Good question. Maybe this is an example of why we are going to win...

Just got a pm from Vox:

Ghengis - this is acceptable to us. I have just played the turn and accepted contact with Neu D, for contact with GS, Mysticism, and 15 gold. You agree to send us mathematics in two turns when completed.

Thank-you for this deal. I am certain it will benefit both our fine nations. Please stay in touch regarding other potential deals. And we wish all the best in your struggles with Lux Invicta.

Regards... and Cheers... Beta.

Sacrificed worker to connect Horses now, Imperial City will build a Horseman next turn and Camp Cod will finish one the following turn.

Upgrade to Palace, I went with the European style as that seemed more Warmongery.

Sent GS opening trade offer of Horseback Riding and will see what they counter offer, sent Mysticism to ND, they said they will send us Mathematics next turn.

Our Vox Warrior is 4 turns from attacking the Lux capital.

Built another Veteran Horseman and moved towards the front. Spearman heading back to Trafalgar (Nanking) after looting Barb village.

If we build the two cites to the south of Imperial City and drag this out a little we may have a better chance at getting a Great Leader.

If we get one I would propose using it for an Army immediately and winning a combat to allow construction of the Heroic Epic. Then disbanding the Army to assist in the building of a Wonder.

An excellent plan, should we win the leader lottery.

I had suggested this too, and Trip seems willing......

If we get a leader, we should use it to rush a wonder. We need to realize humans are unpredictable enough that we shouldn't tempt fate.How many mistakes have been made already by teams guessing elsewise?

As cheap as the first set of Wonders are, disbanding an army pretty much builds them.

We get to trigger the ability to build the Heroic Epic AND build a Wonder by using the first one to build an Army.

Remember that an empty army is valued at 400 shields.
That's half the cost of the Colossus, Great Wall or the Heroic Epic (which will increase our chances of generating more Great Leaders).
A third of the cost of The Hanging Gardens, the Lighthouse, or the Oracle.
And a quarter of the construction cost of the Pyramids or the Great Library.

Interesting point. I think it will be a while until we can build the FP, which is the best wonder until at least the Industrial Age. If it comes to that, I still think we should use the GL to build the Pyramids. We can spend the other 300 shields elsewhere, and wait with the HE.
