That's correct, probably more quiet turns for now

Spain will show up with their initial units so watch for that. With Gallic swordsmen there should be no problems handling them.

If we are unlucky, the Spanish will just sit tight and whip their cities. For now it is essential to defeat the initial stacks though
1. 1475BC
capital has grown to pop 7, decide to employ a scientist as we are at 15spt
take out Spanish spear + warrior
IT a Russian scout comes into view and we get alpha immediately instead of 2 turns
select maths next
2.1450BC
decide to produce another worker, we might need more soon
3. 1425BC
defeat 2 Spanish warriors, send out a GW for some fog busting
4. 14000BC
zzz
IT good news, Madrid finishes the Colossus, we should go after them first
5. 1375BC
defeat yet another warrior
6. 1350BC
barely defeat a TMC
7. 1325BC
zzz
8. 1300BC
Spanish city not growing, this is annoying, maybe we need to seek their core
decide to send out a party to get one of their cities
9. 1275BC
ge to pop 3 Seville, this should be the target
take out a spear there and get 3 more GS in range for next turn
10. 1250BC
take out a TMC that threatens our workers
then manage to take out 2 spears and 2 archers !!! and capture Seville
gain a slave

Ok, I got it.
Do you think we have the resources to go for the capitol? It might be the city to the East as that appears to have a border expansion.

We currently have 4 GS in Seville. If we go for their capital, we need to go there with 5 units I'd say to prevent whips and a stalemate.
However, we haven't met with the initial wave of Inca's yet.

I think it is the other way around. If your are "The Rat", the rodents belong to you. 
The save didn't load for me. Can anyone else load it? I am on a new computer but other saves do load (like GR23 loaded fine).
Tried downloading it a second time and got the same result. Something about a bad date.
The name is wrong too BTW, it says 30 instead of 31.

It loaded for me Geebley. I will upload it and you can try it.
Well there may be something special about this save as it loads on my old computer but not my new one. For my new one I loaded civ, conquests, and updated conquests to 1.22 and ptw to 1.29.
In any case I played. We had troubles with the Hittite Chariots and a Spanish Sword, but managed to get lucky and not actually lose a Gallic. Moved on Madrid - Note that Spain's Iron is visible and we can pillage if we don't take Madrid.
There are a number of enemies all around. We met a new one as well - Russia.
Apologies for playing an extra turn.

looks like we have a shot at madrid. two cities for a core already in place, this might work out. the units seem managable. is that a russian boarder south of seville or where are their units to be expected?

All we have seen is a scout but that does look like their borders
Note that if we don't think we can take Madrid, I would go for their Iron instead.

The problem with not taking Madrid is getting more cities. Spain will surely whip their cities. We need to go after their capitals.
Of course, we might want to go after the iron and check the other city next to it

I mean if our attack is failing. We have 4 units - one got attacked and retreated (i.e we originally had 5 for the attack). If the first two fail for example and a healthy spear is on top, we may want to go for the iron instead.
Or Overseer might decide to wait for more than 4 (some were healing).
Note though that all our cities were under attack and so need defense.

Got the save, can possibly begin playing tonight. I will try for Madrid, if no dice, then pillage their Iron, retreat, and try again. Santiago can be ours when it grows or becomes the new capital.

TheOverseer, are you playing this?
