Ok this is going to be long sorry! Learned a lot so want to make sure it gets in.
General Washington paced in his office though for several years thing had looked like they were going well recently they had taken a turn for the worse. Two graneries had been built in NY and Boston later than he would have liked but they were built. Atlanta to the south had fended off a barbarian attack so the horses were safe, though the fact that somehow the barbarians had learned to use arrows was disturbing. Reports came in about the discovery of Hinduism in 425 almost making him laugh how had these messangers missed the earlier ones? Hinduism had been founded hundreds of years ago! The germans had completed a building they called the Parthenon but thankfully the egyptions had found and destroyed the barbarian city. Amazingly though a few turns after they destroyed it and right after they left the area the mongels founded a city in the ruins before an American setteler had any chance of reaching the spot. In 150 B.C. Saldin canceled the OP agreement only to reopen it several years later, Boston built a Barraks and Atlanta built an Obleisk. Both the Mongels and the Eqyptians converted to Judaism and in delight over being show the way the Eqyptians even gave the secrets of Meditation as a Gift! No one else being interested in a fair tech trade the scientists went back to work. Then things began to fall apart, perperations for war with the spanish were going well, but then in 450 AD the Mongels who had been stedfast allies declared War. And immediatly destroyed the only copper mine and gem mine in the empiere. Thankfully some already built spearmen were able to quickly dispatch the strange mongel horse archers and another copper mine was restablished in the empire. Construction and Iornworking were quickly researched and War elephants, swordsmen and catapults quickly brought to bear against the Mongel hordes. Though at a great cost in life and loss of non millitary production. Then when the Mongels only had two cities left things suddenly became a salemate. Somehow the Mongels had developed a strange archer that had to rest his incredibly large bow on the ground but could eaisly kill a swordsmen through his iron armor or an elephant in one or two shots! Who had given this technology to the Mongels? They would soon feel the wrath of the Americans!!

Whoo where to start? Before this I had only played duel size games on continental maps in an effort to ease my way into the game. As such the Barbarians had never founded cities. Does anyone know what determines wether they do or not? One thing I learned is if they do always destory them with overwhelming force ASAP or they will continuly bring out more and more advanced units to harrasses you. As well never move a setteler or settle a city without first scouting the area (right before the setteler moves in ) and with some protection! Loosing a city right after it is founded to barbarians is a BIG blow. Second it doesnt seem to get much to get leaders who haven't developed their own religon to convert to yours. The eqyptaions converted after Judaism naturally spread to their cities and the Mongels after I sent one missionary. The AI also seems to be much better this time around. I've never had as much problem before staying up in the tech race on such a low level. Though if I had built a worker in boston and developed the Gems to the West rather than building the obelisk right away this might not have been as much as a problem. Also since I had explored far with my scouts I had two sources of copper in my empire but I had only developed one of them, this proved to be a mistake because the AI (and even the barbarians) WILL pillage your improvments. They also seem to trade techs among themselves to a much greater extent then I am used to. Again on my duel maps with one AI I was always leap years ahead in tech, here though I got to alphabet first and didn't trade it away it wasn't long until the AI caught up to me and then began to pull ahead. I have yet to figure out how the Mongols got fudalism however especially when I had them down to only two cities... Also even in a conquest strategy using specialists and building a couple of wonders is CRITICAL simply because of Great People. As you may have noticed it is now 1180AD and I haven't had a single one!! This might have solved most of my problems right here. Also I may not sign open border treaties with every civ so redily in the future, not doing so would have prevented the mongels from taking the prime city site away from me..
Other things that happened. After researching Iron working and construction I researched Drama to be able to change my culture rate since I thought happiness might become a problem due to war weariness. It has not and the way has been going on for over 400 years now. Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the fact that I didn't declare the war? Also after switiching to the pryamids I changed to US to speed up production wether this was the right choice or wether I should have used the money to go back to 100 percent research time will tell.
