Turn 1 96ADTaking over the world 150 turns in I survey our empire and it looks good, well defended and prosperous, 1 small complaint about the location of AmSterdam not being directly on a water tile we lose a lot of commerce and food not being able to build a harbor or lighthouse.
My main aims are to get Hinduism in all our cities (it is our “official” religion), found a few more cities, try to prevent war from breaking out with our neighbours, start looking for other continents and banish the barbarians from our borders.
I send our scout unit and galley to autoexplore.

Turn 9A barbarian archer in the barbarian city of Zhou attacks and kills one of our horse archers, I take a gamble and attack the city with the 5 units that are assembled around the city to take advantage of the barbarian casualties.

Banhammer Founded, purely to stop AmSterdamn from being cut off. Starts building Theater.
NotesSo that’s my turn, I’ve founded four cities, raised one and we’re on the brink of war with Washington. We need more offensive units. Once we do go to war against Washington let him exhaust his forces against our cities before counterattacking.
The Sistine Chapel will be built next turn.
We are about to run out of money and nearly all our units either need upgrading or will do when we discover Bureaucracy. There are still a couple of barbarian cities to the north and I have totally failed to spread Hinduism outside our borders.
Keep sailing our Caravel West, if we make it around the world before anyone else we’ll get an extra movement point for our ships.
No doubt Finaldeath will of finished his go before I post this, it has taken me longer to write this report than it did to play it.
EDIT, I've just noticed that Hinduism hasn't spread to Milliville, something needs to be done about that plus reseaching Divine right will get us Islam plus we can build the Spiral Minaret... instantly with our great engineer. That gives us gold for every Hindu building out there.
