I agree with Obormot. Moreover his plan already started to be carried out!

That's what I said is not started. It can be changed immediately without any losses.

Cover promotion has benefit while attacking Archers beyond cities...
Scientists in Kyoto could be moved to Water after 2-d GS will be born.

The axe is necessary for us against axes (barbs or Spain), not archers.
More correctly "Shock". Not right?

I promoted him against archers to capture Yayoi faster. First time I wanted to capture city in 2 turns but then change my mind.

Not full stop! Some turns 0% (~10 after Caravels builded) - some turns 100%.Lexad said:

I have understood it. Why was builded axe? Sword is better.Cat Behemoth said:

All swords are now heading to Barselona and Madrid. The worker should join that group and try to bait archers from those cities. Madrid is on a hill and has 50% culture defense. So just 4 swords may not be enough, even with 2 promotions. Actually I wanted to send a couple more swords north, just in case. Latter swords should indeed go to Cordoba and Seville.
Stopping research temporarily won't slow down our research at all in the long run, because we are very far from 100% research, so no research now means faster research afterwards. But if we start researching the wrong tech now we'll loose a lot of beakers. I think we can meet most of AI civs very soon by caravells from Kyoto. We have seen some civ's borders and other civs are likely to be on that same continent, so relatively soon we'll be able to tell which techs we can trade and which techs we have to learn ourselves.

Because we will use Scientists in Edo during science = 0% we must choose tech in any case. How about Alphabet?
Yes, Alphabet sounds best. It's not a big deal though, only 2 scienists (7 beakers).
BTW, there is nothing heard from Ptitsa for a while, and akots also seems to be away (he said he might need a skip). We need to sort out the roster and decide who plays next.

Nothing of much interest happened during the turnset. The next player should capture Madrid and Cordoba, explore with the caravels, and continue improving our lands. Forests are almost all gone, so next is cottages where needed, and mines.
And I'd say, great turnset! No copper, advantage near Madrid.
Bismark has GLighthouse...
Btw, of 7 fight you had, only 2 required City Raider Cover is the way! Also, the barb galley actually can't get to our fishes...
I'll write my plan later, perhaps tomorrow.So far I'm thinking of employing a scientist in Kyoto and rushing Alphabet to trade with Bismark and whoever he got Confucianism from. Also, for rushing GS under castes I would've irrigated 1 grass near Edo to get food for 4, not cottaged.
