preflight still 950 AD
after reading the discussion from the previous turnset, i'm going to try to wipe out a few more roman cities
before hitting return.
Ravenna falls easily, only one pike defending. it is razed.
veii falls, we lose one cossack. it is razed.
Antium falls to a single cossack, who is promoted to elite. city is razed.
i reposition some cossacks to take cologne from the romans, but they can't make it this turn.
hispalis and pompeii are easily raze-able next turn, but there are three other cities (muich, st. louis,
detroit) on the continent that i cannot get to easily. there are other cities on an island to the east that are out of the question until we get some ships over there. the ocean seems full of our galleons, i may have to
divert a few to the east side.
i turn my attention to productivity.....
the lux slider is currently at 30%. a quick manual count on the F1 screen tells me that *at least* 16 cities will riot next turn if i don't do something. i bump lux to 40% and it helps a little, but we'll still lose a lot of cities. i may have to switch some science weenies to clowns. i think i've got it under control (for this turn anyway). we will now get electricity in 8 instead of 7 due to the scientists we lost to maintain order. we
are at -79 gpt.
we either need to end this war quickly (which may be difficult to due with no ships in position to wipe out the
eastern islands) or switch governments. i considered switching to monarchy since communism isn't on our current
research path. ugh.
i check out our worker situation...
there several stacks of workers that aren't working on the rail line from the core to our invasion launching point (anjar). i wake them up so that i can move them next turn. most will take 3-4 turns to get into position.
there are no workers improving our core either. railroaded mines produce more shields, right?
i decide to cash-rush a couple cossacks in our core. we've got the cash to spare with 1075 gold left.
i hit return...
IBT - american settler/spear combo moves closer

brandeburg riots ... looks like i mised a city, sorry guys
hispalis' pike and spear fail them, the city is razed with no loss to us.
pompeii falls to our cossack army (taking no damage!); pompeii is razed.
all the roman cities on the southern part of the new coninent are gone. the are a few roman cities nestled up in the german territory and a couple more roman cities on islands. i will try to wipe them out as quickly as possible, but the logistics may prove to be a challenge. I begin moving our units from the southern portion of the new continent to either a launching point for the eastern roman island OR north to hit the roman in german lands.
i capture cologne and keep it so we can bounce settlers if the cruise by. hey, it even has a barracks! i have it start building a galleon (we need some on this side of the continent).
mason-disxon is building a wal...? i switch to cannon.
i upgrade a caravel to galleon.
several workers are retask to build rail lines.
four cossacks land on lutetia island. not sure if this is enough to take the city or not.... but i can make that decision next turn.
i reposition some galleons with the intent of shuttling forces to the eastern roman island.
switch production at gem town from settler to marketplace. it is pop 11 and needs the extra smilies.

IBT
romans move two units near our cities.... i'm scared!
970 AD - turn2
tyrana cossack=>cossack

i redline two cossacks capturing lutetia. i keep the city as a staging ground for taking jerusalem. new york is now the roman capitol.
i discover our first barb re-settlement in the south of the new continent! those buggers are quick. i'm going to leave a few cossacks behind to guard the slaves moving northward, bu that's it' we can easily wipe out barbs
if they start approaching our cities to the north.
workers railrailrailroad a bunch.
i am in no position to attack any more roman cities this turn (or probably next turn either). most of our cossacks are en route to the north or waiting on galleons to invade the eastern islands.
893 gold in hand, -101 gpt. electricity in 6.
IBT
- roman troops move toward brandenburg which has no defender. may have to rush one there to avoid losing the city.
-americans settle memphis just south of stuttgart. it won't expand with our transportation until it expands, so
i leave it for now.

IBT - americans really want to colonize the southern part of the continent! two teams of MI/settlers appear
near cologne. we cannot deny them passage as they do not have to travel through our territory (yet), so i will try to block the 'public' road and force them through our lands.

chicago that i don't think i can move just yet.
there is a volcano erupting between baltimore and detroit (both roman) so the cossacks might just chill for a turn. they are fortified, so the next player will have to activate them on their next turn. workers continue to railroad all over the place, double check their progress and path to ensure that they follow your wishes. some ships will continue towards their final destination. finally, there are a bunch of settlers looking for a new place to build a city.
