 There's a lot going on this turn, so huge barbarian battle I'm gonna deal with here This guy It's gonna level up. I want to destroy that to be honest with Jerusalem, but I actually do want to heal a little bit first I'll move one square Don't see anything heal that settler. I got to protect This guy's just gonna finish his farm which offsets the farm that I temporarily lost This guy. I don't want to die. So I'm actually gonna have a move into the territory This guy Can I? Yes Definitely gonna return it Natural wonder discovered. Yeah All right, so look, here's my ally and Because I drop at a low rate since I'm greased they're gonna be my ally for the rest of the game effectively Which means let's see Maritime so I'll get a bunch of food not a ton of food, but that's good I get silk. I get some horses Not too shabby and that means they declared war on Scott and he'll get that notifications. He'll be afraid of that Found all the natural wonders. Ooh, I'd like to work that but probably not Viable so I was gonna settle this guy in the middle here, but there are better spots over here I'm gonna settle here next to deny Scott. I hope he doesn't come up and over he does left to fight him early This guy I've seen all this land. I know there's no barbarians nearby so I can sort of sneak this guy up So where am I gonna settle? I want that citrus and I want those truffles to make this a really worthwhile city. So one two three actually right here might be good Here or here I go here I'm three away from that and I'm also three away from that. So it'll be a little while But I know it's too close to my other city. I can't it'll have to be here That's not the worst place to put a city because I'll get that iron I'll get this stuff. I should be able to encroach on her pretty quick because I imagine hers prioritizing this thing You heal Let's see. What else is going on? Yeah, after this guy heals. I'll destroy that and then move this way Nice I'll be able to deal with this relatively quickly. I hope Might get some pillaging going on I'll have to fix that and As soon as I get horses, I got to build a companion cavalry or two and then really start harassing Scott Because he's pushed science way harder than me So I'm gonna get to then three cities and I'm gonna push military and harass him and hopefully it'll prevent him from doing anything with that science All right. So here we are around turn 38 of this game between me and rim. I am The name of this is I don't remember the name of my sieve Ah song hi, I'm song hi grease The main benefit I get is from being Song hi is that when I kill a Barbario camp Then I get a huge pile of money, right? So I can actually go into negative money right now I'm at zero money. I'm going to negative money and make up for it by killing Barbarios, right? Let's Kill that melee Barbario who's a threat to our ranged To make sure the spearman survives Yeah, see the last time rim plate of he loves this kind of map Hey And last time he beat me with his tri-ream power. So I built the tri-ream pretty early this time Especially because I plan to defend these pearls and fish here And you can see I'm building a chariot archer. I'm going more military. I've realized that in a His duel game military matters a lot, right? It matters a ton. So Anyway, so what's happened so far rim apparently made allies with the city-state of Urr, which is why they declared war on me I mean when you're in a duel you pretty much declare war on each other immediately, and that's it, right? There's no there's no peace time There's Jerusalem they want me to get rid of that barbarian. Oh, there's rim his hoplite He's like after that barbarian. He has like a super spearman Which is the hoplite so I just need to survive past. I just need to get to pikemen pretty much and then Rims military advantage will go away my special military It's a cavalry that replaces knights Okay There it is cavalry. So in that in this period of the game is I'm gonna have to survive You know this long and then I can make my move with some cavalry I Also need to get these good pyramid mosques There's no maintenance so I can just build a bunch of these no problem, right not have to pay for them Rims I guess a little bit ahead on score right now. Oh We can use this to check out what he's got going on. I got more gold than he did by a little bit He's losing gold every turn. He has copper though. I Only have one horse really I have horses right here. This is only providing one horse That's providing two horses My other horse and it cost me a horse to make this caravan. Oh I only have one spare horse to trick. No That makes no sense. I Don't even know. All right. Anyway. Yeah, I got a caravan going over here That was the other problem. I had in the last game. It was like he locked me out with his military So I couldn't caravan So now I'm caravan-ing earlier and I was trying to defend it with the spear man, but he needs healing so I did a lot of good This is why Lhasa liked me at least until this turn because I killed so many barbarians over here coming from this camp But I wasn't actually able to make it over to this camp to finish it off Maybe I'll try again Right now this camp is the real threat I didn't need to do something about This spear man, I'm not this bowman. I'm not worried about I mostly need anyway Scout you can Worker is there anything for this worker to do Waiting for this so I get this iron. Finally I'm gonna get some friggin iron Yes, I really need a work boat where I don't need a worker to do any work You're gonna sort of wait. Go into the city where it's safe and wait for work. There's not a lot going on this turn Mostly bringing my guys back to heal before we go out and do stuff again Did meet Jerusalem though, which is good Using a science so There's a tough choice Arches and quarries. I don't really care Optics could be really helpful They're going for hanging gardens like bam Yep calendar it is That way I know that whenever I expand into that territory, which is after the iron thankfully, but I'll be I'll be good to work the sugar. Thank happiness up. It's only two here I know my population is gonna grow in six turns, right? Population grows in six turns. I'll have calendar and four turns the worker will already be working on them. Not bad. I Have 12 faith because they were friends with me and they're a religious city, but they're not friends anymore So I'm like frog. I want them to make friends with me, but not give me any quests. No quest from you I'm gonna have money to pay you off either That's not happening. What's going on here? Maybe this trirem. Hopefully we'll be able to pester rim if he doesn't have any too many range Also, I can explore a lot of the map if I find a natural wonder I believe that Lhasa wants ever a natural wonder Maybe my trirem can fulfill that quest Because I think my units right now are all beat up. I mean, I can't let them die so Can't go exploring to try to find one Soon as the chariot archer is done though that will be Good times and I could send the scout out to go scouting Your man can heal in the chariot, right? It'll be good Where's the next button?
