Foreign Affairs
Our warrior Felix has reached the Euphorican border. Where should he go from here? (Assuming Euphorica agrees to having him cross the border and move through Euphorican territory.)
Our wounded horseman Sheridan could get back home sooner if crossing through the tile 8 of LB's Ventrue. He would not have to stay on the tile even a turn, just move through it. We should see if they are agreeable.

Military
The barbs in the west are on the move. We'll have to see how the Babylonian military fared when we receive the turn.

Domestic
Are we going with E_T's plan for hooking up the iron via road, or do we want to rush it and settle directly on it? (I'm for the former, personally.)

nothing really to add -- looking at the save doesn't seem to help in generating ideas. We are surrounded by enemies. Even with the Horde, we are on our heels just from A-M.

We need an immediate defensive improvement, so I would say settle the iron city, upgrade as many spearman as possible and let's try to protect what we have....

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

we can only upgrade a very limited number of units because of position:

Maximum number - 1 spear to Pike (in Potamia)
2 Warrior to MI (in IT)
1 Warrior to MI (in Babylon)

Here is a screenshot of start of turn and I have an Idea or 2, still.

Proposed moves:

Attack AM Horse with Warrior scavea - just under 50/50, but we need to get them off of us for a bit.

Move Iron Settler 6, and Spear just outside of IT to join it. Will both move back onto Iron next turn.

Move both Warriors in IT to PoA (with Cat there, it should be o.k.) and Move Warrior in Babylon back to IT.

Shortrush Spear build in Babylon (44 gold) then change to Horse, will be built next turn, with WF change.

Work on the Barbs just a bit more.

Also, Possible Shortrush in Potamia, to get a Horse in 2 turns.

* E_T has to run to store to get cigaretts before contiuing.

Turn Report for 1200BC (part 1):

Military Moves

AM War
Warrior scaeva (in PoA) - moves 9-8, attacks AM 3/3 Black-Eyed Horseman - Kills horseman, now 3 /4.
Iron City Settler - moves 9. Will move back next turn
Vet Spear (at LI 2) moves 4, I tile away from Iron.
Arthur & Unnamed Warrior (in IT) - move to PoA.
Unnamed Warrior (in Babylon) - moves to IT

Unnamed Spearman (at LI 8-9) - moves 7 (joining Vet Spear/Settler)
Unnamed Spearman (at LI 8-8) - Forts
Incensity Settler (at LI 8-8) - moves 6
Horseman Sheridan (at LB Venture 9-9) - moves 4 (into LB territory)-4 (back out of LB lands).
Bowman Micha (at LI 8) - Moves 8, joining the 2 Spearman.

If AM wants to attack that small stack, then there is a 50/50 chance of being hit with Bombardment from Micha, unless they attack with spearman first. But not likely. So chances of them winning are approx average of 33% (without damage from Bombardment and with 2% chance of GL) and 20% (with damage from Bombardment and about 1% chance of GL). So, AM, go ahead, make our day…..

Barb Uprising
Bowman Beta (4/4) (at Potamia 1) - moves 1, joining Shogun Bowman
Bowman Jon (3/3) (at Potamia 1) - Attacks and Kills Barb 2/2 Horseman. Takes 1 HP damage, but Promoted to Veteran (now 3 /4).
Shogun Bowman (at Potamia 1-1) - Attacks and Kills Barb 2/2 Horseman. Takes no damage and Promoted to Elite, now 4 /5.
Bowman Kloreep (3/3) (in Potamia) - moves 1 to help cover Bowman Jon.
Vet Spearman (in Potamia) - moves 1 to help cover Bowmen Jon & Kloreep
Horseman Franklin 3 /4 (in Potamia) - moves into Babylon and Forts - needed for AM war. Will be healed by next turn.
Bowman Big & Furry with Tosses Cows - moves 6, headed to PoA and AM war.
Bowman Hercules - moves into Potamia.

BWorker 806 (in Potamia) - moves 2. As it seems that the Barbs go after the unprotected Workers, first, this will hopefully give them an incentive to split their attack against the Bowmen on the hills.

Other Mil Units
Warrior Felix - moves 2 (into Euphorica territory).

I’ll post the Domestic stuff shortly (as I work on it), here is screenshot of Felix.

Workers
New Worker in GoT (forgot to rename before moving) - moves to GoT WF #2 (moves 9) and starts Irrigating (replacing Mine - 4 turns to complete).
Bworkers 372, 586 & 643 (at Babylon 7) - move 6-9-6 (headed to PoA Hills).
Bworker 650 (at LI 2) - move 4, will start Roading next turn.
New Worker in LI (rename him Bworker 225) - move 2-2-4, will start Roading next turn..

BWorker 273 is frozen and is in danger, can’t do much for him right now….

Cities
Babylon - Building Spearman (turn 2 of 2) - Rushed build at 44 Gold and changed to Horseman (Shortrush - turn 2 of 2). Starting WF 1-7-12-16-18, changed to WF 1-7-8-12-16.
Inaana’s Throne - Warrior built, starting Bowman (or spearman) build (turn 1 of 2). Starting WF 4-7-8-15-16, changed to 4-7-15-16-18. Might do a shortrush for faster Horseman, next turn. As this WF config is 9 SPT, we will have to shortrush the other shield for 4 gold, at least.
Plains of Ashur - building Worker (turn 2 of 2), changed build to Walls (turn 2 of 3). Starting WF 1-2-4-16, changed to 1-4-12-16.
Garden of Tammuz - Worker built, start building Worker (turn 1 of 2). Starting WF 2-3-8-19-20, changed to 2-3-8-18-19.
Potamia - building Spearman (turn 3 of 4). Starting WF 1-7-8-15, NC.
Kurra - Temple built, start building Warrior (placeholder for now, turn 1 of 4). Starting WF 7-8-20, change WF to 7-8-17.
Hookah - building Harbor (turn 5 of 16), changed build to Bowman (turn 5 of 5). NC in WF.
