Ill do 6 turns since SW only did 9.
Pre-turn Change preferences first. Since well have to put up with Russia for another half of an age, I start starving cities with Russian citizens. Ive decided we have too much money. Rush temples in Hannover, Yakutsk and Yekaterinburg. Rush barracks in Manchester (it still has a warrior). Change New Canterbury from Wealth to Harbor, and rush it. Rush harbor in The Mumbles. Rush Musket in Moscow. Rush cav in Novgorod (kind of worried with all the Chinese galleys around). Coventry needs a taxman to keep from rioting, so change production to temple.
Sign peace with Russia and get Krasnoyarsk, World and Territory map, and 7 gold.
Declare on Osman (but make sure to move that galley in his territory out first). Capture 2 workers on Osmans west coast.
Attack on Iznik: Nelsons Army kills the first spear with no loss of hp. Order our newly named 2nd Cavalry Army (what I always use to name Armies) to attack and capture the city, again with no loss. 2 resistors
IBT Mao orders us to leave his territory, and captures a Russian worker outside of Krasnoyarsk (he had 2 Riders just outside the city, so he probably would have captured it if we didnt make peace).
We are now in the Industrial Age.
Newcastle also riots. Look through cities and stop Orleans from rioting (and switch it to a market) as well as Hastings.
Resistance in Iznik ends.
1150 (1) ToG -> Steam Power (railroads will help a lot at home, since Im afraid of an invasion there, especially since just about none of our cities have defenders). Increase Science to 90% to get SP in 4.
Moscow musket->cav. Philly riots (whoops, mustve missed that one
). Novgorod cav->musket. Canterbury cav->barracks (we have to stop making reg units). Karachi worker->cannon. Yekaterinburg temple->cav. Yakutsk temple-musket. Leeds worker->cannon. Hannover temple->musket. Manchester barracks->aque. Leicester worker->worker. The Mumbles harbor->temple. New Canterbury harbor->wealth (1-tile island).
FINALLY I can start the actual turn.
Attack on Uskudar: Elite cav attacks, loses 1hp. 2nd Elite attacks, loses no hp, and captures the city. 3 resistors. 1 more elite captures worker.
Attack on Bursa: Vet cav attacks, loses 1 hp. 2nd vet loses 2 hp. 3rd vet loses 1 hp, and only a Horse is showing. 4th vet kills the horse with no loss, captures the city and a settler.
Use an elite cav left over from the battle for Uskudar to attack a spear outside Bursa and after losing 4 hpwe get a Leader named Cornwallis! The 3rd Cav army is made.
Kill various units around the cities, and march the other two armies towards Istanbul.
Switch York from Mil. Acad. to Newtons, also due in 14 turns.
Rush temples in Coventry and Hastings. Rush spear in New London. Rush market in Orleans. Switch Washington from Granary to Courthouse.
IBT A reg cav is killed by a longbow. 2 resistors quelled in Bursa. Philly and Newcastle stop rioting. Resistance in Uskudar ends.
1160 (2) New York bank->barracks. Orleans market->worker. Boston settler->man o war. Hastings temple->cathedral (prebuild for hospital). Calcutta court->market. Coventry temple->cathedral (hospital). Rouen settler->cannon. New London spear->harbor. New Warwick worker->worker.
Battle for Istanbul: We have 3 armies (11/17, 9/11, 10/13 health) and 5 full health vet cavs outside Istanbul. It is going down. 3rd Army attacks, is attacked by a treb that misses, and wins with no loss. Nelsons Army attacks, is shot at and missed by a longbow, and wins losing 3 hp. 2nd Army attacks, loses 1 hp. Nelsons Army attacks again, loses 1 hp. Use a vet cav, and win with no loss. A longbow showing now. Attack with the 3rd Army, and win with no loss. A horse showing now. Attack with Nelsons Army, lose no hp, and capture a worker, 2 settlers, and a treb. 8 resistors.
New Liverpool founded NW of Macao -> temple.
IBT - 5 resistors quelled in Istanbul. Resistance in Bursa ends.
1170 (3) Jaipur cav->harbor (doesnt have a barracks
add that to queuefirst time Ive ever used that). Reading settler->worker. Rush market in Leipzig.
I have sent a galleon with a settler up north to explore for possible land. I called it the Santa Maria.
Attack on Izmit (new capital): If we capture this city, we will get some silks, helping greatly with happiness. 3rd Army attacks, loses 2 hp. Attack again and
we get the city
that was quick
5 resistors.
The Ottomans have just one city left: Edrine.
IBT Resistances in Istanbul and Izmit end.
1180 (4) Leipzig market->cav. Philly market->library. Brighton barracks->musket. Portsmouth worker->worker.
Attack on Edrine: Nelsons Army attacks, is hit by a treb, and loses 3 hp. Attack again and lose 1 hp. Attack with vet cav, lose 1 hp. Another vet cav loses no hp. 3rd vet retreats doing no damage. 4th vet attacks, takes 1 hp, and eliminates the Ottomans.
Settlers started in all Ottoman cities, but should be changed if we decide to go for a Conquest victory. Steam Power due next turn.
IBT Yekaterinburg deposes!!!
1190 (5) Steam Power->Medicine due in 4 @ 80%. Atlanta worker->Man o War. Warwick cav->uni. Oxford cannon->harbor. Rush temples in New Liverpool, New Coventry and Yaroslavl.
Found New Dover SE of Frankfurt.
1200 (6) New York barracks->cav. Yaroslavl temple->musket. Canterbury barracks->uni. Jaipur harbor->barracks. New Coventry temple->market. New Liverpool temple->harbor. Any of these can be changed.
New Brighton founded between Uskudar and Bursa -> worker.
For the next person: I have the 3rd Cav Army in Hamburg, Nelsons Army in Edrine, and the 2nd in Izmit still. The MDI Army is NW of Nuremburg along with 3 Cavs. In other words: we are not yet ready for the war with China.
The settlers being built in Ottoman cities can all be changed, but I was planning on filling in the holes with them. We probably already have too many settlers, though. Therere 3 settlers S of Uskudar, 1 ready to be built if you like the spot (I dont, but the areas mountainous).
You can continue exploring the north if you want, but I doubt well find anymore land up there.
Also, start building those railroads.
