	The reign of Ormus Secundus Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Our current situation:

We have 28% of world's land (20% required) and 48% of world's population (50% required). We are first in points too.
Macedons virtually do not exist. Persia are on second place far behind us.

Foreign situation:
Macedons are in war with everyone and it seens they have a settler on a galley somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
Scythes and Goths are in war. Persia is in war with the Scythes.

If we develop peacefully we are going to win.

Second choice is to add workers to our cities. We have 94 common workers and lots of slaves. I realy think adding all of them will grant us the required 2%.

And there is the most fun part - start a war. There are lots of targets still:
- Goths have a lot of units in our territory on their way to Scythia
- Scythes - IMO the worst choice for a war because they are to far away
- Persia - my choice. Most of our armies are near the borders with Persia because of the campaign against Macedons.
- Carthage - not very good option either

Domestic:
We have all luxuries in world, we do not import anything. We could get Ivory which will help us build numidian mercenaries. We are exporting wines to someone but I don't know who.
We have 6000 gold in the treasury and we get 1200 per turn.

As last note I think once we start a war with Persia we could bribe very easily Carthage and Goths to start a war with Persia. All we need is get some population and kill someone else's citizens to reach the 50% limit.

Please, discuss and give more advices. Timeout: 1 day
After this I'll start polls for two days and I'll play the turns. I don't think all this is required because we have the same goals since many turns but Our Roman Law forces me to do it this way

add those workers and finish the job. Why postphone winning? It takes so much time to play a turn. Let's gear up for the new challenge and I think the honour should be your's to be the first shogun.

Retire our workers and win it already.

I think I'd rather be the first shogun than the last emperor.

	Tired of ads?

NMs are bad builds for Romans. NM = 2/3/1 cost 40 shields.
Garrisoins are 1/3/1 and only cost 30 shields.

I know about NM
But I was confused at the start looking at Ivory as strategic resource

The game is over
I needed two turns to join most of our workers into the cities

I'll post the save after the victory. Sadly I've forgotten to save before this. But I could post the autosave for anyone who is interested.

I'll make a thread about the win tomorrow sometimes
