* SPOILER * Matrix - Shabba round 1 - Page 10

It depends on what's in the fog of war. If that's a huge ocean, that's definately an idea. It'd mean that this ends up as a huge naval war...

Turn 136: pretty massive turn! I got another military great leader, and wiped out the romans in the mean while. I immediately purchased the republic from the sumerians and revolted.

So the leader is for...?

Shabbaman · 27-10-2004, 18:03

I've made an army with the first one (it's still empty), and I guess I'll make another army out of this one as well. I could keep it for later use, but all I could do is rush a palace with it (not that useful atm) or keep it until I could build a military academy (or heroic epic, but then I'd have to attack someone again first).

Skyfix it a little.

Turn 143: I spotted an unpopped hut on a remote island. Woohoo!

Shabbaman · 27-11-2004, 17:46

Turn 149: I (finally) contact the dutch. I buy theology from them and give them horses. Since they're at war with matrix, that should be good.

Any other things you can give them? Helping the Dutch = blocking Matrix.
If they need techs, luxes or resources it is wise to give it to them.

Shabbaman · 28-11-2004, 11:09

They're ahead in tech. That is, all AI's have education. I'm two turns from engineering, I hope to get to that as first... whatever that chance might be. Nothing further to trade (I also gave them 1 lux as part of the deal), I'll check if they're in need of iron.

A good thing of this new war: I doubt matrix will come to me now, since I was afraid of that. I saw him building up forces and signing ROP with Sumeria and the Mayans. Thus I was reinforcing my southern border. Currently building knights, let's see what he's got v.s. two armies full of knights... I'd rather save those armies for cavalry though.

Turn 152: Bumhole builds the Sistine chapel. This means I'll miss out on the Crusader Breeder (tm), but that's not all that anyway.
I discover engineering, trade it with Sumeria for education. Can't get any gpt with the AI for my tech, don't know why. I've decided to race to cavalry and then beat the crap out of Matrix with my two armies.
