I think i saved (rescued) the game (i downloaded the save game today and played it today (patch 1,21f). Look what i did:
When the game started (from the 1700s save game posted in this thread) the only city was FREE BABYLON, (the guy that started this game was making a LONGBOWMAN, but i changed it by a wall) then 2 knights and 1 cavalry came and attacked me, then i bombarded them with my cannon, and my musketman managed to defend the 3 attacks.
By that time Babylon was in war against germany and america.
After that attack by those 2 knights and 1 cavalry few turns later i managed to make peace with both germany and america.
Then i was in peace with everyone. Of course they were annoying me demaning me all the time to give them gold. I had to give them what they wanted so they wouldnt declare war against me.
After a while egypt and french units were still in my island. So what i did was give each civ 10 of gold for tribute (so our relationship would get better before asking them to leave my island) and after giving them the gold i asked them to leave my territory, and they accepted without declaring war.
Since the new patch came (1,21f) i saw that making trade was very important to maintain good relationship with other civilizations, sometimes some civs asked me to make mutual protection pacts but i disagree because i didnt wanted to involve in any wars. I saw that i was getting a little of money. So i made a revolution and changed to democracy, of course i built in my city:
(im gonna write each building in other how they were created)
-Temple
-Harbor
-Aqueduct
-Marketplace
-Cathedral
-Granary
-Barracks
-Coastal Fortress
-(right now building a factory)
Of course i was making settlers and riflemen, but i dont remember the exact order, because a war started between the other civs, i made sure to stay away of any wars and stay neutral. Because being neutral i managed to make trades with all the civs because i was starting to get more gold than before, since monarchy doesnt give much gold, but democracy does, so i managed to give them gold per luxuries, and the wars that they were having gave me a chance to build cities in the continent where france, america, egypt and aztecs were fighting their wars.
This were the 2 wars going on:
-France, Germany and Persia VS Aztecs. (aztecs got destroyed)
-Egytp VS America. (america got destroyed)
So in the spaces left by those wars i created 3 cities, where few resources were: 1 iron, 1 furs, 1 wines. I was getting the rest of the resources paying gold to the other civs, in other words, by trade. The only resources that were mine were those 3 previously mentioned and of course the horse that i got in my island, but everyone already have horses so they were not in any trade, althought i wanted to trade that horse in my island by other resource, but all the civs had horses.
Having iron, I searched which civ had coal to trade, and the egyptians had a lot of coal (because they invaded the aztec city that had a lot of coal, in other words that city with many coals were ogirinally an aztec city, but then egypt invaded it), so i payed (i dont remember how much of gold) to egypt, after having the coal by trade and the iron in one of my cities inside the continent, i started building railroads in my island (where free babylon is) since im not able to irrigate any tile in that island i made mines and roads and fortresses in all the tiles of my island plus the railroads with the worker that i build after building the walls in the beggening of the SAVE GAME.
Right now im having good relationships with the rest of the civs, and Free Babylon is 11 of size and having a nice production, right now building a factory.
From the beggening i moved the research to 10% (yes u get 1 civilization advance every 40 turns, but at least ur getting something, i already got like 3 or 4 civ advances like this, which means that i have played like 120 turns, but they were fast because when u have 1 city the game goes faster) and the entertaiment to 20% until i was getting many luxuries that i changed it to 10% or 0% (I dont remember exactly right now).
My plans to the future in case an opponent civ declares war on me, im planning to make lot of artilleries but first i have to research the technology to make them (making a lot of artilleries can help to defend very well, right now i have 3 riflemen and 1 warrior in my island but ill think in something when i continue the game)
I will post here the Save Game of how im doing right now, after reading a lot of u, i think u will like this new SAVE GAME, the date is 1948 (around that) and babylon is having a good relationship with the rest of the civs. After i finish playing the continuation ill post a new resume and a SAVE GAME.
This is the SAVE GAME right now in 1948 almost like 130 turns after the save game posted already.
goodjob
