grs playing TAM - game died

This is the setup and here is the open thread.

This is my start.

61.82*KB

Since this is a modded game on a scenario map everyone should or could know, I planned a bit beforehand. Prio number one is to get a worker to make some use of my industrious trait (you start without one in TAM). Prio number 2 is finding my neighbours Babylon (Krys), but much more important Media (AI). I have to find them (Medes) first, to be able to exchange starting techs with them - especially domestication to reveal cows. Prio number three is to build a settler for a city that will immediately start building my civ specific wonder which produces vet. units (no barracks for a long time in TAM and only the capital produces vets otherwise) and a mounted unit every 10 turns.

Update day...turn 35 / 6250BC

I was too slow finding Media and could not trade my techs with them, a serious setback. I bought domestication a bit later from the Assyrians for some cash and 3gpt. I have not met Krys yet, which already made him wonder. I still can't build raods since I miss trade and can't buy it. To make things worse, my 50 turn gambit on Copper Working failed, since Assyrians and Media already have that (their only 2nd teir tech).

This game went very slow all the time; probably TAM was not a very good mor for PBEM.
