1510AD (0) Reorganise Portugal for better growth in Lisbon and change production to military units (I want at least 2 in each city there). Sell Map (every turn) and buy 4 embassies in the new world (for around 200g total).
IT GA ends and messes with all my MM (reload to check, the cities were all showing a wrong number for total production and tax)
York completed Magellan's
1511AD (1) have to sort out all the mess.
rush a temple in Sao Paulo (to give a 2food shield) before courthouse.
rush a temple in Madeira as we will have happiness trouble there.
found Porto Nuevo NO of Rio to prevent other AI to reach the inside of Africa.
1512AD (2) Oporto MI->Pike, Madeira Temple->Colonist, Sao Paulo Temple->Courthouse
1513AD (3) Lisbon MI->Pike,
Portugal is set on Pikemen and the 'grown up' colonies (Islands and Ceuta) on colonists
Spain and England have Gun but still no good trade possible.
1514AD (4) Cap Verde Colonist->colonist (harbor will take too long), Ceuta Colonist->colonist, Lisbon (Dias) colonist.
1515AD (5) Oporto Pike->Pike,
found Sao Vincente & Bahia in Angola (next to both Gems)
England now has Protestantism (monopoly)
1516AD (6)
found St Helena in congo (mainly to prevent AI from landing there and secure the coast to get the gold further inside Africa)
1517AD (7) Lisbon Pike->Pike, Ceuta Colo->colo,
1518AD (8) Oporto Pike->pike
1519AD (9)
found Belem on river next to Ivory
We have a little problem, England has discovered Banking, so they now have 2 monopolies and only Spain has Gunpower still
1520AD (10) Ceutacolo->colo,
Now France & Netherland are still tech ignorant but Spain & England know Gun, Bank & Naval Ordnance. England knows Protestantism on top of that.
No deal, probably have to/could do that soon (when the 2 stupid AIs learn something).
A few comments
- A few colonists are on their way to Africa, 1 is just waiting for the MI and Lgbow to clear the place to build a city on the river (W of its current position).
- We will need more military units and maybe less colonist. Ceuta is probably the best place to build a barrack and join the military cities (Ceuta need 2 units for MP). several cities are without defence.
- I keep following the Africa plan, we have most of the 'rich' Africa under command. Maybe a few cities in America.
Good luck to the next leaders
