In case you were wondering why I haven't updated in a while, it's because HB and HL have been playing this game all week and we haven't finished the first game yet. I would say we're approx. 1/2 way through after approx. 2 hours of game play.
Here's an update of what's been going on so far. HB is playing the Americans while HL is the Romans. HB has gone the culture route. He picked up stonehenge, and used incense with currency. He also quickly got a 3rd city, the colossus (for extra trade), and engineering which he used to build multiple aqueducts in his grasslands. He's a couple steps up the level 2 culture track along with 1 level 3 tech Railroads. HL has spent most of her actions accumulating resources so that she could use pottery to get coins. Shes also been using her trade with Democracy to get coins. At one point she was at 9 on the coin track, but right now shes at 8 also with 1 level 3 tech Military Science, and the Porcelain Tower wonder
We're both stocking up units, have them slightly upgraded, but have avoided combat. HL went into HB's outskirts to block some production, but HB used his culture cards to blow them away. I think we might start fighting soon. Can't wait!
I'm still really mad at HB for demolishing all of my armies with one fell swoop of a culture card. Now I will have to spend my next few turns to buy more army figures. It puts a damper on the roll I've been having, but it at least adds fuel to the fire and future battles will show that vengeance will be sweet.
