quirigua and still I cannot take more than one hit point off the single spear there.
Still no contact with the Iroquois.
(6) 630BC
Still cannot yellowline the Quirigua Spearman. A fourth Catapult is added to the stack.
I bring our exploring Spearmen back, avoiding roads so that they cannot be attacked by Javalin Throwers.
IBT
Spices are connected to our empire.
Iroquois build a second city, Tyandenaga, right next to our borders. We will have contact next turn.
(7) 610BC
I successfully yellowline the defending Spearman at Quirigua, but this reveals a second unfortified regular Spearman. Two horsemen attack and BOTH RETREAT WITHOUT DOING ANY DAMAGE??? Then the third one DIES only inflicting one point of damage to the demonic Spearman. The fourth one DIES to the fortified yellowlined spear, only inflicting one point of damage.
I move our three remaining horsemen out of enemy territory to heal after this extremely screwed up turn.
At least the Iroquois haven't appeared on F4 yet.
(8) 590BC
In my complete and utter disgust at the RNG, I forget to adjust our cities for the Spices. I put the scientist at Graz back to work and max out shields to bring us the Great Libaray in 27 turns.
Salzburg popped it's Settler during the interturn and he goes to refound Bischofshofen (thank goodness I won't have to type that again).
(10) 550BC
Settler moves to refound the former Austrian city beginning with "B". There's a few more defenders there this time.
A second Settler is in Graz, and he should plop a city on that gold hill South of Graz and Kufstein.
What a crappy turn...

I really didn't expected a third civ this soon. This is going to get uglier that I even expected.

Small update:
(0) 550 BC
Our cities are looking rather fit for now, but I don't like the pressure Eisenherz is under. Guess we'll just have to raze Qui-whatnot.
IBT:
Aztec Archer and 2 Jags move in on Eisenherz, all regular
Aztecs start ToA and Great Wall
(1) 530 BC
Found Gmuend on old Bischofshofen. (Try to spell that one Steve)
With 2 jags and an archer ready to hit our city, and we can only kill the archer, I pull some units back to Eisenherz.
4/4 Horse vs 3/3 Archer -> 3/5 Horse
IBT:
3/3 Jag vs 4/4 Spear -> 2/4 Spear. Other jag stays put

IBT:

(3) 490 BC
Vienna: Spear->Horse
Salzburg: Spear->Walls
Found Villach on white spot.
5/5 Horse vs 2/4 Jag -> 2/5 Horse and Leader.
I'm torn between an army and FP for this leader.
4/4 Horse vd 1/3 Jag -> 2/4 Horse
Lee, your call on the leader. We need an army in the field soon, but we also need a FP to help our corruption. Krems would be a good spot for it I think. We also don't really have any units to put in the army, it would most likely be a spearman pillaging army.

Right now we need military help about all. While I would love the help of the FP for corruption, it is miilitary that we need more for the moment.
I would make it a 3 horseman army and the named elite can be the first unit. Maybe its first task can be to raze that annoying Q... city before heading out to pillage / explore.
We also need at least one army for southern defense, one army for northern offense, a leader to rush the fp, and a leader to rush the heroic epic for more leaders.
(3) 490 BC (Cont.)
We make an army in Eisenerz.
Change my mind, and set Salzburg to horse.

Army in Eisenerz is healing this turn, but can attack if needed.

I think the next leader = FP. That is effectively a courthouse in every city. We need to increase the troops coming out.
We also need to hit the point where we can sneak in some buildings soon.
===============
Is that elite warrior still around? I didn't see his attack mentioned.
===============
That is the scary moment of this turn. We are so screwed for tech that we badly need the GL to catch up.

Everything looks good. I hate to let the damaged swords get away, but I will let things heal.

330 BC (1)

The Iroquois now appear on the trade screen. We buy Code of Laws and Pottery for 271g and then declare war. Here come the Mounted Warriors. We bomb the two swords to 1 hp but don't get a shot at the archer near Eisenerz. Our elite archer takes out the archer. The elite warrior takes out a sword and the army finishes the last one.

Cat hits spear at Krems and archer finishes it off. Cats do their job at Eisenerz and the elite Warrior and elite horse follow up with kills. I notice Eisenerz doesn't have a Rax and so it is swapped to one pronto. Demonic warrior does 4 Hp of damage to our horse army. The army promotes.
(I) Three JTs in range at Eisenerz. Vienna Horse->Library, Krems Horse->FP, Kufstein Cat->Cat

(I) Troops in the mist. The Incan city of Machu Picchu finishes the Mausoleum.
170 BC (9)

Second game for Sunday evening. I hope I can complete both.
I really hope I can bring some good news during my turns. We need to get on the offensive, or at least start pillaging soon.

That is the price you pay when you avoid contact as long as we did. Early contact slows the tech pace. If you don't want the Zulu to hit Industrial while we are still trying to get Moanrchy, we had better build some ships to go find them.

But how well would we have done with just archers? At the contact time we didn't even have our horses connected.
As for contact the Zulu we will have to agree to disagree. It sounds like a stalemate with 3 civs. I am in no rush to find additional civs. I am not hearing the foward progress we need.

I have three cities building infrastructure and 1 city build a settler with a built settler on the way to drop another city. We go more than twenty turns without losing a single unit verses massive loses by the other three civs and we are making no progress?

We would have done quite well with them. They are doing quite well right now. They may not have the movement that the horse has so you have to leave the bottom guy on the stack if you don't want to risk the last attacker. They give bombard in defense. Great earlier game units.LKendter said:

150 BC (Pre-turn)
I agree we want Heroic Epic. However, with Graz having high commerce I want a library in that city.
I sent the army forward for recon, and find another 5 Aztec units on the way. I have no choice but to keep the army at home.
We really need to find where the iron is.
I seen another border color. The Inca are very close. Between this and the walls in the Iroquois towns it is clear the north is the way to expand.
I can't justify 30% luxuries for just 3 citizens. I swap to scientist, and get Polytheism a turn early with no money lost. We need to catch up the severe tech deficit.
(IT) Graz can complete the FP is just 20 turns. A further away FP does help, but any FP will reduce our horrid corruption.
I have no idea what the Aztecs are up to. There movement path almost implies a war with either the Maya or Iroquois.
130 BC
I kill 1 archer, and 1 spearman. Our elite had no luck. Our army is shadowing that nasty Aztec stack.
110 BC
No action as we wait to see the direction of the Aztec stack. There are no other units of significance are in range. That will change next turn.
90 BC
Salzburg is the new Aztec target.
I kill 1 archer, 1 spearman and 3 swordsmen. Our elite had no luck.
(IT) I don't know why, but all AI have suddenly become obsessed with Salzburg.
70 BC
I kill 1 archer, 1 JT, 3 spearmen, and 6 swordsmen at no cost!
I promote a horse to elite, and got away with a warrior attacking a badly injured sword. You have to love those catapults.
The Aztec SoD is fried.
(IT) We kill a JT in on defense.
We then see the BAD news from the Aztecs. The first MDI has arrived.
50 BC
I kill 2 archers, and 1 JT. I promote TWO horsemen to elite.
(IT) We almost lose one of the horse armies, as the Aztec MDI attacked it. We need stronger units to create a pillaging army with.
I suffer my first lost with a spearman.
30 BC
I kill 2 archers, 1 swordsman, and 1 JT. That is 4 more elite victories without an army.
10 BC
I kill 3 JT, and 1 spearman. My luck with elites sucks as another victory fails to produce a leader. The new Maya town of Lazapa is auto-razed
Klagenfurt is formed on the hills near Tikal. The next step is to raze Tikal.
10 AD
I kill 2 spearmen, and 2 JT. I lost 1 horseman. Two more tries with elite units are simply wins. I promote yet another unit to elite.
Weiz is formed.
(IT) We lose 1 spearman on defense, but kill 1 JT.
30 AD
The Aztecs again coming back as several MDI are approaching around Tikal. Tikal is razed and we get $1 along with a worker
I kill 3 archers, 2 MDI, 1 JT and 1 warrior.
Well it is about time.
(IT) No AI attacks, but more Aztec MDI coming our way.
50 AD
I kill 2 warriors, 2 archers and 2 MDI. I am back to simply winning with elite units. Of course, I do promote yet another horseman.
Summary:
Our next leader target should be the pentagon. We would use that extra boast for the armies. I would like to start pillaging, but we need better defensive units for that army.
We need to be very careful fighting the Iroquois to not contact the Maya by mistake. We have forward progress up north, and I don't want to lose it.

The below is the current war front. We have an Aztec city getting in range. The red dot is where the settler is heading.
I agree we want Heroic Epic. However, with Graz having high commerce I want a library in that city.
I sent the army forward for recon, and find another 5 Aztec units on the way. I have no choice but to keep the army at home.
We really need to find where the iron is.
I seen another border color. The Inca are very close. Between this and the walls in the Iroquois towns it is clear the north is the way to expand.I can't justify 30% luxuries for just 3 citizens. I swap to scientist, and get Polytheism a turn early with no money lost. We need to catch up the severe tech deficit.
(IT) Graz can complete the FP is just 20 turns. A further away FP does help, but any FP will reduce our horrid corruption.
I have no idea what the Aztecs are up to. There movement path almost implies a war with either the Maya or Iroquois. 130 BC
I kill 1 archer, and 1 spearman. Our elite had no luck. Our army is shadowing that nasty Aztec stack.
110 BC
No action as we wait to see the direction of the Aztec stack. There are no other units of significance are in range. That will change next turn.
90 BC
Salzburg is the new Aztec target.
I kill 1 archer, 1 spearman and 3 swordsmen. Our elite had no luck.
(IT) I don't know why, but all AI have suddenly become obsessed with Salzburg.
70 BC
I kill 1 archer, 1 JT, 3 spearmen, and 6 swordsmen at no cost!
I promote a horse to elite, and got away with a warrior attacking a badly injured sword. You have to love those catapults.
The Aztec SoD is fried.
(IT) We kill a JT in on defense.
We then see the BAD news from the Aztecs. The first MDI has arrived.
50 BC
I kill 2 archers, and 1 JT. I promote TWO horsemen to elite.
(IT) We almost lose one of the horse armies, as the Aztec MDI attacked it. We need stronger units to create a pillaging army with.
I suffer my first lost with a spearman.
30 BC
I kill 2 archers, 1 swordsman, and 1 JT. That is 4 more elite victories without an army.

Not getting a response from the download server. I'll try again a little later, otherwise it's going to be tomorrow before I can play.

I think the only way to slow the tech pace is to get all of the civs at war. Otherwise we are going to be hopelessly behind.

What I have learned from the last AW game is that pillaging helps big time. To really slow the tech pace we need to pillage some civs to death. If we get the pentagon we might be able to go pillaging with a spearman army with a couple of horses hiding underneath.
Getting the AIs to fight each other really slows the tech pace. This denies the other Civs luxuries and the ability to trade tech.
The only thing fighting additional civs does from us to discourage additional buildings. They will still trade luxuries and techs with each other. The one advantage we get is researching at a lower cost.
We are finally making offensive progress. Fighting another civ will put us back on the defensive.
