I don't like having all this black on the field. We're almost certainly going to have to launch some kind of war to prevent being drowned out in the future, and I don't want to do it with no information. Paper really isnt that far away however. So we should be able to get some maps relatively soon. | ||

You just have to pay attention if apostolic palace gets built and that leader's relationship with everyone else if they like him etc, and how wide spread is the apostolic palace religion if most of the world is that religion you gotta be careful. Similarly for United nations. You want high population so you can have good control of the votes, or if most AIs like a leader you might have to war or bribe other AIs into war with the one who might win the votes Cathy is really good for this lol. basically if everyone is peaceful teching and expanding with mostly peaceful AIs, and you see them going towards diplo you are going to have to stir shit up, and if the game has wars then you probably don't have to worry because most people don't like each other. But yeah you just need to keep track of this stuff, and yes it is very annoying to get AP cheesed by the AI cause sometimes it still happens to me as a monarch player lol... | ||

Lot of stuff happened on first turn. First I get open borders from Mansa Musa : ![[image loading]](http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5329/tl1.png) I'll be sending missionaries to scout. Our cities can wait a bit. ![[image loading]](http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6763/tl2u.png) Ughhhhh, I hate culture... ![[image loading]](http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7733/tl3.png) Here's a close look on the Malinese empire : ![[image loading]](http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7972/tl5.png) Why do I feel like this city is fail? ![[image loading]](http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8437/tl6.png) A lot of people are already in war with Mansa. I refuse to enter for now. ![[image loading]](http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7737/tl7.png) Lot of stuff it the capital ![[image loading]](http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5786/tl8.png) This event is funny, but I refuse immediatly. ![[image loading]](http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1276/tl9.png) And here's my small stack : ![[image loading]](http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/8071/tl10.png) Overall this was a simple turn. Good luck to the next one! Save : [url blocked] PM sent to Narri | ||

It's better to whip plains mines/forests and regrow on farms at size <10 Don't promote your units (except stack defenders) until you attack. It's more flexible and you recover half your damage. Dogpiles are often easy diplomatic points, even if you yourself aren't going to attack. Pick on the weak, unpopular kid! If Zara has iron, you might as well lend him copper in the event. Everything he can produce with copper he can already produce with iron. More units, especially more siege. Maybe half your stack should be siege. And medieval wars tend to be slow compared to cuirassiers/cavalry. | ||

. Next time I'm saving text documents....Anyway, I made a bunch of trebs then began the BEATDOWN of Mansa Musa. I lost Horsetown to a mid-size stack of Horse Archers and Chariots, but eventually took it back. 21 turns and we have a bunch more cities and tech. My suggestion is to go acquire the silver city up north and the one to the immediate east of the army, then raze the last city and eliminate Mansa altogether (as Timbuktu has 5 unhappies from Motherland)! Then cottage cheese everything while waiting for an opportunity to kill someone else at a later tech level. Note that Curriassers are out for many of our rivals. Oh, and we have a great scientist at Utrecht. Maybe Academy him there?

The game is supposed to read like a story, so those who arent playing can follow it along turn by turn. When you just say, 'I killed a bunch of stuff' and then throw in the link to 9 random pictures, it doesn't read like a story at all. Please put more effort into your reports. Also did you PM the next player? | ||
