But beware of the effect of outdoor units on unhappiness : don't concentrate triremes on the same home city, and avoid embarking units others than diplos or caravans !

every trireme is connected to a different city(as are the other exploring units...1 horsemen and 1 (NONE IIRC) crusader and a legion(NONE?) )

Well, with gunpowder we can kick some bootay whether or not we have many units.

It's a plan. Those Barb Horse that have shown up in the area twice now have killed 2 Phalanx, a Warrior, and a Horse (all fortified) in Saragossa, and Avila has better production than Saragossa. I don't want to accidently build anything more expensive than a Phalanx (in case I forget to keep checking on it), but I want to be prepared to Rush a Crusader if they show up again (or a Horse and wait for an upgrade).

We seem to have a Barb Hotspot west of Saragossa. I think we should build a city 2 squares west of the Saragossa corn, to cover the area. You think that might get us some peace? Or we could leave it be to get continuing ransom gold from new Barb leaders. I can go either way...

Not a bad plan..........But couldn't we just use the NON legion unit in Cadiz? then build warrior that will change to musketeer in few turns?

We have Leo's and are close to gunpowder, why arent we building warriors?

Totally agree with that, atawa, so long as we don't overdo it. We don't want to pay more support than we need to as we race to the stars.
