The American Cowboy: Rounding up the First Posse
GW looked across the lands and decided there was much for the American people to do, or maybe to take. Whatever the case, Amercian expansion MUST occur.
HE started by deciding on the next Social Policy, tought to Americans mostly on the backs of the Bucharest City State generosity
Called Oligarchy, it gives America a +33% defensive bonus in it's own borders, always a good thing. Many called for Liberty or Honor, but GW prefers to exhaust the Tradition tree first. Afterall, Taking everyone elses land is simply an American Tradition, right??
As the Settler heads out to found New York a workboat is prepped in Washington to quickly feed the new city. THis did not work out as favorably as there was a BArbarian ship at the southern tip of the land.
Also, the Americans forgoe intellectually or cultural enlightenment and research archery and horsebackriding for some good old fashioned American violence.
New York was founded on a hill
And the New citizans praised the wisdom of earning that free defense ability. When GW told then that they were dolts and this is a new game, they were humbled and went about building a monument to their great leader. Meanwhile our lone leader went to work on the horses and the City of Washington built an archer.
To avoid any unpleasentless to our Bucharest Allies (at least before we can) GW pledged a vow of military support.
Bucharest was so happy that they fueled further AMercian culture to the next Social Policy
Monarchy is adopted and GW now becomes King George, getting a further 50% bonus to buying tiles.
Soon enough, Horseback riding was discovered
And the technologies of Trapping, Bronze Working were researched next.
Before King George starts ripping apart the world he sits down with his Military advisor (while having some special time for the lady councilors!!!) to see what is out there
So Songhai is the same and Arabia is equal. Well, a Spear and a pair of warriors don't get you far these days.
To pump up the excess happiness to trigger of an early Golden Age, we managed to swing this deal
Realeasing
Thus archers and mounted units are built. The only problem is we built a Chariot and Horse Archer which used up the TWO horses we had! Ah well, we added a few extra archers/warriors.
Askia came buy to work on plans to overthrow the Arabias
And we took the secret agreement.
Once again another Social Policy was offered and
We adopted Legalism and it's reduced Unhappiness in the capital.
You can note that the Piety Social Branch has been unlocked. GW is not interested in religious principals and rejects them for the entire game.
America was established a healthy treasury which they use
To buy an archer. Once again the American people are furious at promised funds diverted from the needs of the people towards excess military productions. Once again King George laughs behind their backs and makes another pretty speech.
At this point our modest army is sent off towards MEdina
2 Spears, 2 warriors, 2 archers, a chariot and a Horseman. Our Military Advisor friend now says Arabia has no military and that Songhai's is pathetic but we should not make fun of them too much.
We saved here just after the Golden Age finished (which sped along the military buildup) and as we started researching Iron working.
The cities of Washington
And New York
So King George put's aside his crown, puts on a good black cowboy hat, moutns his horse to lead the proud American Horse Archery Unit, and prepares for American expansion.
The questions is WHO do we hit first???
Arabia is closer and has more cities while Songhai is further away but tends to be stronger. Taking down Askia with a Great General in tow will certainly help.
