That said, seeing as how he has copper, and a tundra iron possiblity easily available, we'd better not as it would also mean we share even more borders...anyway, if we're going Khan crushing atp, we'll have enough to do improving those cities well be taking, before heading back to face Shaka with a few cats.
As for the Pyramids forget them. We'll never make it. Take the GS and settle in Boston as an Academy, and spend the hammers cranking out swords instead. A small force should be good enough to blitz 'em IF we start the war next turn set, as I've observed that the computer rarely concerns itself with foritfications/culture when at war, so I think we could catch them flat footed.
I actually played before I read this. Shaka's got libraries in his border towns.
No Bunker in the Hills. I forgettabouted the Pyramids. If the following is too strange, let me know and I'll do a normal report.
The report:
Once upon a time there was an idiot. He found a warrior between Nobamba and uMgungunlovu. The warrior got out into the nether region between the cities and cut a road. There was another warrior; he decided to go for a walk in the Khanate. There was lots of horse dung.
Meanwhile, Antoine Laurent Lavoiser was born and scurried off to Boston for tea, baked beans and some red socks.
The people of New York decided that life on this hill was too mellow and built a barracks so they could train men to go out and riot. They could give these men pointy sticks in case men on ponies proved difficult.
Like a plague, Hinduism spread in Nobamba. Recognizing his inevitable fate, Shaka adopted Hinduism.
The eastern idiot cut another road between Nobamba and uMgungunlovu. Antoine built the Mass. Academy of Technology.
What's an Admiral without a navy? Recognizing the lack of boats, the Philadelphia Naval Yard began construction of Old Iron Oars. Maybe if we were Byzantine, it could belch fire or something?
The smart people finally learn how to write things down for prosperity. Unfortunately, our neighbors declined to share their counting skills for our new trick. Phillistines. The intelligencia decided that we're a bunch of non kultarny baboons; just to mess with them and shut them up, we learned how to throw strange clay vessels on a spinning disc. Then the intelligencia complained that they couldn't comment on whose clay vessels were more meaningful. The geek squad was put to work on learning how to write down their overly verbose commentary. Who really cares to memorialize the saga of the king's men and Humpty, the clay pot they couldn't put together?
Washington's citzens noticed the New Yorkers doing the training thingy with the pointy stick people. They immediately formed a commitee to study the problem. The committee decided to form plow shares into big knives and send them out to party on the Khanate's borders.
After cutting roads in Shaka's nether regions, Shaka borders grew, so the warrior decided to investigate the rumors of ice wines to the south.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Naval Yard diverged from construction of a boat for the admiral to build an axe. This was in response to rumors of Sasquatch wandering around the SW.
The idiot forgot about the workers. Left unsupervised, the workers decided to deforest Boston. One worker deforests faster than the other, being done in 2. the other will be done in three.
The idiot couldn't remember if we was to play 10 or 15 so 15 was played. The were no major disasters, just some idiocy. Shaka is our brother of the faith. We care deeply for him or some such touchy feely emotion. Khan looks pretty weak. He's got that horse farm in his capital so we'll need a few pointy stick guys. Swords are still gathering on his border. Only whipped once in Washington.
