I prefer building Colloseums (3 people made content, +1 with Electronics) than Cathedrals (4 people made content, -1 with Communism) anyways :P

Why not build both? It's not like you need Communism to win anyways.

One of our cities is building Leonardo's Workshop but yeh, it will take a while.

Are all our units eligible for gunpowder improvements eventually?  If so, might as well hold off until we can shoot our way to victory.

Ironically, your game is quite historical, in that China had gunpowder and crossbows long before Europe.  Their only failing was not putting the gunpowder into guns.  Combining Oriental and European innovations and ways of thought probably could have lead to firearms in BC times.

Yeah, ultimately all footsoldiers from ancient times will promote to Musketeers; all Catapults into Cannons; and all mounted units into Dragoons. Same for the ships; those on transportey side will turn into Transports, and all old warships will end being Destroyers.

Leo's workshop is one of the extremely powerful very near game-breaking wonders. It was one I tried to build myself almost every time and if someone else got it, well it painted a very big target on the city that did for me. Definately more for the warmonger civ, but it is still nice for a peaceful civ. Saves a lot of shields upgrading all your defenders for free through the ages.

Yeah. Of course you're playing on warlord so you can probably just faceroll everything with your bonuses and stuff, iirc.

Update 6: Chinese Glory, Japanese Downfall, Indian Inferiority

The Senate of the Chinese Republic have decided that we should punish the Japanese for their piracy!



First of all we gotta rebuild our military infrastructure that is, Barracks; Gunpowder (and later on, Mobile Warfare) makes them 'obsolete' and forcibly sells all standing Barracks for 40 coins.



Also we captured a leader of that uprising! 50 coins to our treasury, yay.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh hey they actually have 2 cities! Our galley just found this one by accident, I moved it south instead west. We will need extra musketeers and catapults it seems.



I forgot that Aztecs have Lighthouse! No wonder their trireme got so far on its own.

PS: It sailed away, was later seen passing by Hangchow's shores, and then disappeared without a trace.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Maaan I just noticed the amount of Corruption that Hangchow has! This place is den of criminals, but we will fix it.

...and the Senate just signed peace treaty with the Japanese behind my back when I refused to see their emissary! CURSE YOU SENATE! *angry fistshake*



Oh really?



You wish, Japanese pirates! Our forces are occupying your precious rice paddies and mines!



TRY ME.



Pffffffft, as if Japanese had anything to say about being honorable!

However! The Senate have relented its peacemaking ways and didn't implode our Republic once we broke the treaty. Phew, crisis averted.



It seems that Japanese had a whole lot of gold in Kyoto! Our musketeers captured the city after the catapult mauled a Legion stationed in the Japanese capital. Now onto Osaka.





And like that, the Japanese are gone. 2 out of 7 Civilizations* of this world are gone.

I've disbanded the catapults and with all this cash, was able to rush some city improvements across our empire.

I also did this:



It's about time we paid our neighbours the Indians a diplomatic visit, don't you agree? I will try to establish embassy with them to spy on their units, cities and research. I also decided to launch some Caravans; the trade with Indians could boost our income a bit!



And this is what happens when you don't scout around your borders every so often! But as long as Indians aren't hostile, I'm content with that city just sitting there-

They expelled my diplomat! The bastards.



Aw yiss.



Awww yissss.



Our diplomat snuck into Lahore and established embassy with Indians and they... they suck. Look at it! Despotism, in 40BC! They have 6 cities; Bombay and Delhi which we knew about earlier, plus Lahore here, and 3 others.

Gandhi is also at war with the Vikings, which worries me. Vikings start all the way in Europe, even past Greeks. They must have a considerable empire and/or amount of riders to wage war with Gandhi.



Look at me throne room! All this marble and furs <3



And our caravan makes it to Delhi undisturbed. 102 coins is quite a hefty amount, really.

It won't be a bad place to end this very successful update and continuation of the story of Chinese Republic; let's top it with a map! Had to unzoom a little bit to get all our cities in it:

The mandarin from Chengdu Province stands firmly against an immediate war with India.  "Why should we press a military campaign now?  There is ample room for us to expand, and we have the industrial capacity to focus on butter, not guns!  Let us spread the glorious Heavenly Republic across all of northern Asia and simply box the heathens to the south in."

Pah! The Indians are weak, and full of butter. Why choose between butter and guns when we can have both? The Chengdu mandarin just wants to profit of cities west of his province, not the good of the Empire.

The Tientsin mandarin supports war!

Agreed.  Scribes tell of another Asian Nation that thought it should just bask in its greatness, rather than take the world that was laid out before them, and they were eventually humbled by the barbarians at their borders.  This we shall not be!
