A bit of a short report for this one, because it didn't last very long. Just a list of key events:
- I have a bit of barb trouble, so can't expand as quickly as I want to: my own fault, don't connect Copper quickly enough.
- I don't build anywhere near enough workers, so the Copper to the south goes unimproved for a long time
- Monty builds quite a few wonders: Early Temple of Artemis and Pyramids, late Oracle. I take SHenge and GLH.
- When I discover Alphabet in around 300BC, Monty (!) is running away in tech, but in a move, I wasn't expecting No Tech Trading to be on
- In 100AD, Montezuma declares war on me without going WHEOOHRN: referred to in the game's code as 'Dagger'.
- I'm unprepared and lose a border city. I completely forget about Monty's wandering Archer in the north, and lose another city, this time to bad luck rather than lack of time to prepare.
- Monty's starting to get Elepults, and I have far too few cities to remain competitive, so I retire in 175AD.
Okay Mansa, I'll take Printing Press for Liberalism. Now where did I put my cannons?
