Trades and Techs: If we dont take advantage of MWs now, when will we?
Notice we are behind Every visible tech besides Lit which we have due in 29 (19 at 100% research, too long). Inca is the only civ with CoL and we cant afford it.
Inca, Zulu, and Persia, are up Philo and CoL on India
Purchase Philo from Zulu for 386g and 2gpt.
Purchase The Wheel and 2g from India for 15gpt
We do have Horses between Oil Springs and Salmanca.
Trade Philo and 2gpt to India for HBR and 3g
Our Treasury before trades 387g 19gpt, and now 6g +1gpt
End result, Philo, Wheel, HBR for 381g and 18gpt. Hope I did the right thing, what else to do with this money
France does not have HBR or Math
Notes:
Strange, we are UP writing on France
Enough ogling, nothing we can do to take advantage of this.
Oil Springs is right up against the Indian border. Horses are in Oil Springs immediate borders. Only having read and not played Diety level games I take it this will eventually flip, maybe pointy stick research award goes to India? (they have 14 cities).
France has 13 cities remaining.
Wake Grand River E-Archer and kill French R-Archer in a 2 stack. (1-0)
Change Salmanca to MW in 1. Settler was due in 2, growth in 7
Change Niagara Falls to Settler, grows in 5 due in 5.
Change Grand River to MW.

Thats all Folks!
Theres a Spear near Alegheny, hes going to Fortify there to free up the Archer or E-Warrior.
You have 8 MW and a MW Army (fortified in Grand River 5/14) to start off, Homeland Security consists of 7 Spears and 7 Archers. There are a couple Warriors, 2 Elite even. They just kind of flounder around. There is a R-Warrior that sat in a town my whole set, really wanted to disband him but I spared his life and deemed him Leach-boy.
17 turns left on GA. Lit in 19 at +28gpt. Tech still cost a bunch, nobody will budge.
Of course we need Settlers and Workers as always.

Side Note about RNG, the way the AI trickles troops in it's quite simple to keep it well in the human's favor. Don't get so down on it
