I have a few questions: Why did we make a pasture for the horses but no road + we don't have the population to work it? I'm guessing you made the pasture after AH came in, but had already moved the worker away before the wheel came in? And why are we farming a square (the FP?) when we don't have the population to work the horse yet + the horse is not hooked up? The only other things I would have done differently are grow Delhi to 5 at some point to work the horses and settle Vija 1N for the extra PH hammer + cow in the inner circle so it gets its infrastructure up a little bit faster. Also it gets an oasis then for a little bit more food. But this is mostly just nitpicking. It looks like you used a chop 1N of Bombay, so I'm guessing it already has a monument? (great work!) The next player should probably throw a chop into Vija's monument and then get granaries up in both Vija and Bombay while Delhi makes a warrior for Vija. | ||

Love the 2 other city placements, bombay while it does look like it can be commerce, I think it can be turn into a strong production site down the road when waterwheels are unlocked. Biggest thing now though is what to do now? From what I remember in my play through, Egypt did not have any strategic resources (or if they do, its certainly not metal based). Which offers a unique situation where a holy city is perfect for the picking should we choose to start massing up axemen to hit isabella allowing us some more breathing room (We're organized, so we dont have to worry as much about upkeep. Best use that to our advantage). Of course, we could also try to get a monopoly on alphabet, see what we can trade. Or skip it in favor of attempting to get TGL for Dehli. | ||

@Energizer, sorry just PM'd beater after I got your PM. Bombay would need moai too and I'm not sure if there's enough food to support everything. There are so many neighbors on our continent we'll get into trouble for sure if we start a religion. Unless we do a COL slingshot, it would be difficult to start one anyway. I'm not too sure what we should do now, a GL seems possible but we're getting sailling pretty late. | ||

I believe the worker is building a road to the gold so I can connect Bombay and Delhi, mostly for the workers, not so much for the resources which will be connected anyway with sailing. Agreed with both of your suggestions. I think at the time I was just focused on having as few ocean tiles as possible. Monument was chopped in Bombay. @Energizer, sorry just PM'd beater after I got your PM. Bombay would need moai too and I'm not sure if there's enough food to support everything.

Whoop, shoulda been more clear, meant the great library, not lighthouse my bad lol. and we wouldnt need to automatically switch once we take the holy city, but it would be a useful asset to try and get the other civies in on budda. Not to mention, the gold u can receive from a shine is usually nothing to scold at. Really, its up to proxi to determine where we go from here. GL to you sir! | ||

I'm not too sure what we should do now, a GL seems possible but we're getting sailling pretty late. If we can get phants, elepult war looks pretty good from this position. But I'm guessing Isabella has the cow/ivory spot by now? I guess we could consider a Horse Archer push too, though it is a little late for that. But if Isabella really doesn't have metals, Horse Archers would be a lot better than Axes due to the distance. Plus it transitions into elepult pretty well, especially if Isabella has taken the ivory spot. I'm a little worried that we don't have much land to expand into, but it's hard to tell what we have to the SE from the screenshots. I'll be able to give everything a better look in 2 days. The decision to war really hinges on how much good land there is to settle. If we can expand a bit more, I am also a big fan of the Great Library. | ||

After researching fishing I decided to go for horseback riding. I didn't realise at the time that you need archery to make horsemen, but we can still make stables while we wait for hunting and archery. I whipped a sailing boat and a granary in Bombay and began construction of a library I chopped out the monument in vijayagara (did I spell that right?) and began working on a barracks. I don't know if I should have made a granary instead, but it didn't strike me as a city where we would be doing a lot of whipping, so I went ahead with the barracks. Delhi has grown to size 6 and spent most of the time crancking out chariots after I built a barracks. Overall it was a pretty uneventful set of turns. Our scouting warrior survived getting attacked by a barbarian archer and a barbarian warrior poked around vijayagara before suiciding against the city walls. Gilgamesh also asked me to cancel relations with the Mali, but Mali is closer so I declined Pictures: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KRio0.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OI3Eo.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gO8cq.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rRVRz.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Zjco8.jpg) The save: http://www61.zippyshare.com/v/19199837/file.html NIJ, you're up!

There's lot to do here. From what I glimpsed @. Here's my rough plan. -Spain needs to be scouted. Idk why the warrior went so far, when we need intel on our immediate surrounding areas. -Vija needs to be networked. Border pops is also inc. Much needed cause that city as of now is dead weight. Once special resources are worked it should get better. -I'm also contemplating not going for eles and prepping with HAs asap. Want to take out spain asap while their power rating is low and small. -which all means ill need more workers. There's not enough workers right now and I need to Network vijay, develop tiles there and chop/pre chop forests. Delhi's happy is capped so ill pump some out there until archery to ha spam. -If I skip eles I probably won't go math either. Its inefficient chop, but time is crucial here. Also once we get archery I wanna start preparing for tech that can help maintain our size after war, so beelining to construction will further delay that. Both mali and spain has alpha. I'm gonna have to somehow workout a trade here (iirc I only saw hbr offerable tho). Don't wanna miss out on tech brokering. Questions, comments, feedback, criticism? Make them before I finalizemy decision by tonight/tomorrow morning. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NNM0n.jpg) I got my army prepared to take out spain. Scouted the barb city to find that there were stacks of archers defending the town and AI as usual stalking around like vultures. From there we meet a new civ. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Vhr0m.jpg) And Justinian does the work for us and gets us a new religion. I wait a bit before switching to not piss off Izzy. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qxjki.jpg) Plains mines scouted.... Oh yea shes got iron. I am going to hit fast with HAs though so hopefully she'll only have time for 1 or 2 spears. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GTLax.jpg) autosave right before the attack. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gNiB5.jpg) War progress at my endturn ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/J70gd.jpg) Tech situation ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Yz3MI.jpg) Stuff left to do: -spread religion, switch to OR -kill off spain -Fill out vacant spots with cities / get barb city The save https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B4Oy30X6L9r_MTUyNjZhMjAtODcyOS00MGI5LWE2NDAtYThhOTg5NTRlNGVk&hl=en_US | ||

to whoever plays next; I would strongly recommend sacking cordorba as its in a relatively useless spot with mountains covering its BFC. Seville on the other hand (from what I can see) seems to be in a excellent spot for a sugar city, and just further down we can settle over by the gems. it doesn't appear that there is anyone that close to us either (at least to the point where we are fighting for border control), thus I think now would be a good time to spam out some cottage cities and as a hobby, working on splitting this hindi bloc so we arnt a target to any AI. Start pumping out those missionaries! As far as tech path goes, wouldnt mind grabbing the great library after we finish currency. It would secure our tech lead and the GP point bonus is always nice to have then pick up monarchy for the happiness. Otherwise, we could just continue on with the military techs (mathematics/construction). Also, please reupload the save on another site, google doesnt seem to be working for us (invalid link) | ||

Its the only thing I think that would fix that crash (unless its a hardware issue). and I'm going to be looking more into this. I thought it was possible to play without the bug mod but apparently I was wrong. If I cant find a solution, then it will be a poll for the next succession game to play with or without the mod.

Yeah I tried that. It still crashes. I highly doubt this is a hardware issue. BUG still works fine (and I know you can play without BUG and with BUG just fine), but not Better BUG AI. | ||
