I can help you with the spearmen part - they are to be delivered to Tuscany on Turn 1. Here's the deal - with very high taxes, no governor (we do not have suitable heroes for governors yet) and no improvements, Corsica can generate the mindboggling income of eighty something florints per year. There are 100 spearmen and 60 UM there, whose upkeep is 80 florints. If the Corsicans pay their taxes of 8 or so florints, they will actually be upside down - not a good thing. Therefore I think Wasp will confirm, but the 100 spearmen are to be transferred to Tuscany on Turn 1, in exchange for 50 florints.

In that case here are a few minor changes to my schedule:

Year 1: increase taxes to high; build watch towers
Year 2: increase taxes to very high, start town watch
Year 3: finish town watch
Year 4: start 20% improved farmland; train a unit of Urban Militia
Year 5: finish farmland; do not train anything

Here is a question: is the 10% tax based on a province's income (regardless of expenses), or based on the province's profit for the year (income minus expenses)?

I will page Wasp, I am sure he will send you his schedule soon.
