Sure! My military advisor has been set on dope already: [lol]

Hurray, we left port for Spain! [mwaha]
ETA 6, one galley is sailing ahead alone, the other two follow atm at a 4 tile gap. On board are 2 reg archers, 2 vet horsemen & 2 vet NumMercs -
which is basically the core of my military, but don't tell...
[blush]
Well, I'm still 'strong'.:)

2nd lux is hooked up this turn. Greece has built a harbor and I know a coastal route to it.

Embassies are meanwhile in place everywhere.

At turn start, Greece offered a MA/ROP vs Zululand. I spiced it up: I could get CoL, 32g and 4gpt. Couldn't ignore it, treaty signed.
Also, my galleys look like heading for Zululand now. Ok, that's just obviously too naive to assume.

Good luck Grille, I think you could catch him out here!

Thanks!

The ahead-sailing single galley (load: 1 reg archer, 1 vet horse) has just reached Spain's coast line (turn 82, near the tobacco tile which is shown in post #7). I found border lines! Looks like two towns w/o expansion. I can't see the towns, though, but that galley shouldn't be visible either. Of course, I hope there's no defenders - guessing on capital distance, these could be very young towns (in analogy to my continent, I just settled that same area).
I'll see next turn if that estimation was right.

FWIW, our continents are not fully congruent: my continent has a (bigger?) fresh water lake near the tobacco tile.

What a pity that the Spanish are religious. My invading spoilsport party killers would have a lot of fun in anarcho-country (for Aggie, republic *could* be 'round the corner by now).

The score thing is still bugging me. IIRC, I'm now ~20 points ahead. Granted, I have now 2 luxs (and toggle between 0% and 10% lux tax), but I don't understand that. Seems like Aggie is building city improvements and doesn't pump many settlers anymore.

A curragh is sailing towards Spain from Spain's eastern side. I just want to make sure to detect any Spanish galleys on that other route (although that route would probably need a ROP with Celts, Sumerians and/or Greeks).

83:
Wartime!

I couldn't resist to load the units off of the first galley unstacked:

I hope Aggie is that short on units in the area that he can't move defenders around.

Sumerians and Celts have been bribed to join (~30gpt are thrown out of the window in total).

Congratulations! I wasn't prepared and would lose more cities. [thumbsup] I will report this in the ladder section :)

Although this game was rather short, I really, really enjoyed it!
Thank you very much!
:)

84:
Santander razed (14g) with the archer, worker captured by horeseman.
Other units are unloaded. 2 horsies, 1 archer, 1 NumMerc are placed on the floodplain NW of Santiago. 1 archer and 1 NumMerc on ex-Santiago tile.

Congrats Grille! It shows that one should always be aware on Pelago maps.

Wow, first I got beaten by 4 seconds and then I messed up Aggie's post.
[lol]

Wow! That was amazingly quick! A new record? [hmm]
