Delayed by Little League draft.....

Play tonight.
Little league is now professional enough to have a draft!???!? Wow. I don't know how teams were picked when I was younger although my dad was almost always a coach for my team. Aaah the memories......

The draft keeps one team from having all the sticks and pitchers.
 
After deciding that war with England made little sense AORN enjoyed two hundred peaceful years of building and trading.

Made peace with the Aztecs and traded luxuries with them and the English to keep everybody happy while we built courthouses and libraries and once Currency was learned marketplaces.

Researching Feudalism at the fastest possible rate after the barbarian uprising, absorbed at Harlingen with the loss of only 20 gold pieces. I had spent the treasury down rushing some building projects and opening a couple of embassies.

Built a few more towns.

Started the Statue of Zeus in Rotterdam now due in 4.

The Hague will make a nice FP location with lots of commerce and shields once its borders expand and it can work the gold hill and gets its grasslands irrigated.

The horses are now connected and with horsemen, Ancient Cavalry, archers and catapults we will have a nicely balanced force to rumble through England once the deal for Incense expires in ten turns.

When Amsterdam finishes its settler start producing horsemen.

There is a settler at the Hague and here is a spot for him:

And there is a settler under the archer so build right where they stand:

Why are there English troops tromping through Den Helder in your 2nd screen shot? Where are they going? What kind of force is it? just warrriors or settlers included?
 
Wandering warriors heading for home. They were originally aimed at the barb camp in the mountains by Amurrica. No squatters in the bunch.

1- settle in place near Abe Enschede > harbor.
Lizzie's bunch keeps heading north. i shadow them with an archiebald

IBT - Abe "excercises" some troops (3 spears + 1 archer)

2- Amsterdam settler > settler, i demand his apology and he runs to the corner, crying :D
lower sci to 40 now. feud in 6 @ -12.

IBT - lizzie's pack goes back south.

3- Hague harbor > galley, Bedehoven horse > horse,
London takes the lighthouse > Aztecs switch to GLib.
built Tilburg > granary

4- Rotterdam SoZ > horses, Eindhoven rax > horse,
AZtecs now have feud (Sun's build)

IBT Seattles volcano erupts. groovy.

5- keep the routine with Abe.

lower again to 10% with a whooping +50gpt. due in 1.

i also start the FP there.
Hague galley > horse, Loowersoog worker > cat,

8- Washington worker > worker, Bedehoven horse > horse, Atlanta worker > spear, Den Helder worker > cat,
build Zwolle in the midlands. rename it to MosquitoVille.

9- Amsterdam horse > horse, New amsterdam worker > worker, Eindjoven horse > horse,
first AC is in. in a shameless Ego boost i rename him Lizzy's Soul.

10- chicago riots and gets a taxman.

i moved all horses up north.
there are 5 english grunts in the Washington-Atlanta-Enshede area. with garrisons, 2 horses and Lizzie's soul to counter.

Coventry has 4 cats, 2 horses and 4 archers ready to strike. a few more horses enroute.
Der Helder has a worker clearing the jungle. so we can steal english water for our eastern part.
deal with lizzie should expire momentarily.
since we only really need is that iron, limit our war aims to Warwick-Coventry-Liverpool as phase one? then reassess our situation?

save me, lizzie
 
MM looks good. A little too domestic on the builds, but no big deal.

Recon: tell Lizzie to leave. she does. cancel incense deal. change delft to settler. declare on Liz. Capture 2 slaves at Coventry. Change soulwerd to settler.

IT: Lizzie grabs 2 of our workers. Riot in Washington. Scroll ahead and bring in the clowns.

70: Boot Abe. kill the worker grabbing warrior. Cats go 1-4 @ Coventry. Swell. 4/4 archer knocks down 2/3 spear at coventry. We own it. Gilligan starts a 3 hour GH tour. MM to optimize horse production. up lux.

IT: Aztecs have Eng. Swell.

110: build Den Rower. Gilligan disturbs Jute warrior. Skipper whacks Gillagan with hat.

IT: Monte finishes Glib. Swell

130: Gilligan returns to the Minnow.

IT: Smoke building Sun Tzu.

170: Plant Dordrecht

190: Gillagan touring. Igor fall overboard. Ginger uses natural floatation to rescue him. Maryann uses mouth to mouth to revive him. Igor's blood flow goes off the charts.

IT: FP done.

210: Cats go 2-4 at Warwick. Threaten to throw shaman if they can't do better. Take warwick after Lizzie's Soul kills spear and horse takes out RL pike. AC kills MDI. Gilligan distrubes angry vandals. Skipper tells Ginger to let him sink. Igor and Maryann sign pre-nupt.

IT: Eng > Inv.

230: Gillagan reboards, slips Skipper a mickey, recalibrates professor's insturments. Course set for south pole. Trade Patch. Feud for Monarchy.

250: stop early, cede a turn to next player. We can get mono. from Lizzie for Feud. Do we want peace now? Do we want to rush a pike and fire up the GA before doing that? Will let the team decide. No pix. We have Warwick and Coventry and the cities I planted, but the map isn't that different. Next player needs to start Leo prebuild. I forgot.

Good show. Sounds like we only need Liverpool and life's good.
You got something against Mr. McGoo and Lovey?
 
Got it. May be able to finish tonight, but most likely will wait until tomorrow morning.

I think we should continue attacking Lizzie. We have no WW yet, from what I can see, and we are in a good position with lots of troops. Might as well finish her off, or at least kick her off the island.

As for whether we want our GA now, I don't care either way. Now might be a good time with all the wonders coming up, and since we almost have control of our continent, we could trigger our GA at the end of the war and have a 20 turn building period.

As for the prebuild, should I switch Rotterdam from market (3 turns left) to Leo's? Sun Tzu's would only take 28 turns there, so Leo's would take the same. Rotterdam is our best production city.
 
I agree. Let's go for the GA. How are the flip chances in the formerly English towns?
