Turn 44: Anarres and I agree to trade masonry/pottery for alphabet/wheel.
Buy pottery from China for 132 gold.
Sell alphabet to China for 126 gold, warrior code, and ceremonial burial.
Nanking will definitely be my first target.
Turn 46: Anarres has sold contact with me to the richest civs.
I spend 200 gold to buy all remaining contacts and tech parity (writing + mysticism).
Everyone knows each other, except the Koreans on an island.
Since anarres does not have mysticism, I change my research to polytheism in 40 turns.
Turn 65: Anarres's warrior has wandered too close to my territory... my warriors correct that. ;)
Turn 67: I begin upgrading warriors.
Turn 70:
anarres says: did you just sell HBR to everyone?
DaveMcW says: nope
DaveMcW says: I'm on a different tech
anarres says: in 1 turn they all have it :'(
DaveMcW says: yeah, I guess they all did partial research
DaveMcW says: then bought it off the first one done
anarres says: the AI is much better in ptw i think
Hehe, they beat anarres on his 40-turn research :) Hopefully they won't make it to polytheism before me!
Turn 71: I am ready to declare war on China. Here is my army, 13 swordmen are veteran.
