I was playing a standard random map, continents, wet, latest year. I was the Greeks, and sharing my peninsula were the Romans. We didn't like each other very much, and I owned about 5x more land than him becuz i expanded faster. We mananged to build some cities where my culture was low and there were openings in my control. I sensed somethingbad, so I prepared to strike first. I was hlaf-way through the middle ages, and my armies were mostly made of knights and pikemen. I had about4,000 gold to his 40.
I was way too over-confident that my huge empire would crush his tiny one. I attacked without warning, capturing some of his cities ringing my empre. I failed in the north to drive him out of his city, and it resulted in a staemate. In the south, my forces were annilated. We counter-attacked and captured one of my cities. I called a peace treaty and he agreed. I rebuilt my arm with more knights and pikemen, but this time i had some troops go right through the mountains. Sure enough, when I atacked, he had arely any troops in the mountins. I blitzkreged across the plains in his empire, quickly capturing every city. Now he only had 5 cites left, and I couldn't get to 4 of them. I decided to ask for peace. He agreed to half his gold, 20 per turn, all his luxaries, 1 city(I didn't want more), all his maps, all his tecnologies, and everything else except for his 4 cities.[party]
