well, this one lasted ~25 turns or so...

As I had the 3 ancient era Religions, and just finished Writing, I needed a fast shot to grab the next few.

there does seem to be some AI trying to gain the religions as well (had to refine my attempts a few times...)

I decided to do the Philosophy Slingshot to make it to Medieval times... Philosophy is a better freebie than Theology, as it's beaker value is much higher (and leads to better techs).

I also decided that Barcelona was in the best position to be our mega-Science city, since it had alot of good cottage area around it, and a food resource. This meant I needed another city to gain the next few religions, since I didn't want any sullying of the GS production.

Hoping that my minimal defenses would last under the pressure of Barbarians, we moved forward with our plans.

Stonehenge is completed in 1360 BC (Madrid). We move directly to the Oracle.

Barcelona starts a Settler at the same time.

Freddy asks for Open Borders but we don't want him going into our area to create new cities quite yet, so we deny him for now.



we pray that our warriors can withstand the tide of barbarians so that we may yet gain more enlightenment to spread across the land.

in 900 BC our Settler sets off to found a new city.

Seville is founded on the ocean near Barcelona in 850 BC. this will net us some rice and fish when our borders expand.

only a few turns later...

in 775 BC we make a major transformation of our culture.

we discover Code Of Laws, which allows us to found Confucianism in Seville!

We complete the Oracle in Madrid!

Our Sages then find an understanding of Philosophy, and found Taoism in Barcelona (unfortunate this, but we will find a way to handle it.)

Our slingshot is complete and we shift focus to Hunting/Archery so that we may post centuries to protect our workers that we'll make soon.

We are now Medieval!

MadDjinn DAR II v2

Prince Level

we continue our previously started goals.

1) found all religions (2 down, 5 to go)
2) found 4 more cities (still need)
3) connect strategic resources
4) find the other AIs (need to found a coastal city and build ships)
5) found Barcelona and Seville in the uber-culture city locations.

...

1480 BC - we found Barcelona. it starts immediately on a warrior for protection.

1440 BC - the secrets on Monotheism are learned. we move on to Priesthood.
- Judaism is founded in Barcelona.
- we switch to Organised religion civic.

1320 - we discover the secrets of Priesthood. on to Mining.

1200 - Mining learned. on to Code of Law.

the barbarians are getting ansy... we send out our first warrior as a guide for our new settler that Madrid produced. Madrid starts on the Oracle.

925 BC - Seville found to the north of Madrid. we'll take advantage of both sides of the river for cottages here.
*note: we need to speed up Settler production as the Germans founded Cologne near Barcelona. if we can't block them from sending settlers past there, then they'll get into the south before we take the good city sites.

the barbarians are coming! we quickly sprint our first warrior back to Madrid for its defence. many barbarian warriors are coming.

725 BC - they come. with only a turn or 3 left before we get to the Oracle and CoL, the barbarians attack! our stalwart defenders of Madrid survive the rush. Our first warrior is seriously wounded! down to 2 HP he settles in on the mountainous forest to heal his wounds and prepare for the next round of fighting. thankfully the barbarians kept attacking across the rivers, rather than crossing it first.

700 BC - a year of grace!
- the barbarian hordes are wiped out!
- Code of Laws is learned. we move to Sailing.
- Confucianism is founded in Seville!
- the Oracle is completed in Madrid!
- We decide that Civil Service would be good for the prophets to learn.
- we switch to Bureaucracy civic.
- Moses is born in Madrid!
- we must decide to either learn Theology, or create a holy shrine in Madrid...

we have become Medieval!
