With our cheap libraries, they just might... if the Inca don't attack first...

[Paddy]

indeed

Well, the turns have begun ...

AD 930: Houston, we have ... Houston. Apparently the strategy works well, as the natives of Houston have joined our cause rather than the Incan.

AD 950: Spain declares war on us, kills a spearman. Ooh, scary.

AD 970: (You'd never know it was 10 years a turn - only alternate turns are interesting) We discover Astronomy. Most people know it or don't care, but Sumerians trade us gunpowder for it, and the Americans, chivalry. Everyone else knows it already. Get to work on Chemistry, since banking is also somewhat widely available. Other option would have been navigation ... nah. Not when we're back enough in tech - we need to get through this age quickly, and by 'get through' i mean get cavalry and then heavy cavs ...

AD 980: Sumeria allies with Spain against us. We lose Sardica on the first turn, though we take a longbowman with us. Redeployment of forces begins.

AD 990: We give Inca 27gp to stop harrassing us. Seemed like a good idea ...

AD 1010: Back to 1 every 2 turns, I guess. Spanish start pillaging with Conquistadores; will take care of that right away. Giza deserts to our side!

AD 1020: Took Agade. Lost Nicea to a conquistador attack. Will retake.

AD 1040: Retook Nicea. Made peace with Spain for 80gp. Sold them iron (which they don't really need, with conquistadors) for 45gpt, which we do really need.

AD 1070: In my last turn, Erech is taken from the evil Sumerians! One more city to take and they're off the continent for good, and perhaps we can make peace with the foreign devils, er, Sumerians ...

[snoopy369]

The Empire of the Byzantines ...

[snoopy369]

And our score ...

[snoopy369]

And finally, demographics.

Good luck, (insert-successor-name-here). Apologies for the lack of tech lead ... but I did what I could Inca and Spain just kept advancing tech faster than I could, even when trying to get techs they didn't have ... *sigh*

The 1796 diplomacy screen

Well

This was a little more enjoyable this go around.

This is what I found us with and like the perverbial Ice Berg..it was only the tip of troubles to follow

[Grandpa Troll]

The 1796-1798 War & Peace recap

ok

we found ourselves at war with England,France and the Celts.


This soon mushroomed as a coalalition grew as the Zulu joined in.

India-Celtic and Celtic-Ottoman all forged alliances against us.
