Executive Summary:
My Turn Log:
Inherited Turn (1200 BC): I double-revolt to Vassalage and Hereditary Rule. We'll want Slavery, not Serfdom, and it would take an additional turn of anarchy to revolt to three civics, so it wouldn't save anything. I switch work to Bronze Working, since I really need Slavery.
1160-1120 BC: Bismarck groups up his units, I build chariots. Forest grows near Seoul.
1080 BC: Hannibal has an CR1 axe and an C1 archer next to Seoul; I have a chariot finished this turn (I promote to C1), a C1/medic warrior, and a green warrior for defense. There's also a C1 spear coming at Pyongyang. I have nothing much to do but pray. Seoul starts a longbow.
IBT: Chariot defeats the axe, then the medic warrior loses to the archer. A forest grows near Seoul.
1040 BC: I kill the weakened archer with the chariot at 99.8% odds. Pyongyang finishes a chariot and starts a longbow. We have a lot of cash; I decide to upgrade Pyongyang's archer to a longbow so I can prevent the spear from pillaging.
IBT: Great Lighthouse is BIAFAL. We have copper!
1000 BC: With Bronze Working finished, I decide to go for Code of Laws--I might as Ill found Confucianism, given I're halfway done with the tech. One of Mao's archers is wandering around south of our cities. I guess they got stranded there at some point? Hannibal has sent a stack of two CR1 axes our direction. I promote Seoul's chariot to shock and Pyongyang's to flanking 1, and make ready to go after the stack next turn. Pyongyang's upgraded longbow kills Hannibal's spear.
IBT: Hannibal's stack moves towards Seoul.
975 BC: I revolt to Slavery. (I had to wait out the 5 turns between revolutions.) I move the chariots against Hannibal's axes.
950 BC: Hannibal has another C1 spear coming in. I whip a barracks in Seoul, so the next longbow will get two promotions out of the gate. Our chariots slaughter Hannibal's stack on open ground.
IBT: Ghengis declares war on Mansa.
925-875 BC: Chariots move back to Seoul to heal. I build longbows.
IBT: Mansa and Ghengis both ask us to declare war on the other. Um, no, I think we have enough wars already.
850-825 BC: I dance around with longbow against a spear at Seoul.
IBT: Pyramids BIAFAL.
775 BC: A barb warrior approaches Pyongyang, and I kill it with Pyongyang's longbow. A stack of two CR1 spears, a CR1 axe, and a C1 archer appears from Hannibal's direction. I whip a barracks in Pyongyang, sending the overflow to another longbow.
750 BC: More dancing with spears. A barb archer has appeared near Pyongyang.
- We have a settler sitting in Seoul because I didn't have enough units to cover it and Hannibal's attack.
- I've been trying to hook up the copper, but Hannibal's been harassing it. The roads are up, but the mine is not finished.
- Code of Laws is due in one turn, so we should get Confucianism. I'm hoping it founds in Pyongyang, so if we stay with no state religion, we get the extra culture, but Seoul would be nice in the long run.
- Hannibal has a total of five units near Seoul: two CR1 spears, one C1 spear, one CR1 axe, and one C1 archer. We have two turns left on the remaining whip unhappiness, and a longbow the next player can two-pop whip when they feel it's necessary. (I suggest sending the overflow to another longbow.) We have a 5 XP unpromoted longbow, a shock chariot, and a green warrior in Seoul. There's a barbarian archer approaching Pyongyang; it has a 3 XP unpromoted longbow, and I've also sent our flanking 1 chariot south, to potentially deal with the archer and garrison Pyongyang if the next player wants to send its garrison to help Seoul. Pyongyang will finish another longbow next turn.
