A New Millenium - 20 BC to 10 AD

Until one rids Greenland of the Barbarian Encampment Thule will be periodically raided by Brutes. The Worker has been given their final orders.

There are too many Cargo Ships based in London so one is moved to Nantes.

Not much happening so 'Next turn'.

10 BC: Thule bombards the Brute again....

....and a new Trade Route is opened from Nantes to Marrakech - very lucrative but Morocco's Religion is being exported....

Faro has grown and one's new Citizen is assigned to the mines. Faro needs the Courthouse more than growth.

End of turn :)

1 AD: The new Millenium has arrived and Haile Selassie is not celebrating - he has nothing to party about because the Zulus are harassing him.

The Drama and Poetry Technology arrives and Plymouth has been connected by road to London which means +1 Happiness and +5 Gold.

One eliminates the annoying Brute first....

....then one's Worker starts to construct a Farm in Faro region.

The next Tech selected is Compass but Theology is required first so it will automatically be researched before Compass.

Now some statistics - England is somewhere in the middle of the pack at the moment.

There are no exports available and the second chart shows that no military units are being built - but four Colosseums and two Monuments are being constructed.

One purchases a Shrine at Thule for 580 Gold, (ouch).

The Deer hex SE of Dundee requires a Camp - so be it.

That ends my turn.

One checks London and decides to add a Barracks to the production queue.

There is only Religion left and 40 Faith points are still required - that means seven agonizing turns because someone else may grab it....

10 AD: Another Brute nears Thule! Luckily the Worker, being East of Thule, is not in any danger.

One grants Gustavus Adolphus this request because Sweden is an enemy of The Netherlands.

Who pulled his chain??

No idea what England has done but who cares what Ethiopia thinks....until next time :)
