Sorry guys, since I am out the next 2 days, I played the turns even withou pindicator's log, you could edit your initial post with your log, that would be nice. anyway, here is what happened
Pre-Turn
we have 46 cities at the moment and 87 units, so only 5 more allowed
we can get spices from America for gunpowder, go for that
we already have 14 caravels that do not upgrade to MoW, so I stop building them
send out 1 army to Murcia
IT a conquistador attacks Madrid but loses
1. 1210AD
march on to Salamanca
though I don't really like it, we can milk germany a little giving them 3 luxes for 75gpt
since they are furious, we better give them something to appease them
IT French finish Newton
2. 1220AD
siege of Salamanca: trebs do the job, we kill 3 muskets and raze it netting 4 slaves
found Birgmingham in the southwestern corner of our empire
3. 1230AD
buy magnetism from Germany for around 2000gold to be able to start our war preparations (a safe steal would have cost just as much), 2 techs to go for IA
MoW being ordered now, SOD proceeeds to Murcia
IT Spanish lose 2 units attacking us and land some units.
The Americans land units on our home land in what looks like a bad sneak attack
4.1240AD
demand America to leave our territory
and they declare
defeat 3 units and found Richmond in former Spain
IT Spanish conqistadores again attack and defeat 1 knight in Madrid
5. 1250AD
attack American galley with MoW and
our income jumps by 200gpt to 542gpt
IT see some French ships sailing about
6. 1255AD
spot one French frigate and the MoW fun begins
manage to raze Murcia
do a unit check, 48 cities and 88 units, still ok
rush temple in Madrid and Seville
IT more boats floating about and Americans drop units in ex Spain
7. 1260AD
found Exeter west of Moscow
send another army over to help out in Spain and defeat 6 units there including a settler pair
IT French attack MoW and we span a new MoW, Spain and russia sign peace
8. 1265AD
MoW are a plasure. Sink America galley to get another MoW that attacks French frigate and spans another MoW that can attack
the caravel with troops I assume
we raze Santiago and found Cambridge
IT again this happens during my turns, Arabia allies with France and declares on us, we lose silks but get WH
French attack MoW and span another one
9. 1270AD
found Gloucester to close some gaps in former Spain
raze Pamplona to take the culture pressure off Canterbury
IT we lose a MoW to a French attack
10.1275AD
span 2 MoW, shift army to attack, 2 other armies are healing and can help next turn to raze those towns if required
Now, here is the plan I thought of:
we have another deal with Germany for 11 more turns. We make peace with France in 11 turns as well (turn 256)
our min run on metal finishes in 14 turns (we can speed that up to time it properly)
I would make peace with France and then get ToG . We enter the IA and make peace with Spain.
Hopefully we can get MT to upgrade our knights.
Then we declare on Germany and try and ally as many others as possible. Germany must be crushed!
In order to get their WW up fast, shift armies and units to that island during the next turnset, we do have enough galleons
The war in Spain can cool down now since we have reduced the flip risks a lot and have gained a lot of land including access to irrigation
our tally now:
51 cities, 93 units
we do have 10 MoW and 6 enslaved MoW, we should try and get more of them
Battleplan:
