It's a 2-tile island, with a Horses resource. Our Spearman will occupy the mountain so nobody else can land.

A pretty good round of combat. By now we have more than made up for the massacre at P'yongyang

(knocks on wood). It gets even better, when we see several Mongol Spearmen fleeing from Karakorum!

1175 BC
[u]Treasury</u>: $257 -&gt; $270
[u]Science</u>: 100% (The Republic in 7)
[u]Citizens</u>: Beijing=6 Tatung=6 Macao=3 Kaifeng=2 Ningpo=2

[u]Horsemen</u>: 1誦製 2裳裳
[u]Spearmen</u>: 2誦 6蜜裳裳

Rajaputana start on The Great Library, Baekje on The Great Wall.

[u]Diplomacy</u>:
- $2 + WM (Baekje) for WM
- $5 + WM (Rajaputana) for WM
- $2 + WM (Khazar) for TM
- $4 (Gogury) for WM

We exchange maps, before taking the plunge.

[u]Junks</u>: 1蜜製e蜜製e製

It was all too neat what the Great Mapmaker in the sky had prepared for the Han: the luxuries, the factory site, the Road, the waterway east, the little island, the new seafaring speeds - and no entry for the Junk in the Civilopedia. Could it be, that ... ?

For the sake of this demonstration, we go one more time, after making sure that nothing at all this turn influences the RNG.



As it turns out, we make contact whether Junk1 survives or not, and so we beat the Oda to it by what can be only a couple of turns.

1150 BC
[u]Treasury</u>: $262 -&gt; $748
[u]Science</u>: 100% (The Republic in 6)
[u]Citizens</u>: Hangchow=4 Tsingtao=2
[u]Settlers</u>: 20裳w
[u]Workers</u>: 7=road
[u]Slaves</u>: 5=road 6蜜 7誦
[u]Swordsmen</u>: 5誦
[u]Horsemen</u>: 2製製
[u]Spearmen</u>: 6誦
[u]Junks</u>: 1誦製w製蜜蜜

We have contact with the Ottomans and the Kuroda.

Attack
Swordsman9誦 - Spearman (Mongolia) (56%) wins: elite
Horseman1誦 - Spearman (Mongolia) (51%) retreats
Swordsman11誦 - Spearman (Mongolia) (70%) wins
Swordsman16裳 - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (70%) wins
Swordsman18誦裳w - Warrior (Korea) (86%) wins
Swordsman15裳w - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (81%) loses
Swordsman7製w - Warrior (Korea) (95%) wins: Great Leader K'uang-yin
Horseman3裳e - Otomo Spearman (Korea) (36%) wins: Andong destroyed, 2 Slaves

We did as much damage to Korea as we could. They are scientific, and we want their free tech, so peace is a sad necessity - for now. But the result was glorious: rarely did I get a Great Leader that soon, on only the fourth elite victory!

[u]Diplomacy</u>:
- contact with Rome (Ottomans) for $115
- contact with Tugukawa (Rome) for $111
- contact with the Oda (Togukawa) for $6 + TM
- Currency + $58 (Rome) for Civil Service
- Shamanism (Oda) for Civil Service + $17 + TM

The tribes on the other continent are doing pretty well, and they had the two techs that our home continent was missing.

- $229 (Kuroda) for Civil Service + TM
- $101 (Rome) for Civil Service
- Construction + $92 + WM (Baekje) for Currency + Shamanism

The Han enter the MIDDLE AGES.
We will now push the two scientific civs, the Ottomans and Korea, into the Middle Ages as well, so we can trade for their free techs. Note that, in the process, we do not trade any contacts. The Oda, who own the Great Lighthouse, are small, and with any luck it will take them a while to cross the ocean!

- $55 + WM (Ottomans) for Confucianism
- $77 + WM (Kuroda) for Confucianism
- $2 (Ottomans) for Construction
- Pusan + $9 + WM for Peace with Korea
- gift Shamanism + Currency + Construction to Korea
- Feudal Warlords (Ottomans) for Literature + $32pt + $634 + WM
- Monotheism (Korea) for Feudal Warlords + Literature + $3pt + WM
- $24pt + $634 (Ottomans) for Monotheism

Since they are in Despotism, the game doesn't let the Ottomans give back the full $32pt.

- $17 (Rome) for TM
- $2 (Oda) for TM
- $83 (Rajaputana) for Shamanism

[u]Workers</u>: 11裳 To save K'uang-yin a turn
[u]Slaves</u>: 6蜜 7誦
[u]Warriors</u>: 3裳裳
[u]Swordsmen</u>: 4製
[u]Horsemen</u>: 3製w
[u]Leaders</u>: K'uang-yin製w製製

It is a long journey for our leader to get all the way to Shanghai to make our Forbidden Palace, but I didn't dare rushing Sun Tzu in P'yongyang and hoping for a second leader from the war with
Mongolia.

[u]Casualty count</u>: expected 8.73, actual 6/41, elite wins 4, leaders 1
