The Amazon Queen: PArt II
Boudica moves ahead with her plans, to assemble an army to take down the Arabs. But they are protective, and yikes they already have copper and slavery before we even get a road to our copper. What is a Celtic Queen to do???
To start Boudica dictates to research some economy techs first, and the tech order went: wheel/Pottery/Writing/Masonry and start Animal Husbandry.
The Celtic Woman may be impressive with a sword, but her traits and UB leave much to be desired.
The Celtic Huntsman Scout continues to be useful, mapping out nearly all the continent and finding those last few MALE leaders skulking behind corners.
HA! Boudica laugh's at the Mayan civilization, easy picking.
Meanwhile, the Celtics settle their second city
On a hill (We are Celtia afterall!) and calim 4 strong resources early, providing our Sister Cathy does not get too close.
Boudica meets another Males leader
And then meets another Male, er Sister, er, well I don't exactly know but we'll treat them as an enemy.
Now, our Arabian Rivals have been busy, building a few settlers and teching off Monotheism
Gratious me, 2 Holy Cities!!!!!
Boudica Assembles here army through a highly productive Capital and forrest chopping.
Excessive perhaps, but Boudica is NOT one to fool arround.
At the same time we teched writing and
We also opened borders with our three other Sisters including Isabella, hoping whe sends us a few Buddhist Missionaries.
The Celtic Army attacks Mecca first, looking to cut Saladins empire in half.
We have the Hindu holy city but chose NOT to adopt Hinduism. Hell, with being charismatic and access to gold, we don't need it. The Holy City also get's +5 culture so borders popped fast.
Next we took Damascus pretty easily.
At this point things went so well that the Celtic capital starting building a library.
The final hammer blow falls on the city of Medina
So sal was protective, had copper in his capital BFC and hooked up, yet was clobbered by Boudica. Agressive trait rules protective! Also due to the chrismatic trat we have a unit at 13 XP and thus level 5. If we get him better promoted, perhaps we can open up West Point without needed an GG attached to a unit although a medic III unit is a big advantage.
We did some housekeeping, have a good sized treasury, and building some roads. Our empire
And our cities
So there we are. My feeling is that we may have some diplomacy problems being between the backstabbing sisters, but we have some dynamite lands for ealy teching!
So my plans.
1) Library in Capital and run a pair of scientists ASAP.
2) We need some workers.
3) Cottage everywhere
4) Get one more settler north of Vienna to help cut off Cathy a bit. I think she has alot of last to her west to settle.
5) Start expanding North and then NE and NW.
6) Tech towards Currency and CoL very fast, even before Iron Working and access to the UU.
So how is our Mighty Amazonian Celtic Queen doing!
, so don't stop using it, you are pursuing a domination victory, so the economy should only be a means of supporting domination, techs will not be too important for two reasons.
