I made following changes immediately:
Set the Cities to get more Commerce while still growing and changed the build order to Granaries.
Research set towards Mining and Bronze.
Increased Science-rate to 40% which did result in a still sustainable deficit of â7gpt
Switch to Jewism as I fear that Saladin might become a danger otherwise.
At 200AD I have 3 cities at size 6 and working on Workers. Saladin on the meantime helps as he send his workers to build a road to his northern outpost.
My first Worker completes in 300 AD. The diplo-situation is looking quite good as Saladin, Quin and Lizzy are Jewish only Egypt, which is Buddhist, and Rome, which has no religion, are not. Iâm also forced to reduce Science to 10% as I have no money left in my treasury.
Saladin captures the Barb city of Sarmatier.
400 AD Saldin founds Taoism in Samartier. (and shortly afterwards it spreads to Cordoba)
425 AD Disaster looms as Hatshepsut declares war on me while Iâm still 2 turns away from Bronze-working. JC is now Jewish too but none of my Jewish brother-nation come to my aid against the vile Buddhists.
475 AD finally Bronzeworking comes in and I revolt immediately to Slavery and whip Walls /Archers where ever possible.
Thanks to Saladin who now builds a road from his northern City towards Samartier I have a nice roadnet
.
My bowmen do their job quite well and those that happen to loose are replaced by the power of the whip.
In 680 AD I have finally my copper connected and celebrate this with whipping a Spear in Madrid and an Axe in Sevilla.
740 AD finally enough damage done to Hatshepsut so that she agrees to a plain peace treaty. I can return to building up my empire and economy.
960AD I met Mansa who is founder of Hinduism. I decline OB with the 2 non-jewish Civs (Mali and Egypt)
980 AD Hurray I can support 20%Science and still make 1 gpt
1150AD with 2 trades (copper to Saladin and Horses to Quin ) and the deletion of 3 Warriors I can sustain 30% Science.
1090 Ad I have now 4 Religions inside my borders (jewism from the Start, Christianity in Salamance, Taoism in Cordoba, Konfuzianism in Toledo) I decide to spread them to have a chance for cultural victory.
1220 AD Sevilla gets the 4th religion
1380AD 50% Science possible.
1390AD Copernicus (GS ) born in Sevilla he lightbulbs Philo which I sell to Lizzy (for Alpha, HBR and money) and Julius (Mono + Calendar)
1400 AD 60% Science sustainable thanks to the discovery of Currency
1480AD Although Wonders are build everywhere in the world no one has bothered to build the Hanging Gardens which I complete in this year
1565AD Saladin discovers Liberalism and Iâm happy to learn the Art of Civil Service.
1585 AD the Jewish-block starts to crumble as JC switches to Hinduism and Quin converts to Buddhism.
Shortly afterwards Lizzy choose FreeReligion.
Although Iâm still 5th in BNP my economy is now good enough that I can research techs some AIâs still lack and do some techtrading.
1700 I discover Liberalism (only 130 years after Saladin) and switch to Free Religion+Free Speach which is of course the best civic for me as I have 3 Religons in every city and 4 in Madrid, Sevilla and Cordoba. The later starts to build some nice pressure on Samartier.
Saladin declares War on Lizzy and asks later(1775 AD) if I want to join him. I agree to his request as all his lands are between me and Lizzy so I âm quite save.
I never sent a Unit towards her lands, I never saw an English unit and we sign peace after the mandatory 10 turns of war.
1802 I learn democracy and switch to Univ Suffrage and Emancipation. Iâm now Nr. 4 in BNP and rising
In the 1850-s Saladin offers a Defense pact which I happily agree with and which holds for a very long time.
1908 ADQuin completes Apollo-programm followed by Saladin. Quin has also already completed 3-Gorges-Dam (most likely with a GI)
1922 AD I have now all Mil-techs I would need in case of an attack (Infantry and Artillery)
and I believe that my only chance to win via culture. I set my 3 big culture cities (Cordoba, Sevilla and Madrid ) which already have 17000 culture accumulated to produce culture, Switch the cultureslider to 100% . set Barcelona (my Ironworks city)to produce a modern military for my defense and the other cities to produce wealth and prepare to hit end turn until the end..
1929 Samartier the Taoist holy city joins the Spanish empire.
1979 Sevilla legendary
1989 Madrid legendary
1991 Cordoba legendary and
RBCiv-Adventure-9 wins a cultural victory
Saladin only lacked the Stasis-chamber for a space- win
At the end the Spanish empire was Nr 3 in BNP and Nr 1 in Production
