1400 AD
I agree with Microbe that our military is pathetic. I think the frigates are to try and starve coastal cities, but right know I want defenders. I cancel the frigates to build infantry.
In addition, we are still way short of workers. I have found several cities working unimproved tiles.
We already have *11* unused settlers, but we are building more. All the settlers in the world are worthless without escorts. I swap 4 to workers, and plan limit additional ones until the escort pool is larger.
1405 AD
It only takes 2 tries:
Once again I prove you never want to upgrade obsolete elite units.
New Dabrum is formed to push borders against Aarhus.
Well I expected the city to be tougher then one try:
It took 4 tries, but add another one to the list:
This greatly simplifies our lines. The only problem is the obvious targets are gone.
Ur 2 and Sumer 2 are formed. With getting rid of those behind the nuisance cities I have freed up some infantry.
1410 AD
Lagash 2 is formed.
I can't get Odense any smaller then size 2. I am going to start the propaganda campaign anyhow. I give up this turn after 12 failed attempts.
1415 AD
Kish 2 is formed near Delhi.
By opening the gap one of the defenders have left Odense to be killed. I am going to try again. On the very first try:
1425 AD
Looks like we get another army.
1435 AD
Umma 2 and Bad-tibira 2 are formed to further squeeze the Vikings.
1440 AD
We have yet another army.
Why is it in a lower war game I get more leaders?
Scandinavia is in anarchy! I take a few swipes at Aarhus, but no luck.
1445 AD
Agade 2 is formed.
(IT) Scandinavia and India sign a peace treaty. I never even saw any sign of them fighting.
1450 AD
Aarhus has dropped to size 1. The number of defenders is still a bit high, but I don't think it will get any better then this. I am surprised that it only took 4 tries.
Erech 2, Isin 2, Akshak 2, and Zabalam 2 are formed.
====================
Summary:
Keep an eye on Oslo. I removed all the nearby troops now that it starved to size 1. I hope this will get some of the excess defenders to leave.
Now that the water tiles are blocked I hope Stockholm will drop to size 1 soon.
We are now at 60% land and 66% population. I would be shocked if I see this game again.
