I meant the other tribes, not the baa-baas.

I have quit making settlers. Just a bunch of axemen to capture the barbarian cities. Fortunately, they put them in pretty good locations!

Now hemmed in by Rome.
A few catapults to take the barbarian city on the coast to the west, then south...
We are in awe of the Chinese research machine...

It's just a few cottages that have matured. I'm sure it will slow down soon.

Time to start reading the rules.
London's scientists spawn a Great Prophet.
Never had one before, so time to find out what they're capable of....

A great prophet is one of the most important great leaders if you founded a religion. That is the great leader that is needed to build the (shrine or whatever you want to call it) for your religion. As soon as you build that, you get 1 gold for each city that has your religion in it.

A convenient time to slip into Anarchy, awaiting Bureacracy....for all the desired research paths appear blocked.
The barbarian town on our western coast will awake to find a Roman archer and chariot outside it.
Meanwhile, the English loiter quietly in the background with 5 catapults, two swordsmen, two axemen, and a longbowman.
Horse Archers are deployed to our eastern border with the shrill and increasingly hysterical Isabella.
Our southern towns complete walls against the Romans, never bereft of a casus belli.
It would appear that the only way to attempt to keep pace with the mighty Chinese
is to start a campaign of vicious pillage and conquest against the Romans.
Or perhaps the Egyptians might be persuaded into a swift two pronged partition of Spanish territory?

Hah, it was only 4 catapults.
And they only managed to reduce the city defences, not eliminate it...
..so we bide our time, and meanwhile start researching Nationalism.
Poor Julius, his chariot is nowhere to be seen.

We are thankful for our general's patience.
The final elimination of the additional city defences is, we are certain, the reason we retain one extremely sick, but now very experienced city raider.
Vulgar Bulgar is no more a barbarian towm, and yields much plunder.
When the peasants can be lured from their sullen retreats, it shall be the jewel on our west coast.

The Chinese sit by quietly and see no wars except for the elimination of several barbarian cities. We hope that Egypt will be able to destroy the barbarian city that our axeman died trying to destroy. Unfortunately, we were not able to bring reinforcements to this city like we did the last time.

I forgot to mention..
the opportunistic Romans sail a galley around the coastline, and are about to build a town behind my circle of culture, in a land barren apart from a few pigs and spices, and right next to London.
They really must be taught that such impudence does not pay.

Mmmm, the Romans choose to build their town right against my borders,
which are due to expand in a few turns.
A Roman axeman appears in another border town.

More Roman axemen appear, and now a Horse Archer.
Looks like Spain may have to wait.

We enter Spanish lands.
The impertinent hovel built on our border is pillaged, and an itinerant archer waylaid.
A non-trivial force, fresh from barbarian conquest, fetches up outside a sizeable Roman town.
We wonder how many will still be with us in the light of morning.

I wonder why Rome hates you so much. And for that matter Spain. But I have noticed Spain is ornery this game. She finally opened borders with me after many years of telling me no. She won't trade any resources with me. Ya, she deserves to die.

Oh God,
I really should give up playing in the early hours if I cannot cope with it....
Apologies & Correction:
I entered Roman lands.
I have not attacked Spain.
===
Rome and I were trading resources and wre getting along just fine.
The combination of religion, and their building 3 or 4 cities whose borders expanded into contact with mine, did for it.

Catapults grind away, and a Roman town is razed along with its axeman and archer defence? Where did their horse archer go?
An archer is killed in open country, and we sit back to recover.
The loot pays for an archer upgrade..
