All AIs have iron so France has a spare.
For sure.I think we can trade him our whale even when he doesn't have optics.
But it might not come down to needing +1 resource trades
Ah. good. So if France won't cooperate, we could raze Tours and Sal should quickly get 2 iron.All AIs have iron so France has a spare.
Question becomes: Can sushi make up the difference? Let's assume the AI would let us save liberalism for Industrialsim (10,000), but we 'wasted' it on Medicine.
We should be able to get, let's say 14-ish resources. If the AI does the same, we could get 10 extra from each AI That's 74 = 37 food/city.
Even at 60 (30 food/city).
Is it time to re-evaluate the war against SB?
Now we can calculate the steady-state population limit after sushi. Research will be slower than we had expected.
Thing is with conquest, it can drag out. Kind of nice to wipe most out asap. Especially if they’re useless. I guess SB has a bit of sushi.Ahh, if we can get Iron, we can make lots of Drydocks and Privateers.
Get xp that way without war.
Or maybe just invade Charlemagne.
To attack SB, a Friendly AI
United Nations or Conquest right?It's time for final answer on VC.
Right. Iron finally lets us see Cuirassiers in our future. Probably no reason to bother with siege. Can you tell I'm leaning towards Conquest?United Nations or Conquest right?
Seems like overkill.I vote conquest.
It is more fun and probably faster.
Cuirs, Cannons, Airships, and Drydocks.
Perhaps a few Frigates.
This unit rarely crosses my mind either (until GotM 197)Perhaps a few Frigates.
Clever. But if we can get away with horse + deer for iron (or something like that). Let's take the easy way.For the iron trade, we can buy iron with gpt+ deer -> upgrade treb/ trireme-> pillage deer road. Eiffel can do something similar. OF-buy iron build Eiffel-next turn pillage.
