Heres the end of my reign.
Play to 700AD
610AD - Russia piss about our galley travelling through. Sorry. Beijin pike>Temple for culture. Corona JW>JW. Teohiwaca JW>JW. Fireworks in Talix Montes and Tlatelocaco. Elite JW kills horse near Canton. MMOW. JW moves to 1 tile from worker to protect from chinese spear. Near Texcoco. Sci up to 60/20 +5gpt. GP in 5.
620AD - Teno and Texcoco JW>JW. Tlaxcala settler>library. Cantpronounce JW>JW. Smolnsk pike>pike, sent to Montezumas. JW promotes to elite off of chinese spear. Attacking Xinjin, 1st JW wins with 1hp remaining. 2nd JW wins losing 1 HP. 2 spears dead and an archer shows up as next defender. He dies and promtes Jag to elite. Settler captured with city. Order Temple. To push back borders. City already at size 1. Moving new JWs to Kiev and Montezumas. Change Tlaxcala from lib>cathedral (forgot we were religious.) Trade Lincoln ivory for 7g +2gpt and world map. Ganhdi gets our extra fur for 63g +2gpt +WM. Russia gets nothing since they're our next target.
630 - Montes JW>JW. 104g rushs temple in tiensin. 40g upgrades 2 spears to pikes. Teinsin's JW gets on Galley and heads for Canton. This makes Teinsin unhappy. Taxman hired until temple (next round).
640 - Telohuica JW>JW. Calix aquaduct>JW. Tiensin temple>spear, taxman fired. Tsingtao hires taxman, spear due next turn. Xochicalco founded on Grassland pennisula>temple. Elite kills archer. JWs take Canton with two victorys>temple. No resistance in size 1. Sci 40/ lux 20 still get GP in 2.
650 - Beijin temple>court. Teo JW>JW. Tsingtao pike>temple MM-food. Sell currency to Babs for 10g +WM. They still need help. This may generate more gold in their empire which we can grab with other tech sales. China will give us a city but no deal until their capital is moved to the Greek pennisula far away from the towns we captured. Sci stays at 40 for GunPowder next turn.
660 - China begs an audience but I blow them off. I know what they want. Gunpowder done, Theology ordered, better get a prebuild going for Sistines. We already have 2 sources of saltpeter connected so pike no longer possible, only muskets. Teno, Corona JW>JW. Smolensk Pike>musket. Corona switched to palace prebuild. Mine destruction/irrigation of grassland around Texcoco continues. Realize that a mountain road will make trade possible with greeks SE of Xinjin or SW. Opt for SW since we have workers nearby. Tlateco hires 2 taxmen for WLTCD. We're getting quite a stack of JW on Iron hill next to russia. (7). Calix needs major worker help. Were stuck at 7 with our fresh aquaduct. Coronaville has priority though since its building towards wonder. Sci back to 60/20.
670 - Monte JW>court, Tlate JW>Market, Texcoco JW>Cathedral. Switching to building to grab a few sheilds at the end of our GA (1-2 more turns). 68g rushed spear in tiensin. JW kill 2 spears to take Chendung. Fortify for healing. Worker stack around Montes moved to Calix. First work turns will be cutting forest and sheilds will be wasted on Corona since they don't apply to wonders. Realize I already have workers cutting forest in Corona. Switch to Musket which will accept forest sheilds next turn and be built turn after that. Then Corona must be set to palace prebuild for sistines. Note that Tsingtao will be at 6 next round and is a potential worker factory, growing every 2 turns.
680 - Forest harvested to corona. Teno, Cantpronounce JW>cathedral. Tiensin Spear> Harbor. borders expand here. Workers start mining hill in tiensin. Elite JW defeats spear in Shanghai. 4/4 JW loses taking only 1 hp and promoting spear. New health spear appears so there must have been three at least. wont be able to take the city this round. 3/4 JW attacks anyway and wins with 1hp remaining. I won't be able to attack next turn with this guy and will be really vulnerable if the 5/5 elite dies. Three more jags are 3 turns away. MM-shields Corona and Calix to get musket and JW next turn so Corona can start prebuild. Gift Republic (Everyone already has it) to Babs. They go from furious to annoyed.
690 - Chinese archer runs by our jags from Shanghai. Corona musket>palace prebuild for Sistines. Kiev courthouse>aquaduct. Teohuacan JW>court. Ur temple>cathedral. Now I realize why babs are furious with us. Ur invades their capitals city space. This town is a hugh flip risk. Move troops out of town. Calix JW>Cathedral. Moving troops to hill sees chinese galley in inland sea. Elite takes Shanghai...and creates a Great Leader Ahuitzohl! Four resisters,order temple. Chinas capital is now in the southern hemisphere. Leader makes it as far south as Teohuacan. JW waits here for escort for leader next turn. Galley with 2 JWs sees Chinese archer that left shanghai last turn and JWs disembark. Peace with china for Nanking, 7g and world map. Nanking set to harbor. Note we still need to found a city in the delta area NW of beijing. Spend 52g to hurry Tsingtao temple. Build settler here next turn. India is max on technology since they don't even have 1gpt to spare in trade. They also have Theology (we'll get it in 3 turns so I don't trade engineering for it.) Hope we can beat them to Sistines. Gift Monarchy to Babs. Note that they are scientific so if we gift them construction they will learn Feudalism, Monotheism or Engineering, all of which we have. Shift Corona/Calix tiles a little to get more sheilds in Calix and some growth in Corona. When irrigation completes. Corona should be set to grow. Calix hires taxman to get WLTKD but now has no growth.
700 - Since I played 11, I leave this turn for the next player to play 11 also.
Notes: Leader is a tough one right now. We can use him to rush Leos right now, switching Stratadite to palace prebuild for Sistines (available in 3 turns). Then we pray for another leader to build the FP. We can build FP somewhere in our empire right now. We can hold him (which means we can't generate another one as we fight russians) and wait for a good spot to build FP. IMO Dehli is the most fertile land. But we are a long way from conquering them. Greece is the next most fertile land once all the jungle is chopped. We would want to build another city in the grasslands and put the FP in that. This grabs some unused tiles and create our first ring around the FP: Athens, Sparta Cantpronounce Tlatecolco and Corinth. This means we hit Greece next. Problem is Pharsalos is still really close and its on a defensible island if the AI knows enough to move a troop onto his mine. If we push their capitol to Knosus/Argos and claim Pharsalos in peace neg then maybe we're ok that route.
My vote would be use the leader for Leos, switch current leos to sistines ASAP and attack russia as planned. Rethink leader strat if we grab one against them.
