Trampling the AI
Surabaya: Bangka > Barracks
1325 BC - Build Tangarang. Move Warrior to get picked up from Borneo next turn.
Move Workers to irrigate the cow.
Jakarta: Settlers
Medan: Warriors
1300 BC - We meet someone new.
"My name is Sioux! How do you do!" they yell.
We're up HBR; they have 61 gold and 18 cities.
Bandung: Warriors
1275 BC - our Atlantic Bangka meets Egypt. They have Poly -- and LACK Writing AND Horseback Riding!
I also notice that India and Persia now have Philosophy.
Now for trades:
I buy Poly from Egypt for HBR, Writing, and 230 gold.
That lets me sell Poly to Persia for Philosophy and 40 gold.
Next, we get Map Making and 5g from Australia for Poly & Phil.
We get Mathematics from Russia in exchange for Poly.
Now, Egypt has 338 gold.
Babylon has 91.
Songhai has 106.
France has 85.
Germany has 59.
Sioux have 67.
I'm tempted to sell Mathematics around to everyone to net some gold and encourage AIs to research Construction, but I'm concerned that our gold stockpile will just be a huge target for AI demands.
Also, I'm not sure what to research next -- I'm waffling between Lit and Currency.
I'm going to hand this off now to let LK play this weekend; I'm going to see family this evening, and I might not have time to play again until Monday.
