I played 10 turns this round. For most of it I was in a golden age - thanks!
I set research on Sci Meth. The only remaining pre-req for communism, which should be god-like on this map. Whip harbour (Tlat), Theatre (Pamplona), Uni (Tiwanaku). Trade for nationalism from Louis for RP (he's the only AI that lacks this tech).
On turn 1 the french captured Brighton, turn 2 they got Dover. Turn 4, whip grocer in Tlat to let us hire some more merchants. Turn 5 Louis finally gets the balls to ask us this:
Sure Louis, we'll do that for you .
I use our scientist to build an academy in Moscow, which has a base commerce of 75. Kublai has enough on his hands, I shuffle nervously in my seat.
Turn 7, all is hunky dorey because Kublai declared on Vicky. We are immediately up to cautious, so I open borders with him and trade our spare corn for his silk.
On the way to Nottingham (Colossus city), I kill this stack, losing 2 catapults and a cannon:
Our troops are still healing from this.
Turn 8 Kublai captures Newcastle. But we take Canterbury, lost the screenshot.
I founded a city here:
Obviously I rename it to Cori. It can work the oasis and the coastal tiles, should be an OK city. Better than that city of Canterbury I just took anyway.
On turn 9 I gave chemistry to Louis for Economics and revolted to free market. I have no idea why, because we're going to state property once we get communism . That's 2 turns of anarchy we'll never get back. Beg 820 gold from Louis. Hastings falls to Mongolia.
It's now a 3-way race for who can carve up England fastest. Let it be us!
Think globe theatre should go in Madrid.
Save is here, mike p is up now!
