t210
- Switch Hanni to Caste. Spy survives.
- Bulb Optics.
- CF Brennus
- We adopt Nationhood+Slavery
- whip caravel
t211
- Hannibal captures Tarsus. Tarsus is on a hill and now only defended by knights. Should be easy to raze when we DoW Hanni. No, he has too many (injured) units in Sal's culture near Khurasan.
- Gilga founds Isin near the BrEast cows. Our units teleport to Mecca's gems as planned.
- Darius gets MT. Doesn't matter. He has no iron or Gunpowder.
- Wine to Brennus for 8 gpt
- Dye to Gilga for 4 gpt
- 3 rifles in Vienne still, 1 Gue2 rifle in Bibracte.
- Utica has 3 defenders, Carthage is defended by 2 Grens, 1 musket, 1 lb, 1 cat
- We are still (barely) making money at 0% slider, since our units are mostly within our culture. That should change next turn.
t212
- our Brennus spy gets caught
-
- We catch a spy in Bovino
- 1 gren and the cat in Carthage leave the city, but not the peninsula. That's one less unit with fortification bonus.
- Hanni's Great Merchant walks towards Brennus. We can kill him this turn or next turn, after we declare war.
-
Medina razed without losses. Zara is dead. Perfect timing. I was running out of cities to draft from.

- Not much more to report this turn. We spot a Hannibal stack north of Khurasan that could attack Persepolis or Pasargarde in a few turns. Although with only 4 trebs, it will probably take him forever to bombard castle walls.
- Some more units move into our territory. Some workers are disbanded. We're no longer losing money.
t213
- Bovino's barracks destroyed by enemy spies.
- another spy caught near Damascus
- HaGift finishes a LB
- Carthage is defended by 1 grens, 2 muskets, 2 LBs
-
DoW Hanni
- kill GM
-
Raze Sicca. 2 cuirs die with ~70% odds.
-
Raze Sardis. No losses.
-
Raze Tarsus. No losses.
- We can look into Tolosa. 1 rifle, 3 LBs, 1 pike.
- Hanni's stack seems to be headed towards Pasargarde.
- Brennus settled Isurium NE of Tolosa (fur river). Defended by 2 rifles, 1 cat, 1 WE. At least it's on flat land.
- Utica is defended by LB, pike, sw. It has built a settler.
t214
- Our Hanni spy gets caught.
- HaGift revolts. The LB is at half health. Do we have any more use for it? This would be a good opportunity to raze it.
-
We raze Kerkouane. 5 cuirs die.
- We kill a pike+settler between Kerkouane and Utica.
- We land near Carthage. Only 3 defenders this turn, but I expect some more to return.
- Brennus re-settling the fur spot means that our cannons from Lali can't be dropped off at Tolosa-N. They can attack from Tolosa-NE, but that means that the Verlamion attack might be delayed by 1t. Still only 1 rifle in Tolosa.
- Brennus re-settled the Durno site. I move a cuir to look into the city. It is empty. I'd love to declare war now and raze it, but it is too early. Our Tolosa galleys would be threatened by a caravel, and I don't think we can afford to lose any units there.
-
Raze HaGift.
t215
- Gilga is teching RP (9)
- Hanni builds a caravel in Carthage.
3 defenders. Should be doable, even with my luck.
-
Carthage razed. We lose 3 Cuirs.
-
Utica razed. No losses.
Stopping for the night. We need to plan out the Darius war. He has an awful lot of units, even in his northern cities.
