Turn 2:

Turn 3:

Washington has a stack:
Dude is walking around with a large bat. I have a bat, too, but it's not as big, and his bat seems specially designed to break mine...
Turn 4:
Even though I never saw it again, Washington's stack scared me, so..
Pink Dot Kish: Catapult -> Spearman
Gift from the Gods: Workboat -> Lighthouse
Boudica builds the Parthenon
So, she's going to get more GPP. I wonder where she keeps all those points. Must be somewhere on her person, where I wouldn't be able to just stick my hand in and take them...
Turn 5:
Hindu spread to Pink Dot Kish
*Bumps into Qin*
Me: Oh, hello, Qin! Didn't see you there!
Qin: Yes, I'm sure you didn't.
Me: Ah, well, I'm kind of in a hurry. Got to start training Longbowmen!
Qin: How did you..
Me: Bye! *runs off; when around a corner, pulls Feudalism out of pocket and looks at it, snickering*
Turn 6:
Metal Boats Nibru: Lighthouse -> Wealth
Metal Boats Nibru and Drunk Lagash grew to 6. Assigned a spy spec in Nibru. AI auto-assigned a spy spec in Lagash. It apparently knows the variant rules now.
Turn 7:
Pink Dot Kish: Spearman -> Spy
So, we have troops near Agra. That thing's been a thorn in my side. Quite literally, splitting my empire in half like that. I wasn't going to take it today, but Shaka is waving his sword around menacingly in front of Freddy's face, so while he's distracted, yes.. *charges at Freddy with an axe*
Upgraded the warrior in Marbalous to a Vulture, fearing counterattack from Freddy in that area.
So my first act in this war was so devilishly devious! I had catapults on his side of our border before I started. Some workers of his were in the same spot. So I brought my catapults back on our side of the border, hit the big red button, and set the catapults in, capturing that worker for ourselves!
Too bad that we don't really have much for workers to do right now...
Turn 8:
Just positioning our forces outside of Agra.
Turn 9:
It's as if we read eachother's minds or something! Shaka and I. Wham! We smacked Freddy at exactly the same time! He hit Calcutta. From the looks of things, he burnt the city. I took Agra, turning that thorn in my side into a valuable asset. It was an amazing victory. He really had no chance. We had a spy sitting around in Agra, so I had him start a riot in the city - the guards were so busy dealing with that, they never knew what hit 'em! It wasn't that big of a riot, though. Agra's guards were able to take down one of our catapults, but that was it. Aside from that, we suffered no losses. We took the city swiftly and decisively!
As is our custom, I immediately ordered the construction of a Ziggurat in the city.
After this pincer strike, Freddy was on his ass. With the big black man that is Shaka Zulu and myself with my axe looming over him, he didn't dare resist when I picked his pockets for some cash before I left.
Turn 10:
So, right after all of this, before he went back in to continue beating on Freddy, Shaka comes up to me - to me! - and asks for Feudalism.
This man really knows his stuff. I just saw what he can do, and he knew it. I knew it too, and didn't want to be on the recieving end of that next, so I said, "Sure, buddy! You can have it!" and got out of there as fast as I could after giving it to him. Anyways, the rest of them are kind of backwards. Almost pitiable.
Amazing Eridu: Spy -> Swordsman
Turn 11:
So, Washington came up to me, seeing how I had smacked up Freddy earlier. He's all like, "Hey! Why dont you come help me take down Boudica!
However, he wasn't carrying that big stick I saw him with earlier. So, I declined.
Pink Dot Kish: Spy -> Vulture
Qin completes the Mausoleum of Maussolos
I wonder who he buried.
Turn 12:
Huh? Oh. I didn't do anything this turn.
Turn 13:
Uruk: Aqueduct -> Longbowman
Boudica completes the Church of the Nativity
Too bad her religion is lame. Not like Hinduism!
So, earlier, I had noticed some rice on the far northern end of our borders, in Uruk Province. It was about this time that a farm was fully set up and connected to the road network. Since we now had some rice of our own, I politely ended that trade agreement wirh Washington where he was giving us rice for our fur.
Turn 14:
Amazing Eridu: Swordsman -> Longbowman
Pink Dot Kish: Vulture -> Longbowman
Just to let Shaka know that I'm still implicitly supporting his war, I went ahead and sent a man in to blow up Freddy's copper mine. He won't be bringing out any axes for a while.
Turn 15:
Of course, naturally, next thing I did was to sneak into Shaka's hut and take his Compass.
Overview:
Alright. Since we took Agra, Vijayanagara is the place to go to steal from Freddy. We have Spies in Freddy's north that need to go there.
Shaka will have Horseback Riding in a few turns. There is a spy in his closest city (Xochicalco or some crazy Nahuatl thing like that), the one north of Ainu.
