Turn 0 (750BC)
*We're running no science... we don't really need math do we? I mean... why do we need to throw stones when our house is fragile enough as it is.
hehehe... Going to turn sci up to min. 35 turns is better then 0 turns.
*About joining workers into Antium. We can't yet. Or at least not more then 1 worker. Otherwise the city will start to starve.
*Going to send settler to a location 1nw of the spices. This will expand veii's and cumae's borders as well as making it a coastl city. With a temple it will also be able to pull in a fish.
It's RCP-7 for ya Denyd.
*We are VERY backwards. I usually start to wimper and cry in solo games this bad... j/k... maybe.
*Believe it or not all of our core cities can grow to size 12. very nice placement of rivers by MB.
*How much longer on the GA? Who do I declare on? oh yes, Russia declared on us so we're in the free and clear until 450.
*Going to leave Cumae and Pompeii unhooked to keep producing Warriors. If it's cheaper to build legionaries, please let me know? I think PTW is still cheaper to upgrade then build. MM both of them a bit to even things out. Slow Cumae from 5 to 10 turns in growth, it's size 3. Pompeii, size 2 I MM to get growth in 7 and change it from a 3 turn warrior factory to a 2 turn factory, same as Cumae. They should both even at around size 6 or so, but by that point our GA will be gone and this won't be an issue.
IBT

Turn 2 (710)
vet archer takes out regular archer near Athens. take 1 dam
even joins Antium Takes out 6 turns. I think I can squeze another worker into Antium. Have a nice size stack of Legions near Antium, ready to Take out Chartres and march northward. The Greeks are falling fairly quickly, and should be able to take Athens soon.

Combat Calculator says we'll have a 32.3% chance of taking out the vet hoplite with our elite Legionary. Goes down to 22% with our vets. That's because he's forted on a hill. That will have to be our last city to take I'm afraid. I'm going to keep moving north.
We may want to think about limiting assults until we can get some catapults going. That's the only way to win AW. bombard, bombard, bombard!

I strongly suggest we use the next settler to claim the spices and horses to our SW (1 tile NW of the spices, on the coast, would be great). We could use another lux and some fast moving troops. Also, the location specified will bring another BG into Veiis area which can be worked to allow the city to continue to be a 4T settler pump after the GA ends.
