Charlemagne,
of the pop-ups!
First, my turnset described entirely in pop-ups:
The turnset, like the list of pop-ups, got better as it went on. Half way through the turnset I was thinking that there wouldn't be an obvious stopping point.
I started the turnset by adjusting the espionage points in favor of Wang Kon, so we can hopefully get to see his research.
The highlight of the turnset was the battle of Zhou. Mauryna had three archers on a hill, and was going to need some serious attention to get claimed. A CR1 Swordsman was 58%, so I wanted six troops to be sure to take it, so I had nothing to spare for Zhou (NO Troops For Zhou!
). I took one of the two axeman defending Augsburg(?) and sent it to explore the southern tundra, planning to check out the garrison at Zhou on the way back. As I was heading there, I noticed Monty had an axe and chariot heading there! I thought I was one turn too late in arriving:
but Monty healed instead, and my lone Axeman took Zhou at 99% odds. Thanks for the help Monty.
I almost pulled off a CoL for Monarchy trade with Monty, but I was going to need at least one turn invested to make it happen. I put the turn into it, but Monty came IBT and demanded I stop trading with Asoka. I had to say no, and Monty dropped to annoyed and now refuses to trade it. By the way, CoL is the only tech we have over anyone, and it's only Monty.
We are falling behind in tech, but land is power, and we have it. I built a seventh worker, and started an eighth. I wasn't sure how to improve Augsburg, so I hired two scientists there instead and sent the workers elsewhere. Feel free to change that.
The entire turnset was spent researching Calendar (except for the one turn into Monarchy); it comes in next turn.
Great Prophet (researches monotheism) is sitting in capital, I don't know what to do with it.
My tundra exploration did reveal another potential city site, whale/crabs/horses:
Finally, my gift to Pawelo, who I believe is up. Most of our cities are defended by a warrior, especially near Wang's borders. Why is this a gift? Oh, no reason.
