Turn 1: Kahn declares on Bismark! Our anger has spread! Hannible is starting to get ANGRY that we won't join him in fighting the Americans. He will now be even ANGRIER! Citizens in P'Yang are ANGRY that their city is unhealthy, I tell them to Shut Up when they damand an aquaduct. Archer/Cat pair in the North move away from us. Frankfort: Barracks->Hwacha
Turn 2: Mansa offers Metal Casting and 90g for Paper, but I decline since we're not going directly to Liberalism. Horse archer outside Munich starts to pillage, and I can't stop it in time to keep the Cottage. Longbow does take Formation promotion though in order to be able to attack Horse Archer next turn at favorable odds. Results of that battle next turn. Seoul has it's forest chop finished, but is no longer unhappy, so I allow it's build to continue without using the whip.
Turn 3: Philosophy finishes. Taoism is founded in Berlin. Missionary is sent to Seoul. I choose not to switch to Pacifism (we're far to ANGRY!). Research set to gunpowder. Longbow dies at 65% odds attacking horse archer ouside Munich, Hwacha in the city finishes it off. Berlin has a small AI stack of 3 units moved outside it. I don't think I have the forces to take the stack out and not risk loosing the city.
Turn 4: Bismarck attacks Berlin, he is left with one injurded horse archer, we loose no units and clean up the horse archer with a Hwacha. Bismarck moves his Longbow off of his horse supply, I move my Longbow onto it and will pilliage if I survive to the next turn.
Turn 5: Bismarck moves his longbow away from our city, and I pillage his horses. We also take the lead in score.
Turn 6: Missionary spreads Taoism to the capitol. Longbow that pillaged the horses moves to pillage Bismarcks cottages (we need all the gold we can get, research is around 50-60%.
Turn 7: Army begins to assemble near Cologne, next player may be able to take it.
Turn 8: Seoul finishes University, starts Taoist monestary.
Turn 9: I realize how stupid I have been to completely pillage down a villiage FROM A CITY WE'RE ABOUT TO CAPTURE! And I claim to be a Monarch level player
I also whip a market in Berlin, which is massivly starving due to unhappiness.
Turn 10: Collosium is whipped in Berlin, which is now happy. Perhaps it would have been much smarter to have whipped a Granary and Barracks, but I took the hint from whoever had qeued up the market that that was the way to go.
Worker status - I should have canceled all the orders. Many workers have been moved to the North, which is fairly safe and in need of improving.
Military status: Most cities are continueing to build longbows and hwachas until gunpowder completes. The main army is in the forest west of Cologne and ready to take promotions and move out.
Finally a shot of the military front: Our stacks in the area are 1 longbow and 5 hwachas in the northern tile, and 3 longbows and 6 hwachas on the southern. One more of each unit can arrive there in a few turns.
Guess I'll have to read your story in the morning (I have to go to sleep in 3 minutes.) .
