Increased our free units by 11 and the civic for vassalage only costs us 5, plus we get the experience bonus which is nice.

[Felan]

Continuation to my turn ...

Demanded all of Spain's gold in tribute, not much but it's 50 gold we have and they don't.

Trade 1 of 3 incense to Mao Zedong for 2 gp a turn. The excess doesn't benefit and if a better deal can be found then take it.

Trade Civil Service to Kublai Khan for Machinery.

Here is the save.

Lovely.

EDIT: Playing now.

1235 AD -- not much to do, really. But I am seriously considering a switch to Beaurocracy. Our military is strong as it is, and the boost we could get in DC would be enormous (even more wonders...). I will do it if we fail to build Angkor Wat (which would mean some AI has a wonder-builder city we need to overtake).

[Modo44]

1240 AD:

• Guilds researched, starting Engineering (for Hagia Sophia, and its 1-turn Roads in combination with the Serfdom civic ).
• Drama to Saladin for 160 Gold.
• Music to Kublai Khan for Optics.
• Adding Caravels to build queues...
• I wanted to declare war on Isabella, but then I saw we can upgrade our mounted force to Knights. Research temporarily switched off.
• Catapult done in Atlanta, Courthouse started.
• Catapult done in Cletusville, Courthouse started.

1250 AD:

• Isabella asks for Machinery. Very funny, but no.
• In return, I demand 3 gpt from Isabella. She agrees.
• Longbowman done in New York, Christian Monastery started.
• Third Horse Archer upgraded to a Knight.

1255 AD:

• Forge done in Philadelphia, Christian Missionary started. We still have some time to use religion for culture...
• Longbowman done in Boston, Caravel started.
• Fourth Knight ready. I think we can restart research now...
• Theatre done in Seville, Walls started. Just in case.
• Clam sent to Julio for 3 gpt.

1260 AD:

• Julio asks for an Alliance against Germany. I say no.
• Frederick asks for an Open Borders treaty. I say no again, so as not to make Julio unhappy with us.
• Units move out towards Najing. No war yet, as the borders have moved conveniently.

[Modo44]

1265 AD:

• Angkor Wat done in DC , Grocer started.
• Courthouse done in Cletusville, Grocer started.
• War with Spain.
• Horses to Saladin for 3 gpt.
• Clam to Mansa Musa for 3 gpt.

1270 AD:

• Christian Monastery done in New York, Courthouse started.
• Caravel done in Moscow, Harbor started.
• Nanjing captured (lost one Crossbowman, destroyed 6 Spanish units).

1280 AD:

• Walls done in Seville, Courthouse started.
• Units moving towards Barcelona.

1285 AD:

• Mao declares war on Isabella. I guess he would like a piece of the cake.
• Christianity spread to Nanjing.

And that is it, 10 turns are over. America, 1285 AD:

[Modo44]

We are pretty powerful.

[Modo44]

There is only one more demographic that we are not leading. Make it happen.
