Well before i comment on important things, realize that christianity was founded at about year 0, which i think is supposed to be the historic founding time right? (or is that the birth of christ?)
Anyway on the events-
1.The picture of shaka is upsaide down.
2. We need OB with shaka and egypt ASAP. Shaka might not be a good ally for the near future, but he has no religion and could be a great ally down the road, especially if we ever have a war in africa. Egypt on the otehr hand might be hindu, but at least is not buddhist. They could both be decent (or quite good) allies.
3. LOOK AT THAT DEFICIT! We need more cottages, mine the gold and silver and work it, anything we can to get more gold. OB to get trade routes to other cities. Try to OB rome, vikings, carthage, egypt, shaka, ireland, and asoka. Everyone but russia.
4. The library thing is new to me, must be BTS. But i think we can get that done. We will have 7 cities once we capture chinook.
5. CHINOOK. The barbarians named their city after a helicopter. They must be time travelers. Well that was going to be the spot of our next city, so we might as well take it shouldnt we? It will probably be POP 2 by the time we get an offensive force together. If its not, then we let it grow to that level. We have a swordsmen being built in london, and i think more should be produced as well.
6. London. We should build as many swordsmen as possible here. After the initial one is done, build a galley, then continue with swordsmen. Whip if reaches 8 POP again.
7. Ravus-York. After the granary, spam workers. The first 3 after the initial one go to nottingham, the initial one stays at ravus. Whip it down 2 POP if it reaches 8 POP. After 4 workers build a christian monastary and temple in that order. The initial missionary we get should go to london. Once the temple is done (this is next administration by now) we get alot of missionaries from there. We should convert our entire empire, and at least one city in each otehr CIV we know.
8. In Iberia, put a pasture on those horses, farm the wheat, then mine every hill you can find. Production is a must there. Workes in France should spam cottages there. Everywhere. MAYBE 1 or 2 farms if theres space in the budget. In Iberia, once that silver becomes available, mine it and connect it. The same with the gold. No more settlers are to be put here.
9. Get cities to work as many sea tiles, or any other tiles that have commerce, as they can.
10. LH-Can we get a picture of germany? It looks like borders expanded again in rome, so we might not sneak another settler in there. Just a quick picture.
11. What are the battle odds for the attackj on Chinook? We might not need offensive units for it.
12. Are we at war with peter and ragnar or not? We need confirmation on that.
13. Do we know anything about scandinavia? Has Ragnar taken it over completely or is there still a gap for a city there?
14. Convert to christianity. Its our religion. So lets openly adopt it. Spread it to shaka too as mentioned above.
Great job by the way. Must have taken quite a bit of micromanagement, and your iniative with london was great.
