1. 1235 AD
Djenne finishes monastary, begins missionary.
Theatre built in Kumbi. Start on missionary.
2. 1240 AD
Guilds is finished. Start work on Banking. (We are back in 1st Place)
Shaggy starts work on work boat (we have optics, so we can now harvest
the whales).
Market finished in Angle. Start on Monestary.
Besancon founded north of Djenne, by Nappy. Hmmm.
HC now has Banking (we are researching it). He also has Theology.
Are we catching up, or falling behind?
Hatty has music/theo, some just have theo, and a few seem
to be our equals (Toku/Monty).
Farms have sprung up everywhere, all over our lands (thx liq). If I took a screenshot,
you could see it.
3. 1245 AD
Jewish Temple built in Naggy. Start on Granery.
Worker finished in Goa, start work on Jewish Monastary.
Harkuf (the Great Merchant), born in Timbuktu. Will hang onto him for
the SG to debate about his uses.
We are in first place, Monty is catching up quick.
* I've been thinking about dropping a settler west of Kumbi. There is a
lot of empty space there, and I'd rather us have a town gaurd the mountian
pass, than have Saladin place a city there. *Debatable*
5. 1250 AD
Theatre constructed in Walata (yay),
start work on Granery (was in que)
Banking due in 4. (Still in 1st place)
6. 1255 AD
Djenne finishes missionary, starts on walls. (Defense for wonder-town)
Djenne's missionary heads to walata.
Monestary finished in Angle, start on Missionary.
7. 1260 AD
Timbuktu finishes Maceman, starts monestary.
I leave the maceman unpromoted, fortified in Timbuktu.
Moving a horse archer to Angle, just to give it some extra protection.
Move a horse archer from Shaggy, back to pigpen for same reason.
(Both cities were defended by a pair of units).
Hinduism spread to walata.
We are now #2 in land area, still #6 in population.
Banking due in 2. (Looking forward to it)
Cyrus is now in 1st Place. Dropped to #2, monty is right behind.
HC now has engineering. What's with that guy?
8. 1265 AD
Monestary finished in Gao. Start Globe Theatre (38 turns! Need to chop like I've never chopped before)
Walls finished in Djenne. Start on longbowman.
Missionary finished in Kumbi, start on Market. (it has 2 commerce, losing
six to maintenance). It will need chops too, and a bank will be nice.
It looks like Hatty may try for war.She has a Swordsman northwest of Shaggy, and refuses to talk to us.
Saladin also has a caravel in our waters, and he is annoyed with us too.
I promote Shaggy's skirmisher & swordsman to Longbow & maceman to counter this threat.
Banking due next turn!
9. 1270 AD.
Banking discovered!
Start work on Theology (quick 4 turns)
Everyone else has it, and it allows Theocracy.
Back in first place. *booty shake*
Maceman fortifies in Shaggy, allowed a promotion too, he already has city attack I & II.
Workers begin chopping the heck out of Gao, to gain that wonder.
It will be pure luck if we get it in time.
Hinduism spread to Nagasaki.
I must turn down research to 70%, but now that banking has arrived
I expect the coins to start rolling in.
Quite surprised that Anjar hasn't been feeling the squeeze for a while.
It has only lost one tile to our cultural pressure. Hmmm.
Pigpen is now a pigsty. Barracks taking a while, requires an aquaduct.
We are now 5th in population, we are gaining on them.
IBT: Alex drops by for a visit. Yo, wassup?
He wants to know if we will trade with him, open borders?
I always liked you Alex! (It was Scowler who was bad mouthing you)
Heh heh.
Open Borders with Alex.
(Mostly I agree, so we can convert this little warmonger to our cause.)
10. 1275 AD
Walata finishes granery, starts on walls.
Hinduism spreads to shaggy.
Gao gets a chop, Global Theater due in...26.
Start worker on building a watermill, Gao needs more hammers.
Other worker started chop to North East.
Just remembered Global Theater is a national wonder, D'uh!
Okay, so maybe it isn't as urgent as I thought.
