Pah!
Here, take a look at my map.
My knights are moving toward Edo, the first Japanese city next to my (new) city. I see a regular spearman...
What's bothering me is that I still didn't get a leader, and I need one to move my capital. I'm currently researching gunpowder, in the hope that I'm beating Killer in the arms race: I bet he goes for his cavalry like UU, so my only hope there is a big pile of defenders.
In the meanwhile, I hope to get Adam Smith's Trading Corporation. I need it to toggle my Golden Age (stupid koreans...)
