[PBEM]Civ4 Succession Game #1: Rome

[Cado]

1430 : The state of our Roman Empire:



and the save.

[John-SJ]

Rather than try to influence the direction of other emperors I am just thinking out loud.

If we are not going to continue our conquest at the moment we can afford to mothball a few troops and bring our budget into balance that way. Our palace at Antium is a long way from our nothernmost cities, so our city maintenance must be pretty high. Courthouses would help, as would another palace move. Or, there are (not sure of names, I've only read briefly about them) buildings similar to the Forbidden Palace that we might consider if we are near the tech for it.

We have some interesting choices ahead. Should we puch forward and see if we can control the entire continent? Or at least more of it? Or consolidate and build a solid tech lead before we attempt another expansion?

That's why I am really enjoying this game!

Great work Cado!

[Cado]

So...who's next? Sorry about the anxiousness...I am really enjoying this game.

1440 A.D.

Our scientists have fully researched Theology. I have decided not to take the Theocracy civic for now, even though this would give a +2 XP to all troops produced in a Jewish city I feel that we are better served at the moment by Organized Religion's +25% production.

Antium has just finished work on the Chicken Itza! I have chosen to begin construction on the Heroic Epic that future military expansions may be enhanced.

1450-60:
Infrastructure.

1470:
Gandhi asked to trade us Engineering +20 gold for Guilds. Since they are of equal value and he willingly kicked in the Gold, I understood that he appreciates our superior position. I accepted his offer.

1480:
Infrastructure

1490:
Built Courthouse in Cumae, now building Hagia Sophia for it's benefit while constructing future improvements.

1500:
With the discovery of gunpowder we find ourselves at the dawn of the Renaissance(sp?) era. And this seems like an excellent time to hand over the reigns of power.

So, who will lead the mightl Roman Empire on to its destiny?
