The game is almost at turn 40 now and the situation looks terible. It has been an uphill strugle all the time with barbs all over the place. All my scouts are dead, along with 3 fine warriors. Expansionist sucks with raging barbs, but as said I did not know that. My current situation.
35.12KB As can be seen a barb (known to us only as the hittite-horror) is south of the capitol. He has killed 2 scouts, a worker(greek) and 2 warriors. Futile attempts to kill the nest west of ulundi failed. our warrior there lost too. I now have just one fortified warrior left who protects a worker. In the pic there are two warriors on the worker but in the interturn one gets killed. Two other barb encampments are nearby. One to the north of zimbabwe and one further east. I hoped greeks would help me out but alex is building defence, wonders and settlers. I know PP has sort off the same trouble but with me failing to exploit my expansionist trait I give him an advantage over this so unwelcome raging barbs thing.

I am now even on barb killing and Impi's are slowly getting the upperhand in most battles. Though some horsemen STILL get trough. It has resulted in several promotions however
An overview of the lands: 32.84KB I am alone with the Greeks on an island But that does not matter. In my game against killer I also have a nice scientific pet. uhm...that is not deity though The Demographics of turn 63: 71.22KB for now: Clean island of barbs. get iron working. attack the Geeks.

PP and I have met![]
It happened in his turn and somehow he did not get any MA's up... I am many many techs behind. He is on an island with the Koreans who are the top dog by score. Koreans do not have Hoplites however. In my turn I set up the Koreans against him, though I fear he is more then ready for them.

I bought MM from Greece and plan a small landing on PP's turf. I deem this is possible because there is a Korean City on our Island. In the meanwhile I am desperately settling the land in hope to get full fill before the barb uprisings. It required severe limitations on defence and very heave setler escorting. Luckily my main Impi force is now Elite and can take some punches!
My aggresive Greece neighbour has also declared war on PP but I fear it will not be that important. PP is hammering the Koreans. HOWEVER: I buy the WM from my Korean friends and it shows: 45.87KB Even though PP is beating Wanker, he has almost HALF my number of cities! Also, his land is a bit smaller, which in the long run (not that there'll be one) will not help him. Compare his Empire to mine: 79.54KB I have Rax in all producing cities and am pumping out Impi's and warriors. My Coastals are doing galleys! As can be seen, there is no risk in landing some units near PP's Capitol! He has no MM yet so speed is of essence! 28.54KB

@Sky: Sure
5.57*KB Uhm...plans have changed. PP has bought the Greeks and the Romans against me Both have their UU ready and both UU's have 3 defence, my horses will die in vain. Or not. I have entered my GA and have 20 impies sowing dissent at the Greco-zulu border while my core is doing swords. The Navy in the meantime is keeping Ceasars galleys away. It is realy turning into a bloody mess. PP has managed to get Seoul and Wanker is bye bye soon (Est 25 turns incl a stickypoint peacetreaty). The fucker also got a leader. But I do feel he deserved it. Techwise...I am the only one in the Ancient era with Cur and Con lacking our not so filled shelves. PP has probably one MA tech. On the bright side I will soon be able to bring my income to 70 gpt and my lands tell me that a few markets will bring that to 100+. Also, In the demographs I am doing great even before the GA! 18.86KB

Impis are awesome as pillagers. With good defnce and two moves they can cripple any civ without takinga single city. If you can get any into PPs land, it would set him back a long way.
