After Action Report:
Well, frustrating turn set. I should have waited and built up some Cats and Trebs before attacking. They are now beginning to appear, so we can attack Sumer. Akshak was a nut I couldn’t crack as I lost everytime I tried to attack there. We remain strong versus Sumeria.
Finally managed to pillage his Iron and then found out he must have another source as he doesn’t want any during the peace neg’s.
Invention is widely available but no one will trade, at the moment. The Maya are annoyed with us and the only thing I can think of is that when we traded them Spices and Iron the trade route was cut by our war with Sumeria as they are not at war with anyone at present.
EDIT - BTW - I didn't think the screenie capture worked, but it did. I'll do better next time. I expected it to ask me a question about where to store it, but it just does it. I found the file after my set.
