kill 7 units on their borders. Holding back as they only have two towns. This means Paris will have 20 units or there abouts I am sure. Orleans may only have 3 or 4. With only two towns they had few structures to build.

GA is over now so the pre for the ToE is delayed.
Going to do this differently. Normal would be to take AT and Elec for the free ones. Here I need to get transports, so I am going to do Ind and take Corp and Refine. I have to slow the pre a bit to time it. I have been making galleons for upgrades.

1610AD
