It has been a long times since I played.

I doubt that I will take that many notes.  In fact, originally, I wasn't planning on.  But then, even after cooking the map a bit, I lost.  So, I should make note of the loss.

The Map is Cooked:
    Ten Resources
    Isolated Start
    Not Perfect
    But I should be able to win

Researching:
    Agriculture
    Mining
        Actually, if I can remember, I think the added Research will be more important than Food for the first few Turns, so I'll plan for Mining first.

Building
    Workers
        Lots of Workers
    Wonders
        Lots of Wonders

I will not Settle a Second City until T500 at the earliest.

Let's see how it goes.

I am not convinced the AI is all that great in LOR: Legends of Revolution, The Mod I am playing.  Though, it has some fun features.

Right now, I am harvesting Catapult Experience in a Barbarian City, a City which has self-promoted to The Holy Roman Empire.  It was actually quite catastrophic for the Barbarian City.  Four Archers got demoted to Warriors, making for easy pickings.

There is no reason to believe I have any serious competition:
    I have all The Wonders
    Three Religions remain unfounded
    And no one has made contact, meaning no one has Optics
Thus, I conclude I can take things slow and easy.

Given all the advantages I gave myself (10 Nice Resources), I figured I would not Build any Settlers until T500 or T750.  Well, I Built a Settler, but I won't use it.  I'm thinking T750 is the date I can use it.  But more than likely, I will simply start a frontal assault.  I am not concerned about the competition, as they aren't on the board, as of yet.

Well, The Mod might be good.  But due to the idiosyncrasies of The Map, I'm battling 17 Enemy Civilizations, which sounds bad.  But that means every CIV is working at about a third strength, so I'm cleaning up.

I don't really have an agenda with my Wars.  Eh, getting Experience is not a strategy.

Whatever.

Spain falls soon.  I don't see how it can hold out much longer.  I simply have too many Troops and it's down to one City.

From there, it's just a Random War.  I'm so far ahead, I can't be bothered to think.

I have no clear plan of Attack.  But I do out-power everyone.  So, I am calling it.  Oddly, I am desirous of playing The Map, again.

Anyway, this was the 02 - Game, which for the moment is being call "Called On Boredom".  I don't think I made any mention of the first, as I simply lost the race to Judaism and chose to reload.
