Well, it doesn't really help that I've been away recently. Just being back from holiday brought it's own time consuming requirements. That, plus looking for another job, made my time go faster than I wish it would have. But I have time to play tomorrow for sure, as well as sunday. So if someone could squeeze a turnset in on saturday (and/or today) we'd be on our way again.
Perhaps I need some time to reacquire some basics civ4 skills btw. Sigh.

Playing now. Spam in progress.
1310 a.d. Barcelona comes out of disorder. I start a samurai, though it's really unproductive. But we can whip those complaining citizens anyway. Did anyone consider that Madrid might be the only city left to the north? It would explain why/how the spanish settled south so fast. Tokyo's countryside gets raped. I whip a samurai there with 37 hammers left. I throw the cat with CR and extra collateral damage against Seville. It dies, but it takes half the überlongbowman with it. There are three longbows and two spears left, and against the strongest of them even our weakest unit without the upgrade has favorable odds. I'm torn between wasting another catapult and attacking. I decide to go in with another cat, because our samurai are more valuable. It doesn't do much damage though. The samurais slice through the defense. I give the southern samurai combat II, because there are a lot of horse archers nearby. It takes the city and pillages 179 gold. We could make peace with Isabella now. It would kick her from our lands, saving some villages. It'd also give us the opportunity to reposition our troops and to get some more spears (or something). Also, we have three shrines now. We could get divine right quickly with the great prophet. I'll leave some time to discuss, and fix dinner in the mean time. Crap, I've been playing for 20 minutes and haven't finished a single turn!

Re. Great Prophet
As you say, we have 3 shrines and lots of religions. I do not see much value in a 4th (5th with confusism). It is likely to go to our little city that does not have a religion, and is very unlikely to go to one of the spanish cities with loads. The thing is what else could we do with him? I think the confusian holy city has a shrine, so we are unlikely to be building another. The hammers could be usefull in Kyoto, but not that much. If is was easy to decide what to do with him, I would have done it |

We could save him to trigger a goldan age eventually. Any thoughts on making peace for 10 turns? We could extort 290 gold out of Isabella as well.

hmm.. discover a tech or help a small city... I think that a super-specialist would be best in a smaller city or boost one of the bigger ones even more.

I deposed some more random units and made peace for 290 gold and a world map. Indeed, only Madrid to the north.
1316 a.d. Tokyo builds a samurai, switches to catapult. I see Kyoto is building a galley. Why are we building that? Anyway, it needs 42 hammers so I whip. 1322 a.d. Kyoto builds galley. Apparently I didn't take Kyoto's production bonus into account or something, I get less hammers than I thought I would. Osaka builds samurai, starts on another catapult. We got more gold than upgradeable axes, so I switch to 100% science for some turns. 1328 a.d. Kagoshima builds samurai, starts on a catapult. I whip catapults in Tokyo and Osaka. 1334 a.d. Osaka buils cat, switches to samurai, Tokyo builds a cat and starts on another. 1340 a.d. I whip a catapult in Kagoshima. Just to be able to report something for this turn Oh, I see mansa musa has come all the way to Barcelona.1346 a.d. Kagoshima builds a catapult, starts on another. 1352 a.d. Seville gets out of disorder. I set it to catapult: the city is starving, and there are discontent citizens. Just like Barcelona I think we should whip this city before we go to war again. I let this open for the next player. The save is here. Quote:
