Interturn
Ummm, I dont hae an interturn? Please leave me an interturn next time
Actually, I probably do. It's not clear. I have an archer to use, but i also have a worker with no movement not doing anything....... I'll just go one less or whatever to make the years come out right.
Diplomcy check shows an active deal with Korea for us giving out gold. No other deals.
Tech Check reveals Babalon, Germany, Mongols at Parity, Rest up Philosophy.
We are min science running Poly, due in 20. Looks dubious we'll get it first the rate things are progressing with only that, Curency, Construction, and the Government techs left. Either way, its a good deal. at least we won't have to buy it.
My first thought when I looked at the map was, OMG NO HORSES OR IRON AGAIN?? Tursn out we are built on them so yea!
I'm also at a loss as to why we haven't irrigated that wheat by shanghai. Barb troubles?? (probably)
As for the galley in Xinjan, I must admit I am lost. Are we planing to go exploring somewhere? It is a pangea map and we have full contact. why do we want this? If there is a reason we wanted it, then I screwed up because I'm not building it. Xinjan Swaps to Rax so we have somewhere to build cheap vet units. I swap Nanking to warrior so we have a unit for MP or to do settler escorting in the near future. We do want a Rax there, but right now we are unit deficient. I swap tsingtao to warrior because i have a specific plan for that warrior.
Shanghai is buiulding a settler, which we DO need, but with Rampant barbs we need an archer first, so we swap to that.
Most of the tile arrangment looks good except at shanghai, which could get the settler at the same rate byt grow 1 turn faster by working that wheat. It will cost a meer 2 coins to grow faster, so I jump at it. Also, Bejing missed a micro opportunity but its ok, we'll fixor that up a bit too.
Man, we need some SERIOUS worker production, but nowhere looks really good for that. Speaking of workers..... we have a Babalonian worker....... uh oh. OK, here is the deal. He's going to finisht that mine, then discount philosophy for us by getting sold back to Babalon
[1] Vet archer fortifies to heal. Both barb Horsies ride off zzzzzz
[2] Bejing Settler -> Settler (cant make warriors anymore
) Originally I wanted to grab #1 with him, but after thinking about it, it is definately not safe to send him out unescorted over there, but it should be safe to grab #6 unescorted, swap tsingtao to warrior to send thre quick, and make walls in both cities thereafter.
Vet archer takes out the Barb Camp
Babs have a worker available. Really wanted to buy him then remembered I couldn't..... (it was actually later i noticed that the one we had was Bab, so I had to go back and replay all this so grrrrrr at somone heh)
Korea has workers too
BT Vikes start Lighthouse
[3] Archer redlines, but takes out a barb horsie.
IT - Spain declares war on Mongolia.
[4] zzzzzzz. Boring micro managment in progress.
[5] Shanghai Archer -> Settler
Nanking warrior -> Worker Warrior heads to the capital to MP there to free up a spear for escort duity
Babalonina scum worker finishes his last project and heads to the capital.
Warrior over in Babalon pops the hut there and gets nothing. Contiued MMing of the capital for all its worth.
Settler arrives at #6
IT - Spain and everyone with philosophy grab lit. Spain starts the library.
[6] Tsingtao Warrior -> Walls
Though the Settler has arrived at #6 , he waits for the warrior to arrive to found it so we don't have an open city leading to extortion.
IT - Ottos start the Library
[7] Canton Worker -> Rax
Foreign nationa sits in capital awaiting brokerage. If no opportunity arives by the end of my turn, he goes away for nothing.
[8] Bejing Settler -> Settler
Xinjan Barracks -> Horsie
Settler/Spear from Bejing head for #1
Warrior reaches 6dot settler, Chengdu founded on #6
Babs and Germans finally have Lit. Spanish and Koreans Currency, and the #%#&% Mongols have Poly *sigh*
Hmmm might as well 2fer before the whole planet has Lit.
160g to Korea for Lit
Lit and his worker to Babalon for Philosophy and WM.
Not great deals, but 2 techs for 160g isnt terrible either. Babs are broke, and Mongols don't have but 14 coins. Not worth trading it to them, even though they'll pick it up when the broker Poly anyhow..... Maybe we can get more in a turn or 2. Both civs with Currency are at war with them.
Note there was no way to 2fer the other direction by trading first with Babalon so the worker has gone back
IT - Barb horsie attacks our archer that has almost reached the camp. the archer redlines but wins. Annother horsie sows up to threaten our settler pair
[9] ZZZZZZZ
IT - Korea signs The Vikes and the Ottos to Alliance vs Mongolia. I'd say mongolia is toast
[10] Shanghai Settler -> Spear
Settler pair heads for #2
My plan for the next settler would be to send him to #4, then we can backfill.
I'm worried about Tsingtao being so far out. So far Spain and Babalon have been respecting its boarders, but who knows how long that will last. If they declare war, that city is pretty much toast. I'm fairly worried about our lack of military too, but with so many of the cities being size 1, not too sure what we can do about it unless we quit making any more settlers for a while, which is a problem too, because then they will walk right into our land trying to reach the back areas.
GL on your 10 meldor.

, and I got to see an AI raze more cities than any human, as the Americans deftly avoided domination by razing about 20+ cities of 3 diffrent opponents in the early to mid industrial age in a chain of wars, and never resettled any of the sites.
. I should be founding 1,2,3 at least on my turn. I'm not sure about 4 though because im not sure we can get all these spots in time, 4,5,9 would be lowest priority to me because of boarder concerns. I just woke up so if i shake some rust off i should be able to play in a bit.
