Emperor games C3C: how to improve your skills

[Mountain Sage]

710BC: economy
No problems here, we can afford a small deficit. Just note that there are no trades/turn yet.

[Mountain Sage]

710BC: military
Our military is weak (but it lokks strong compared to other civs!), but at least we have iron (the Romans have it too…). Now, are we going to upgrade some warriors? Well, since Spain just declared war on us, the matter has been taken out of our hands…

[Mountain Sage]

340AD: The Betrayal
Spain is almost gone, and our lone Javelin Thrower just gave us our GA. Time to build some much-needed infrstructure. But wait! What are those legions doing on our sacred soil? Aaargh! A GA at war!
Delenda est Roma…

[Mountain Sage]

750AD: general
With Rome gone, we are the masters of our continent. This time, we build, build and build…

750AD: economy
Slowly improving from our wars. With Economy and Smith soon, gold will richly flow into our coffers.

[Mountain Sage]

750AD: military
We still are strong compared to all other civs. Unfortunately, this costs us a lot. All those useless spears in our coastal cities are a real pain…

[Mountain Sage]

750AD: research
Ah, the ‘north branch’ again. Smith in the bag in 10 rounds. Then Democracy for trading…

980AD: Bizance had only one city left, thanks to a stupid war with Portugal. This will give us a good opportunity to get a foothold on thir continent.

[Mountain Sage]

1280AD: general
The War of Conquest of Portugal has begun… Home production switched to Cavalry.

[Mountain Sage]

1280AD: economy
Doing well, as usual, thanks to the +320 gold/turns graciously provided by the other civs (well, the ones still alive, that is).

[Mountain Sage]

1280AD: military
WE hope that our 72 Cavalry will prove sufficient.
(In fact, thanks to their relative isolation, Portugal had an awful lot of units).

[Mountain Sage]

1280AD: techs
With ToE and Electronics (which gave us Hoover Dam, of course), we have now a 3-tech lead on the Dutch and China.

[Mountain Sage]

1410AD: The Coalition o the Craven
Ach! Betrayed again!

[Mountain Sage]

1410AD: military
After the conquest of Portugal, we disbanded our military. We were left with 10 Cavalry and the Musketmen on the ex-Portuguise continent and 6 elites + 1 army on ours. Things will become interesting…

1410AD: The Great Invasion
The Chinese would drop 3 more units 3 turns from now, and the French could not find their ships any more, it seems…
