Preturn: Bump science rate so that communism will be finished in 3 turns. Then we will go for Steam Power and Industrialization so we can build our production capabilites. Production in size 12 cities, Ur, Babylon and Ellipi changed to hospitals so they can grow. Production in all cities on the Russian continent changed to temples. Establish embassy with last civ, Greece. They are building the Oracle in Athens, 4 turns away. Do they not realize that the Oracle is already obsolete? They have no other improvements in the city. They have one iron, one horse and 6 silks. We have a huge tech lead but I decide against selling any as we are doing fine financially. Hammurabitown changed from university to marketplace which will help with happiness as well as financially. Samarra production changed from courthouse to marketplace, the city has little corruption. Munith changed from colusseum to rifleman, the city is stuck in population and all are happy yet we need some defensive units in the former Russian cities. Akkad production changed from university to cathedral to help with happiness. Eridu production changed from courthouse to harbor, the city will run out of growth soon otherwise. Kevinicus production changed from library, so much corruption that it won't do much good, to cathedral to help with happiness. Upgrade 6 musketmen to riflemen for 120 gold.
(1) 1450AD-Germans have started JS Bach's. Rush temple in Riga. Attack Moscow, kill one Russian spearman, we have no loses. Unload 4 cavalry on Russian continent move them south towards the front line.
(2) 1455AD-Riga finishes temple, starts harbor. Temples rushed in other two former Russian cities. Fresh cavalry moved to just outside Moscow, injured cavalry retreat to Heidelburg to heal up.
(3) 1460AD-Research of Communism completed, start Steam Power, 6 turns away. Zimbabwe completes cathedral, starts rifleman. Munith completes rifleman, starts another. Tblisi completes temple, starts cathedral. Heidelburg completes temple, starts barracks. Cavalry take Moscow, no loses on our side.
(4) 1465AD-Hammurabitown completes marketplace, starts granary. The Greeks begin building JS Bach's. Athens completed the obsolete Oracle, good for them. Move troops towards Minsk, there are incense there which will help with happiness.
(5) 1470AD-The English, French and Chinese are building JS Bach's. Take Minsk, no loses to us, start temple. Rush temple in Moscow, when our culture borders expand we will have the incense in our borders.
(6) 1475AD-Moscow completes temple, starts cathedral. Rush temple in Minsk.
(7) 1480AD-Germany and Russia sign a military alliance against us. We lose our supply of furs when Germany declares war on us. Minsk completes temple, starts cathedral. Rush harbor in Riga as we lost our shipping to the other continent when Germany declared war. Need to trade for some luxuries to replace the furs that we lost. Greece is way behind in techs so I trade Chemistry, Banking, Ivory, Dyes and 1 gpt for silks. I decide we need to distract the Germans and Russians. For a military alliance against both Russia and Germany I give England ivory and economics and France gems, economics and 10 gpt. England and France both declare war on Germany and Russia.
(8) 1485AD-Riga completes harbor, starts aqueduct. Our palace is expanded. Take St Petersburg and Sverdlovsk from Russia with no loses to us. Both cities start temples.
(9) 1490AD-Research of Steam Power is completed, start Industrialization. Babylon completes hospital, starts bank. We need five banks so we can build Wall Street and start earning interest. Zimbabwe completes rifleman, starts hospital. Eridu completes harbor, starts courthouse. We have a source of coal so workers start building rails.
(10) 1495AD-Rush temples in both Sverdlovsk and St Petersburg.
(11) 1500AD-Munith completes rifleman, starts another. St Petersburg and Sverdlovsk complete temples and start cathedrals. We now have incense within our borders. I drop the entertainment tax to zero.
(12) 1505AD-Ur completes hospital, starts rifleman. Ashur completes marketplace, starts harbor to help growth.
(13) 1510AD-more rail building.
(14) 1515AD-Ulundi completes marketplace,starts courthouse. Samarra completes marketplace, starts granary. Industrialization will be discovered next turn, lower science rate to maximize income on this last turn.
(15) 1520AD-Finish research of Industrialization, start Electricity. Our palace is expanded again.
(16) 1525AD-Ellipi completes hospital, starts factory. Production in Babylon, Zimbabwe, Uruk and Munith switched to factory.
(17) 1530AD-more rail building. Continuing to upgrade defensive units on our main continent.
(18) 1535AD-more rails.
(19) 1540AD-China and France sign military alliance against Russia. China declares war on Russia. Hammurabitown completes granary, starts university.
(20) 1545AD-Ur completes rifleman, starts factory.
Electricy will be completed next turn. I have stopped fighting with Russia due to our lack of troops. We are getting spread thin and I didn't want to take cities just to lose them back quickly. Zimbabwe and Babylon will complete factories next turn. Zimbabwe needs a hospital and Babylon can start building rifleman to ship over to the other continent. Many of the cities over there are defended with cavalry and the rifleman will free those up for offense.
We should also start building another wonder soon. Universal Sufferage and Newton's are both available to us both of which are good wonders. We also need to build some more banks so we can build Wall Street.
Our rail network is coming along well. I concentrated on getting our cities connected with some extra rails laid around our main production cities to help with shield production.
There are two elite cavalry in St Petersburg, hopefully we can get a great leader from one of them as soon as the next leader feels we have enough units to start fighting again. Smolensk, north of St Petersburg has some furs that would be helpful for happiness. We are still at war with both Germany and Russia which both surround our cities on that continent.
We have a significant tech lead and a huge culture lead.
Good luck to the next leader.
