Can turn research off and still get Astronomy with scientist

Trade embargo vs us between Zulu and Babylon has ended
Rampaging Chineze have destroyed the Zulu, I hope we didn't have any per turn deals with them

I like the idea especially if we are the Nordic Peoples Republic. KGB HQ would work wonders IMHO.

Just looked at the save, we are paying 126gpt in unit support (29 Berserks). When our Golden Age ends next turn only tax at 90% will keep us in the a float. We should consider another war. I'm thinking Ottoman because they have Saltpeter right near us in Bursa and that puts us near their capital. Other opitions are Romes Silks or Ottomans Dyes. Any opinions?
Admiral Kutzov
Idiot Emeritus
Ottos first. Set it up so that we have combat settlers ready to move in when the zerks take down the towns. BTW, i was serious when I said we should go commie later.
ThERat

I agree with AK on commie, but first, strike Otto and get that salt for us. Maybe could raze city to the east as well, we need room for more cities
The Money War (No fighting)
Preturn 850AD:
Moved offense to the front, changed many builds, sent boats to islands to pick up any Berserks there, disband warriors and archers to save money.
Turned off science for a turn until we are out of the golden age.
Retraded with China getting us another 10gpt and 7 gold
IBT:
Ottoman&China vs Babylon
Turn 1 860AD:
Golden Age ends
Notice that Ottomans have Rifles and Sipahi (8/3/3)
Turn 2 870AD:
IBT:
Persia&China vs Babylon
Rome&Persia vs Babylon
Turn 3 880AD:
IBT:
Persia&Ottoman mpp
China building ToE
Turn 8 930AD:
IBT:
Rome&Persia mpp
Babylon&Ottoman peace
Turn 9 940AD:
IBT:
China finishes US
Notes:
Couldn't start the war
Built two new cities and there is a settler on some marsh being cleared for another city
I spent this turn trying to keep us in the possitives and build a defense that can handle the Sipahi.
After the third city is built it will be 1 square to reach Bursa, stepping over their saltpeter.
Rome is missing Navigation
Note the mpps that will require us to declare on Persia&Rome
We are making 8gpt currently.

got it. will probably post for advice tomorrow and then play.

we better plan for a proper strategy this time. the first war against Ottoman was really flawed and cost us the Glib.
but I feel we need to rid them off our land, else it will be a very tough game

and idiots get extra time, right

@AK
I can't look at the save at work, but we should think twice first. Maybe it would be wise to hit Rome first? some quick strikes to eliminate some towns.
Or we advance and off a few Ottoman cities. Then make peace soon and settle the empty land

Unless there's a really obvious path, I'll post before I play. Too tired tonight. Tomorrow.

Found the SoD near the ottoman SP. We can take it, but there's no defense in the east for counterattacks. I'd like to dump the galleys to get some gold since our pillaging period is over. IMHO, we need some knights. Feel our next war should at least grab SP and dyes. Not feeling swell about taking on Sipahi, rifles with stone throwers and zerks. Advice?
ThERat
Deity
agree on knights. I feel we should try and get those 2 cities north (maybe attack the western one from seaside. and the southern one as well. must be well coordinated at one go. then try and get peace back as soon as possible before the sipahis take us apart.

edit: I looked at the save and I don't really know what to do. Ottomans have a MPP with Persia and I don't dare to attack them with the meagre force we have. Shevek, have a look at the save and take some turns if you like
