I have to admit, looking at the save, Im a bit confused as to what our goal is here. We have way too many useless scattered little towns if we want a conquest, and the towns are building the wrong things if we want dom.
Personally, I thought conquest is the goal, and as such I will work towards that. I change a lot of builds in the south to libs for border expansions, and hire as many taxmen as I can, netting about 85gpt. Change some of the builds up north too, but nowhere near as many. Sorry for the wholesale changes, its generally bad form, but I had to.
Get all the knights and boats headed for the launch spot. Ill delay them long enough to get cavs, then we will embark. Will leave most of the useless towns undefended. If someone is going to take a town before we can defend it, just abandon the thing. Id rather no one got a town like that.
810 AD (1) SoZ produces our first, and only AC.
820 AD (2) Dutch have a dinghy near our island. No troops have been dropped off, but I figure they have a settler pair on board.
830 AD (3) Metallurgy in, start full bore on Mil Trad.
840 AD (4) Notice a Hittite galley sailing around, didnt realize they werent dead yet. Whip up a caravel to try and sink them.
IT The stupid Dutch drop off a settler pair.
850 AD (5) Caravel attacking the Hittites, dies after dealing 2 damage, rush another one.
860 AD (6) Lose another stinking caravel to the Hittite galley, doing no damage this time. So I rush a third.
870 AD (7) Cavs in, research off. I pay the hefty sum of 1,020g to upg 34 knights.
880 AD (8) Finally destroy the Hittite galley, only to discover they have a tundra town far to the north. So I make peace to get a happiness boost for now.
890 AD (9) Land our invasion force near Den Helder. Raze the Dutch foothold city on our island.
Recap: Im gonna stop here. I took this many turns because there wasnt much to do to except prepare. The workers are generally just kinda doing whatever, I didn't feel like putting the thought into what they actually *should* be doing.

Any cavs that are on a go to order are heading for Edo, any caravels will be going to New Chichen Itza. There is plenty of money to rush whatever you feel like rushing. Try to leader farm a bit to get a few armies in the field. Have fun, theyll never know what hit them.
