1400AD (0): Good to go. Now the going just needs to be good.
IT: Guimeraes: Walls --> Worker. The Portugese land a longbow next to Nicaea.
1405AD (1): Like, nothing.
IT: Nicaea: Courthouse --> Aqueduct
Varna: Courthouse --> Aqueduct
1410AD (2): Bombard a Portugese ship pair. Redline and kills a Portugese Rifleman.
IT: Constantinople: Cathedral --> Cavalry
1415AD (3): Bombard another Portugese Galleon. This is getting nowhere. Cuimeraes expands its borders.
1420AD (4): Nothing happened. At all.
IT: Dromons witness an attack on Lagos.
1425AD (5): Send cavs up to cherry-pick.
IT: Cataragea: Courthouse --> Marketplace
1430AD (6): Sink a galleon with bombardment.
Decide to take a chance. Battle of Lagos:
Vet cav defeats conscript Rifle, losing one hp.
Vet cav defeats conscript Rifle, losing two hp.
And... Lagos is ours!
Yay, I love cherry-picking.
My mouse has suddenly decided not to work in civ.
Save and load the game and it's good as new.
IT: Guimeraes riots!
1435AD (7): Note that Sumeria has taken two Eastern Portugese cities.
IT: Constantinople: Cavalry --> Cavalry
1440AD (8): Portugese Galleon bites the dust as two dromons score back-to-back double hits.
1445AD (9): Destroy another Galleon. This one was in Lisbon.
IT: The only two spare Riflemen the Portugese have attack our cav stack on a mountain, and win once.
Lisbon is rioting.
1450AD (10): Move the cavs back into Lagos.
Here's the plan:
1) City on blue dot.
2) Colony where it says "colony here".

3) Incoming Crusaders can try to cherry-pick Lisbon. Land them next to Lisbon and wait until the Sumerians launch an attack on the city. Most likely they will fail and we get a weakened city.
