Pre-Turn
MM as described before, income now 129gpt since lux is at 10%. We should be able to expand and take out the Spanish soon
move out 2 sword armies to go after Toledo.
1.510AD
Korea has invention now
Take out Toledo after defeating 2 pikes there, Spain has no more horses and iron
take out Acav there as well with 2nd army
IT Koreans are going after Gano, Spain sends a knight within range of Tsingtao
2.520AD
bombard a pike and knight to 1hp each near Gewauga and finally get a MGL there to rush palace
take out the knight as well
swap Centralia to mace though we will lose some shields
move armies towards Barcelona, rush settler in Tsingtao to claim iron/horses before the other resettle there
at Gano, bomb 4 attackers and take out 1 mace, leave the rest alone
move sword army towards Taejon, MW army north to tackle that remaining Korean city there
found Silk City in the north
IT see 2 settler pairs running towards ex Toledo, Rat Falls gets a market, all the better with 4 luxes
Greebley River gets a harbor
3.530AD
Spain and Korea both know Theology and invention now
rush palace in Centralia, just to see the effect, we now make 170gpt
attack Taejon, removing 2 spears, but a LB left inside
attack Barcelona and there is only 1 defender inside
thus, use 2nd army to take out that Korean settler pair and then move army south
move settler into position
take out spear next to Gano
IT we get invention and theology as expected
4. 540AD
palace jump results in jump of 30gpt
found Spanish Horses, take out 2 spears and a LB and Paegam is ours
we need a harbor there to connect ivory to get ACav's, but we can't rush it yet
take out a pike and 2 maces in Taejo, but I refrain from taking the city as there are 3 knights and 1 LB next to it
start to attack Santiago, but wound sword army quite a bit
other army vacates Barca due to th flip risk
IT suddenly Korea attacks the army stack next to Taejon, but since a knight became top defender as army is yellow, it's fin
our knight actually wins
5.550AD
tough it costs 234gold, rush harbor in Paegam, we might get ACav's then and reduce lux to 0%
take out 2 spears and raze Santiago, army is red but since no enemy units are anywhere close, it should be fine
IT it seems as if the Koreans are shifting their targets south and the knight move away from Gano
of all places, Manpo in the far north deposes us, that flips risk must have been marginal
6.560AD
luckily our MW's can take out 2 spears to take that city back
move a pike into Barcelona, that enables 1 sword army to move on to Hyangsang to start attacking, taking out 1 pike
other armies heal this turn
IT this can get tricky as the first knight appears at Barcelona, but we get our first ACav there as compensation
7.570AD
decide to use not fully healed army to attack and take out that knight, I would really like to keep Barcelona
send our first ACav to take out Spanish settler pair for more slaves
in the north, we take out a Korean settler pair near our Ivory city
Taejon is a tough nut to crack, but after beating 2 pikes and a LB, we take town
army redline and a mace is nearby, cover army with pike and hit mace with some cat
IT Korean mace decide to attack Taejon and loses against 2 hp knight after redlining it
our former capital gets a court
Barca deposes us
we lose the pike in there
8.580AD
well, our MW next to it gets the city back
2 irritating pikes are in between Barcelona and Spanish Horses, bomb them and take them out
get a settler there to close the gap
decide to shift our MW army south to help with Barcelona and taking care of the Spanish remaining cities
take out another pike at Hyangsan, but wound army yet again
IT Koreans are back near Gano, that's better, I rather they put their units into inaccessible terrain than the south
Spain lands a spear next to Liverpool
9.590AD
found Spanish corridor
found Peninsula on the way to connect the ivory town
attack Hyangsan and redline both sword armies, but take the town, keep it for a turn so we can retreat next turn
IT Korea's knight turn around once more probably to go after Hyangsan
London gets a court boosting our income
10.600AD
move both redlined armies back into Spanish corridor, by the way, Korea is without iron now, no more knights for them
found Tundra
place MW army next to Barcelona, once our sword armies are back online, we should go after the remainder of Spain
they only have 6 cities left and Korea 9, so both should crumble soon. A knight army would be nice and Greebley River could maybe
hand build the HE
we make 269gpt now
we are about to get more infra and can churn out more units.
our western land now, remember not to park an army inside Barca, flip risk too high. I actually starve the city down to minimize the risk
Rat. I see we had some flips this turn-set, looks like I might just raze any cities I capture, unless theres any objections. I won't raze if any useful wonders are present, of course. I see that Gano is still a magnet for enemy units, I wonder why they want such a useless town so bad? It has no resources, surrounded by mountains, and is a strategic nightmare to defend. Guess theres no limit to Artificial Stupidity.
I will play it either today or tomorrow, depending on my work schedule and whether my terminal is fixed or not.
![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
Barcelona is finally a lesser flip risk, with just one Spanish citizen. Madrid is high risk still. Korea has Sun Tzu's and Muskets now, so they are becoming a pain
Here is my turn-log:
