(PRE) 750AD - Kill the MDI on the mountain and see an AC prepping to hit J Fever with only 1 zerk in it. I shuffle a bit. I also short rush the 24 turn market in Stavenger.
IT - Lose 3 zerks and build 3 zerks and a market.A russian caravel comes into view.
(1) - 760AD - Take out 4 russians do some more rushing and.
IT - Russian lands 2 but do not attack at all. They also land a settler pair in the north where Egypt had some workers. France is building Copes.
(2) - 770AD - Looks like we can do some lux trading. We get a lux from France for Ivory and 11gpt. 2 elite wins come up empty. A zerk army would be sweet. A last 4/5 elite win takes the contested russian city in the russian east and we get the army and 7-8 slaves. Load him and prepare to march on Moscow to get rid of the AC threat.
IT - Lose one zerk but keep slaves. Russia plants the northern se
ttler pair and Byz starts Copes.
(3) 780AD - We place 4 zerks under the army and will march next turn. I plan to go along the coast disrupting roads and lux while sailing more zerks to get under army. Destroy the new town russia built and moved a settler into place.
IT - Russia does not do much but they are sneaking a caravel up our east coast. A 3/3 archer goes around the army.
(4) 790AD - Shuffle troops in the east. Moving army and zerks westward. Should get OMSK next turn. Settle Bjatsford in the north, set to temple to get the Egypt iron on expansion. Will wait on the archer to get an elite shot.
IT - Nada
(5) 800AD - Take Omsk and get an elite promo. Put 2 new zerks under army. Get some settlers going. No luck on the elite win
IT - Russia is hurting. No attacks. Lots of builds.
(6) 810AD - Mostly rushing and prepping the march.
IT - Expansions everywhere. Egypt has knights that are using our roads to get to Russia.
(7) 820AD - Marching the army and 8 zerks to take down Russia. Egypts knights should take care of any AC's headed our way and I hope they take the iron town. Settle another town, Hammerfest.
IT - Egypt is moving on the iron town. English building Smiths. Stockholm hit a 2nd time with disease.
(8) 830AD - Just thinking about the tech hole. After Russia is on the ropes and Moscow is gone we should take her techs and leverage our way back to even. Still marching. Workers doing the job clearing ground. Settlers moving west.
IT - Egypt takes Smolensk, the iron city. Byz complete Leos.
(9) 840AD - With Smolensk in Egypt hands we can use her roads. This gets us within just a couple turns of Moscow.
IT - Shoot! It looks like Cleo may beat us to Moscow. We build 6 zerks and just about everyone is on Smiths now.
(10) - 850AD - Positioned some galleys to pick up zerks. Moved the army contingent around the knights of Cleo. Hopefully we get Moscow, if not, take the spice town. I was planning the Zerks near Hammer for Spice too.
Shoot, I had originally attached it.
I got fixated on getting to Stronomy sooner so we could move bigger bunches of 'zerks around.

hey barbslinger, forgetting something?
England has a settler pair that seems to be heading for the salt on the south island.
