Before I started my turn, I bumped sci up to 80%, now running at -1 deficit, Feudalism due in 13 turns. I note the HUGE mountain range,(the big grey bit on the map), and decide to ignore the 3 civs down there for now. It'd take them a while to get a decent sized force thru those mountains anyway.
300AD
- The russians want our world map + 100 gold for their world map, I change the deal, and sell our world map for 20 gold.
-1 barb horseman appears near buto.
-Note there is lots of roads, but most of them don't have anything else on them. ?? Decide to rememdy this. Then I note we don't have enough workers. WE NEED MORE WORKERS!!!!!!!
-Switch cities building barracks to courthouses. I plan on getting sun tzus, so those barracks won't be needed.
-The hanging gardens in thebes I consider a placeholder for sun tzus. It'll give us a headstart on the wonder, and thebes needs cathedrals, etc, to help its unhappiness. Or, when we get sun tzus there, start pumping out workers.
310AD
-Buto ransacked, lose 24 gold.
-Worker Movement
320AD
-Another barb horse near buto.
-Sell everyone our world map. Apart from 2 gpt from France, and 1gpt from the Chinese, we didn't get much. The odd territory map, and some gold.
-Worker Movement
330AD
-The americans demand our territory map and 43 gold. I accept, as we are NO position for a war.
-Buto ransacked again, 31 gold.
-Most civs are now building the hanging gardens, 2 or 3 are building the great wall.
-More worker movement.
340AD
-Wake the swordsman at Byblos, send it on goto towards Butos. Then I note the barb camp has been disbanded by a zulu swordsman.
I decide to end my turns here, as its taking a couple of mins between turns. I may pull out later, this celeron 433 only just handles my standard map games.
Don't know how it will do on a huge map.
We are first on the histograph by 6 points!
Note to charlihoke, and the players after him. GET LOTS MORE WORKERS!!!!!!!!!!!
We don't have nearly enough.
Imo we should use Thebes to pump them out once it finishes whatever wonder it finishes. I suggest switch to sun tzus once research on feudalism is finished. With this being a pangaea map, I rate it a higher 'get'
rate than the hanging gardens.
Also, use a city with a decent production rate, and a barracks to pump out military. Spearman for now. It would be nice to have at least 2 in every city. Thats about all I can think of right now.
. Anyhow, overall just a ho-hum infrastructure turn, but 10 got robbed SEVERELY towards the end and 2) noticed some AI bullshucks going down.
Hope your concussion gets better sman, and good luck again, I think we'll need all the help we can get to defeat those horseman.
