Here is the status of the German empire
Our Magnificent Empire
The World as we can best make out
A highlight of our northern borders.
Charlemange is a bit close and I may be losing one of those gems if we don't fix things there.
Berlin
I did switch to representation but NOT slavery. We do not need to whip monuments or Barracks and we have enoguh hammers not to waster population. Also those slave revolts are a killer in a wonder building capital.
Hamberg
Powergraph numbers, not bad we are improving as we buils axes
Doing very well in GNP and production
But we already have 2 AIs we need to declare war on
So here is whjere we are at
Iron is in Berlin and gives us extra production and prime military through the midle ages.
We have 4 wonders so far which gives us
1/2 a creative leader (stonehenge)
Financial leader for worked sea tiles.
Early representation which no other AI gets until constitution.
Free metal casting which gets us forges ALOT earlier than any other AI.
We got out first GP )a prophet) which was settled in Berlin.
Overall a very good start, 4/6 wonders, 2 solid production cities, access to marble, access to all early military resources, and blocked off AIs.
Now where to go from here and I need some advice
1) Religions: Ragnar is Jewish; hammarabi is Hindu, and the vile Justinian is Buddhist. Almost all of my cities are Jewish. Ragnas is THE most agressive of the AIs yet and Charlemange (Hindu but has Jewish cities) is right on my northern borders. Suggestions???
2) Military. Lot's of it. The culture from wonders tend to be a slight protection from AIs but also attracks them like magnets. We have to cut the science slider a bit, so be it. We have representation so a hybrid SE and sea economy may be fine for a while.
3) Techs: OK, we got all the worker techs done which is when I saved the game. Now I say we hit Writing/Aesthetics/Polytheism/Literature. After that Mathematics for the hanging gardens, then fill in the economy with Currency and CoL (chichen Izta).
4) Expansion: Like I said maybe 1 more city to settle. When and if do we go after the other AIs? No way we can keep anymore cities until Currency and CoL. I am fine going to war early or waiting all the way until the Panzer world (DIE Justinian DIE).
Looking for all and any advice.
