A undefeated Diety players story
Part three

Behold The power of diplomacy.

The completion of The Forbidden City improved The diplomatic relations with all other nations, except The Greek and The Germans as I were at war with these two nations.
These improved relations enabled me to exchange maps with almost every nation in The world, effectively leaving me with a map showing all of The know world to date. This opened up for trade with all foreign nations, thus enabling me to import goods and establish monopolies from foreign goods, ofcause I would have to device a plan to build allot of caravans very fast.
Finally The exchange of maps, created some goodwill from all The nations that I had exchanged maps with, which made it possible to persuade these nations to give me one advance each!
Now I was as advanced as any other nation could be, and I began research on The agriculture revolution. And it wouldn’t take long to make a scientific breakthrough, as I transferred all of The accumulated research from The technology I had been researching up to The point were I received it through diplomacy.
As The my government emerged form anarchy and enacted Theocracy I completed The Hagia Sophia by disbanding some units in The city that were building it, and thereby just beating The others nations to yet another wonder.
The war with The Germans and Greeks were still restricted to sporadic fighting due to lack of productivity, but this contributed to my increasing slave-population.


1000AD

Reaching The year 1000AD, my nation made a scientific breakthrough by discovering The agriculture revolution, because I also had acquired The technology of Banking, and thereby effectively lead The world into The Renaissance Age.
In 1000AD My nation were ranked 3rd in The world just beaten by The Russians, and again just beating The nations ranked 4th ,5th and 6t . The Zulu’s were 1st leading with a 25% higher ranking than The Russians.
My nation owned half of all The wonders in The world that could be built up to this time, and were also owner of The two largest citys in world, Madrid at a size of 15 and Barcelona at a size of 13.
All in all I must say that things were going extremely well.


War preparations.

The construction of a Mill in every city and The construction of roads linking every city together became top priority. I needed to gear up for some real conquest on this continent, because with The newly acquired maps, I’ve discovered that there were two more nations on The continent besides The Greeks and The Germans, namely The Americans and The English. Although I had good relations with these two new nations, it was my intention First and foremost to conquer The entire continent, as I knew this was The only path to greatness. I began plotting The best time to backstab these friendly nations, who were occupying parts of The continent, which I felt was rightfully mine.
The two largest citys were quickly upgraded with every thinkable improvement due to their formidable production rate, and were immediately ordered to begin constructions on various wonders, such as The East India Company, The Gutenberg bible and The printing press.
My trade was fluorescing by The time The last of my citys were upgraded with a Mill. In one city I had a monopoly of oil, established solely from imports.
The invasion armies aimed at The Greeks were of a considerable size. There were 4 separate size 9 armies made up of a deadly mix of Pikemen backed by Archers. These armies were assembled well behind The frontline, in order to take The Greeks by surprise in an all-out onslaught.
As I turned my attention towards The assembly of an army for The German campaign, I ordered The armies for The Greek campaign, in motion towards The Greek capitol, which unfortunately were The only Greek city that could attack.
I took a glimpse at The ranking just before I ordered The attack of The Greek Capitol in The year 1200AD, and discovered that my nation now were ranked 1st just passing The Zulu’s on The power-graph.

Ehh, Exactly what is cool?

I just love positive response but please don’t leave me wondering about what is great and what is not so great in The progress of my game.

By The way, if anyone want a more in depth explanation of some The aspects of this game, then please just ask.

For an example: Has anyone got a clue as to how you ‘direct The flow of slaves’?

[Big Dave]

The only way I can think of to direct the flow of slaves is to capture the units near the city you want the slaves in. If you know another way please! inform me.

And "Yes, I was going to ask before I read your last post"
Thanks!!

To direct the flow of slaves requires a little bit of manipulation.

The slaves will normally be assigned to the nearest city to where the slave was capyured, but only if the city still has enough military to control them.

I use CD's mod, which allows 1 military to control 2 slaves, but I thing the normal is 3 slaves per military.

So, if your nearest city has 3 slaves and 2 military in garrison and you don't want a slave to arrive, move one of the military out prior to attack. Make the attack, and the slave goes to the next nearest available city. If the military was on a road/river, then it can be move back after the attack has been made to stiffle slave revolts.

Take care though when attacking from a city to an adjecent square. When the slave allocation takes place, your units are counted as being in the city, then they move out to occupy the battlefield. This can leave your city vunerable to slave riots, as little feature I dicovered to my cost!

I liked the trick of disbanding units to boost production for a city in an emergency. Thats something to remember when in a pinch. Thats why I enjoy these types of threads - to see good ideas in action.

What do you mean when you moved units into your city to help with production?
