Treb hits regular Pike, reveals 2nd regular Pike
Treb hits regular Pike, no more defenders
Treb red-lines regular Pike
Elite LongBow kills 2hp Pike, takes 1HP damage

Burn baby burn. 2 workers.

880(4) - Stack closes in on Nasca. Reg Pikeman can be seen.

Incan counter on SOD near Huamanga. Elite Knight red-lined and retreats, Incan LongBow takes 2hp damage. Incan counter on lone musket heading to front sucessfull. Tula Market->Temple. Bonampak Musket->musket. Germans building JS Bach, we're 6 away. Civil disorder in 1/2 dozen cities because of temporary loss of Furs. Crap, forgot that would happen.
890 (5) - Found city of "Draw Weight" near former location of Arequipa . Start building Temple. MI Attacks LongBow to move SOD adjacent to Huamanga, promoted to Elite, no damage. Found city of "Take Out" near former location of Machu Pichu, Furs hooked up again so the people are happy, start building Temple. Teach Incan LongBow near Take Out exactly how my sword feels when I jam it up their ass. No damage to Crusader. Battle of Nasca :
Treb does 1HP to Reg Pike, no other defenders seen
Treb misses
Treb Red-lines Reg Pike, Reg Spear seen
MI kills Spear, 1HP Damage
MI kills 1HP Pike, red-lined in process
Burn baby Burn, 2 workers
Move Elite Knight into Stack adjacent to Huaman
IBT - Counters -> None. Tikal Settler->Temple. Las Vegas Bank ->Knight.
900 (6) - Chemistry in 1 turn, science down to 50. Battle of Huamanga :
Treb misses Reg Pike
Treb hits Reg Pike, 2nd Reg Pike shown
Treb hits Reg Pike, 3rd Reg Pike shown
Elite Knight red-lines Reg Pike, Knight destroyed, 2HP Pike shown
Elite MI kills 2hp pike, takes 1 HP damage
Veteran MI kills 2hp Pike, red-lined in the process
Vetern MI kills 1hp pike and exacts revenge for death of brave, courageous and honourable Knight named Okafor who died in the attack on Huamanga.
Burn baby Burn, 7 workers captured
IBT - Incan counter on brave MI that burned Huamanga. He must have been distracted from the flames of city in ruin around him, since he didn't do any damage to the attacking Knight. Okafor's brother Calhoun was a member of the MI troop killed in the spot where Huamanga once stood. Remaining soldiers from the Battle of Humanga knick-name themselves the UConns and develop a fierce battle cry and a 46 inch vertical leaping ability. Chemistry -> Metalugy, 6 turns at 70% with -15 gold.
910 (7) - Mayan UConn Trebs attempt to rain down death on Knight, but only hit once. Fierce battle cry giving advanced warning of attack thought to be the culprit and is re-worked. Remaining SOD from battle of Nasca joins up with te UConn SOD so that death can be brought quickly to the evil Incan Knight. Crusader and musketman moves into the mountain to pillage the Incan Saltpeter.
IBT - Incan Ship approaching Draw Weight/Vilcas. Cuello Temple ->Aqueduct.
920 (8) - Trebs rain fire on Incan Knight, red-line it and allow Mayan MI to slowly rip apart Mayan Knight responsible for the death of Calhoun. There is much joy in great city of CI at the news of the Knight's slow demise. Saltpeter pillaged.
IBT - Calakmul Market->Bank. Incan ship runs away. Hurry Hard Libary -> Barracks
930 (9) Okafor Founded near burned city of Nasca, start building Temple. Rush Temple in Take Out, we might get the Saltpeter in our borders when we expand, but I don't think so.
IBT - Take Out Temple->MarketPlace. Spotted German Settler moving towards "our" free land. Lazapa Market->Library. Las Vegas Knight ->Palace (pre-build for something, welcome to change).
940 (10) - Build a wall of Workers to stop German Settler from invading the land that rightfully belongs to the UConn warriors of the Mayan tribe. Discovered the Incan city of Juli. I was going to leave the decision of making peace up to the next person, but the settler I have en route to the former Huamanga location ended it's turn vulnerable to an Incan Knight attack from the capital. I went to see what we could get for peace, and they offered both Juli and Atico, so I figured it was a good deal, and made peace with the Incans to protect our settler/Take Out. The land around the burning rubble that was once Huamanga is pretty valuable IMHO, and I didn't want to lose the only settler we have (or have in production) and risk losing the land.
Next Steps : I would consider disbanding Atico and Juli. It'll cost too much to put a defender there, and they're both pretty useless, which is why we got them. Make sure that damn German settler SE of Okafor doesn't get into "our" land, and make sure that the settler just SW of Take Out makes it there first (I've left a SOD where I think the city should go).
I'm not sure who's next up, but I'll post something shortly.
