Inherited turn (1850 AD):
Turn 1 (1851 AD): Lahore constructed a Theatre, started a Library(8). Workers continued building a road to the front.
Turn 2 (1852 AD): Rome constructed an Aqueduct and is no longer starving due to ill health. The citizens began work on a Destroyer(7). Neapolis construted a Coal Plant, started a Destroyer(8). I was determined to control our southern coast so we could fish the seas again. Bombay came out of revolt and is starving badly. But no whipping was available.
The bombardment of Delhi began.
IBT: Isabella captured two Incan cities. That sort of surprised me -- I didn't realize Hatty/Huayuna were at war with Izzy/Hannibal. At the same time, I saw that Catherine was no longer along side us at war against Vicky/Asoka. There had been a very little activity by our enemies so far. I surmised I could expect that to end at any time soon.
Turn 3 (1853 AD): Cumae trained an Artillery, started an Infantry(3). Corinth constructed a Theatre, started a Destroyer(60) -- what a dirth of hammers there.
The railroad to Dacca was completed. Cumae to Dacca could now be done in less than 2 turns. I planned to attempt to complete the railroad to Bombay -- it would require construction adjacent to the Indian cultural border but I could garrison the tile with three Infantry and a Machine GUn while the construction took place.
IBT: Hatty asked us for assistance in her struggle with Spain. I refused. She remained pleased with us but not pleased enough to grant us a free tech or trade aluminum for fur with us. And I wasn't willing to sleep with her again to see if that might make her pleased enough.
An English Cavalry suicided attacking a Machine Gun in Dacca. Meanwhile, an English tank pulled up next to Bombay, likely with plans to pillage our rice paddy there.
Turn 4 (1854 AD): We popped a gold discovery at Neapolis -- 7

added to our coffers each turn. New Athens trained an Infantry, started an Artillery(5).
Johannes Vermeer, our Great Artist Arrived at Bombay.
He'll likely do very little to help there. He'll be too late to do Bengal any good. I decided to save him for Delhi where he might do us a lot more good helping that city come out of revolt quick and might be able to pick up a few culture tiles to work.
The Bombardment of Delhi was complete. Here was the situation:
That much Navy hadn't been sunk in a harbor since the Japanese snuck attacked the U.S. All we had to do was kill 5 foot-units and a tank -- piece of cake. Well, tell that to the 3 Cannon and 1 Artillery who died in the ensuing assault. But we took the city:
Looking at that cultural border, I knew the right place for our Artist would be here.
IBT: Asoka retook Delhi, killing 4 of our Infantry and 1 Artillery (one I had upgraded from a Cannon just the last turn

He lost 2 artillery in the process.
Catherine asked us for a trade of horses for a Hit Single. I accepted the trade. She can't possibly need horses now, can she?
Turn 5 (1855 AD): Bombay constructed a Theatre, started a Lighthouse(4).
Charlemagne earned his Level 8 promotion in the assault on Delhi. I was wise to return him to Bengal and not add him to the ill fated garrison at Delhi. I didn't want to give him any strength promotions to avoid him defending in an attack, so I have him Medic 1 to replace the medic who died IBT.
We didn't have enough of a force left to retake Delhi this turn. I retreated our troops back to Bengal to heal and regroup. Meanwhile, Vicky has sent in 3 tanks to pillage around
Turn 6 (1856 AD): Cumae trained an Infantry, started another(3). Sparta constructed a Coal Plant, started an Infantry(7). Chittachong completed (something), started an Infantry(7). Dacca constructed a Lighthouse, started a Library(11). Antium constructed a Forum, started a Barracks(13). Kolhapur trained an Artillery, started an Infantry(14).
IBT: The English made another landing at Etruscan on the identical tile she's landed on the previous 4 invasions. Unfortunately, she landed right on top of one of our Workers.
Catherine completed the 3 Gorges Damn. That girl's got power now.
Turn 7 (1857 AD): I drafted Infantry in Estrucan and its 3 neighboring towns to deal with the British incursion there.
I sacrificed a medic artillery at Etruscan to work over her stack of 3 Tanks, 3 Infantry and 3 Artillery. She doesn't have enough force to take the city but we don't have enough to take out her stack. So I turtled up.
IBT: We took a beating from Vicky at Etruscan and another at Dacca. Her tanks are eating our Infantry for lunch.
Turn 8 (1858 AD): Cumae trained a Machine Gun, started an Infantry(3). P'yongyang trained a Destroyer, started another(12). Pisae trained a Destroyer, started another(9).
At Dacca, with the help of a fresh replacement Artillery, the stack of 4 invaders was eliminated. I drafted more infantry, this time from cities further away from Etruscan, and sent them to the besieged coastal city. The wounded tanks had split up to plunder, taking infantry escorts with them. This AI is getting too smart. Meanwhile, her artillery continued to pound away at the city defenses.
Back at the Indian front, we had regrouped and began a second bombardment of Delhi.
IBT: Etruscan fell. After her 3 artillery sacrificed on our infantry, she swarmed us with wounded tanks, not losing a single battle and cleaned up with Infantry. She razed the city so as reinforcements arrive, they can simply focus on killing all the wounded English units.
Turn 9 (1859 AD): Rome trained a Destroyer, started an Infantry(4). New Athens trained an Artillery, started an Infantry(5). Lahore constructed a Library, started a Factory(17).
We killed a couple English invaders but there were plenty remaining. I did one more round of drafts, using our core cities that I had been trying to avoid disrupting.
IBT: At the ruins of Etruscan, Vicky counterattacked, killing 2 infantry, losing an Infantry of her own.
Turn 10 (1860 AD): Neapolis trained a Destroyer, started an Infantry(7). Bombay constructed a Lighthouse, started a Taoist Temple(23).
Vicky had 4 destroyers on our southern coast but they're split up. Outside of Pisae, we had her outnumbered, 5 to 2. So I attacked her ships. Can you believe we lost all 5 attacks? I suck.
At least I fared better cleaning up the English invaders that I allowed to capture and raze Etruscan. I suck.
Our force has been regrouped in India and is ready to re-take Delhi -- not sure they can hold it, though. Did I mention I suck?
