Ok, here we go:
Preturn: Change settler to rax. We need vet spears to survive, the Babs will come
with Bowmen soon.
Thinking of MLD002, this is hopefully not "Revenge of the Babs"
IT: The warrior in the east loses agaisnt our warrior, 2 HP left.
There are 3 Bab warriors in the southern mountains.
3000: I try to block them a little with our southern warrior in the rough terrain,
every turn I can delay them is a turn more to build up our defense.
IT: The 3 Bab warriors advance towards Istanbul.
2950: Istanbul grows, lux to 10%.
I move the warriors on a hile tile and behind the river, on forest.
IT: The Babs move on the open ground.
2900: I block them with our warriors:
IT: And the result of the battle: they attack our warrior,
across the river and on forest. First we get veteran, then elite!
A Barb conscript shows up NW.
2850: rax completed, spear started.
IT: The next Barb conscript shows up NW
2800: I send one warrior on the hills NW, two guard Istanbul and
the elite is heading south on th mountain.
IT: The Barb impales himself on our hill-warrior, the other moves towards Istanbul.
2750: Istanbul grows to size 4, spear next turn.
IT: And finally the second Barb commits suicide at Istanbul.
I like the 'tactical' defenses
Meanwhile, a new Bab warrior shows up south.
2670: Vet spear completed, settler started.
2630: -
IT: Another Barb conscript shows up in the west.
2610: I move our west-warrior one tile.
IT: The Barb approaches our warrior
2550: I try to block him, hoping he will attack at the hill.
Only 10 turns this time
Notes: We havn't met anyone else but with all the Barbs and the Babs south
even a single warrior could have been the difference between win or loss.
On the other hand we need contacts soon. The settler will complete in 2,
now we have to talk about sites.
Important: Our elite warrior, fortified south should withdraw
if seriouly threatened, we can use him for leader-fishing.
Here is the pic, all red circles are sites were units arrive from Istanbul in one turn without beeing exposed.
And the save, good luck we will need it.
SAVE 2550BC
, another Bowman dies on Spear.
