Pre-Turn
rush temple in Sinop, front needs more tiles to defend against China, upgrade 26 muskets to rifles
IT
lots of Cavs built, get palace extension
1. 860AD
shift units towards front, we need rifles for the choke towns, adjust science to get steam in 9
2. 870AD
one Japanese city on mainland left, war preparation full steam, next turn the deal ends and we want to get wine city osaka as soon as possible,so we get some of the lux back we lose next turn
IT deal with China ends, of course I do NOT renew a deal, got plenty to deal with France though
3.880AD
demand China to leave and ...they do
still declare and get france to ally (+20g) for a mere lux, they still got plenty of units around for China to chew on
capture
Nara , take
Quirigua, one unit left in Osaka after defeating 6
capture
Kagoshima with copernicus
IT I only lose 1 Cav, French LB try to take Kamin... do not succeed, but both exchange some units and last Japanese city on our pangaea is gone
4. 890AD
defeating 4 more units in
Osaka I finally take the city and wines, they parked all their wounded Cav's there for us to pick
defeat a stray musket and get a MGL, use it to rush pentagon
IT French units do no good
, and Kagoshima almost falls
5. 900AD
capture
Kaminaljuyu flush out more units, but I fear we will lose Kagoshima next turn
our armies need to heal in IT, France and China strike each other and the Cav in front of Kago is leaving
IT Japan and China sign peace Japan is OCC
6. 910AD
take
Edo with army, take
Antalya
IT China captures
Sinop 
7.920AD WW hits, but Steam in 2, I do not want to adjust slider
capture
Kyoto and Bach, wow that helps a lot, it has the Great lighthouse as well
retake
Sinop, and hero Rat creates another GML, this will be an army for the frontline
France has now medicine, I wait with a deal
IT China captures
Buffalo, I was long time waiting for that
8. 930AD
next turn get steam, reduce science and increase lux due to WW
capture
Satsuma and
Calakmul, the last Chinese cities in hinterland taken, now towards the front
9. 940AD
steam comes in, change to industrialization in 11,
no coal connected but we do have several sources
IT
Phila riots
10. 950AD
coal connected, now we can start roading to connect core with front, we might need more workers, maybe slaves from razed cities
do not worry about the enemy Cav's in our land, with 4 armies we can clean them up and soon attack and raze the choke cities
left almost all units unmoved
btw, all the Chinese frigates are very annoying, started to build some myself, we need more cannons at the coast to hit them and maybe sink later on
what do we do next?
we should really agree on the final plan, conquer or domination. I did not rush much, we still have a lot of cash
I think we should raze and claim chinese land all the way to nanking, then go for France next? as long as they do not have infantry, our armies will pick them easily, we do not even need to raze their cities, just park units next to the conquered ones and recapture in case they flip
we can trade a lot with France but I did not because I was not sure whether we will go after them soon
some statistics
we got 39% land and 44% pop
11 vs 7 wonders
the front of our not so little empire
and sorry onedreamer, I always disable animations for movement, I have no time for that with so many units running about
