Nice kill ratio,Banzai,they come from all angles.We have to find some horses.
Good ol' Van Nistelrooy.[goodjob]
Take it away,general beam.

:)
Our golden age will end soon. We are paying a lot of gold per turn on unit maintenance.
I think that when the GA ends our economy will crash!
We need more cities fast, therefor I think grabbing the furs site from the Celts is a priority.
We have enough units down there to do the job. Don't forget to build a road to the furs.

Banzai!

What would really make all the difference would be an army.We're at 210 A.D. with plenty of combat but no M.G.L.We're bound to get one soon and my advice would be to form a sword army and build the heroic epic.Once the G.L's start coming we can form several armies and attack/pillage our neighbours.The R.N.G has been against us in giving M.G.L's.Pillaging is the name of the game but untill we get the wherewithall,we're stuffed.
I expect Beam to get an M.G.L.If he doesn't then Gawd Bless Us.[coool]

Hey,Beam,are you going to play anytime soon?

Will give it a try this weekend. That's a lot of kills Banzai!

Yeah, but what I could not do is expand!
We need a city at the furs south of Umma fast! Not only for the lux, but also to push back the Celts and drop unit maintenance costs - it is sky high!

Banzai!

Couldn't agree more Banzai. I just managed to destroy Gergovia and a settler can build a new city on the furs soon.

Not only is unit maintenance sky-high, it is maintenance for weak units. We should have used our income from the GA for upgrades. I am stuck now with loads of EW and Swordies and about +4gpt at 10.0.0. Can't say I'm enjoying it atm.
