Well done, Bede. Good thing to attack those cheeky Russian forces. And the scouting of Moscow gives me good estimation on when to attack .
One thing we have to change is our promotions. The axes now have frequently City Raider promotions and the swords have Combat promotions. In view of their characteristics it's better to swap them.
Plan now: full on military in order to capture Moscou and Yakutsk
50AD turn 0
not much to rearrange really
research set to 0% to get money for upgrade Helio warrior
set Petersburg to work the cow
order sword near Yakutsk to go to Petersburg

Memphis axe -> sword
Petersburg: catapult -> axe
Archer near Helio to Helio for MP

95AD turn 3
Moscow defending: 6 archers, 1 spear, 1 chariot, 1 axe
Moscow attacking: 5 axes, 3 catapults, 4 swords
catapults have reduced Moscow’s defenses to 12%
Petersburg axe -> archer
IBT: the Moscow axe and chariot have left Moscow and gone 2 N
I expect them to attack Petersburg and decide not to attack them but to defend Petersburg. Petersburg is on a hill, has 20% culture defense and defending it makes the archers useful.
