... only to find that another Rajaputana Warrior is in the way, costing us a turn.
The Right of Passage with our friends the Khazar has a nice additional effect: they will soon come racing through our southern lands to fight off any Barbarian uprisings that get past the Rajaputana and the Gogury in the south.

Taking Hovd also means control over a Gems source. We presently have a deal for Gems with the Khazar. In a few turns, Hovd will be connected to the empire.

That concludes my report of the
Quick Start Challenge.
The Han empire is thriving, with 28 cities (3 larger than 6) and 84 citizens, all of them happy when we set the luxury slider to 70%.
We have all the Ancient techs except for Monarchy, plus Monotheism and Feudal Warlords.
Our forces count:
- 1 Settler
- 13 Workers
- 11 Slaves
- 2 Warriors
- 6 Spearmen
- 5 Swordsmen
- 2 Horsemen
- 6 Medieval Infantry
- 4 Junks
And our possessions:
- 28 cities (3 larger than 6)
- 84 citizens
- 243 tiles
- 12 contacts
- 1 embassy
- The Colossus
- The Forbidden Palace
- 1 Palace
- 8 Barracks
- 1 Harbor
- 1 Granary
- 2 Temples
- 1 Courthouse
- 231 accumulated food
- 337 accumulated shields
- 673 gold
Plans are ready to land on the second continent, claim that Wool source and conquer the Oda's Great Lighthouse, since that Oda ship hasn't made any contacts yet (Barbarians?
), or alternatively to attack the Baekje in the rear in case they finish the Great Library quickly.
Good fortune: good battle results, making contact before the Oda did
Bad fortune: Pyramids, Lighthouse, Oracle all off our continent
