What was the best Realistic games you guys have had?
I'm talking abot the scenarios like TETTurkahan, where cities or civilizations are actually where they're supposed to be.
I played TETTurkahan with the cities for a while this past month and had 2 nice games...
1. Arabs
Conquered Israel real early on, but pissed off the rest of the world in the process. Oh well. When the Persians started sneaking around in my territory, I started a war that would go on for about a 2000 years. I tore them to shreds. All of modern Iran was in Arabian hands, and "Persia" consisted of 2 cities next to the black sea.
Then the Indians attacked me because I refused to give them some luxuries. I held of their war elephants long enough to take over Kabul. Right now I'm about to send some 20 horses to Ahmadabad, and take that city over. My hope is that by 600AD, I'll be in control of most of India too.
2. Germans
Starting of on nice terms with my neighbors, I quickly saw an opportunity arise when the Celts declaered war on the French. Once Luxembourg was a Celtic city, I swept through Paris and Toulouse in a matter of a few turns. Building about 25+ archers, I annhialated the Celts and kicked them out of Central Europe. Considering that Belgrade was conquered by the Hungarians, Edinburgh by the English and Angora by the Greeks, the Celts were left with only one city, Dublin.
With an open path to the Italian peninsula, I invaded Rome, and took over Venice, Rome, and Naples in around 4 turns. The pesky island of Corssica evaded my grasp, but led to a peace treaty. Currently, I'm getting ready to take over the Carthage cities of Barcelone and Sicily.
With Sicily I hope to further secure the Italian peninsula, while with Barcelona I hope to use it as a start in a descent into Spain.
Once Spain is conquered, I'll turn my attentions to Poland and Hungary, followed by England and Greece. Maybe even Russia if I have time. By 500AD, all of Europe should be in my control. From there, the quarreling nations of the rest of the world should fall beneath me.
