OK I'm just going to mainly go crazy at war here
Turn 220 1550 AD
I make peace with Japan for 186 + 36gpt and OB.
Turn 221
Biology is in. Monster result! Elephantine is sitting on 7 oil and weve got 4 other sources.
I double bulb up to combustion. We now got 7 tanks on Russias border and plenty of destroyers that will move around towards Istanbul, taking a task force with them.
I research flight, maybe we could buy some fighters later to help finish, dunno. Normally I'd go electricitity but we'll be done soon.
Decide to declare on Catherine. Just to make it faster.
Turn 222
Just more military manouvres
Turn 223
I take Vladivostock and raze it. Yakustsk also falls but I keep it. Tanks are a bit crazy at this stage.
Statue of Lib came in. I moved up to Moscow and there is quite a bit of resistance.
Turn 224
Im planning to take out Bursa by amphibious assault.
I clear a lot of Cathys ground army but still Moscow will take a few turns. Can't get my arties up fast enough. I'm just throwing everything up there without much care. Still no losses for us yet though.
Turn 225
A deal with Sully ends, so I declare war anyway hahahaha.
I've been randomly building RRs for reinforce but I think it may be too late already.
Turn 226
Delhi gets a GE. I burn him for a GA because I cant see teh benefit of anymore buildings. Then I get my tea and I realise BIG MISTAKE! I could have rushed louvre then burnt 2 GAs. Oh well.
I choose constitution (2 culture per WW) for policy. Not really many others, bit of a dead rubber.
Turn 226
Moscow and Bursa take some pounding. More oil comes in.
Turn 227
Oh I lost a couple of dudes around Moscow, I pushed a bit too hard.
But its ours now and we have more men coming in big metal boxes. Moscow has Sistine chapel.
Down to 3 smilies. I annex New York and buy a courthouse and theatre. 9 smilies now.
Bursa is down, its got a few good buildings so I keep it. 5 happy now and one city left to take.
Errm, OK love.
As you can see, the route to Istanbul now looks very nice with OB from Cathy.
Turn 228
OK I've started automating workers, theyll finish rail roads.
THIS IS OVER. Sullys got no army, Cathy is also banging on his door.
I'm going to finish it.
Turn 229
Istanbul takes some serious beatings. I think I will finish it next turn.
Turn 230 1600 AD
but OH NO, Cathy finished him!!!
Crap I wanted to save it one turn before the end. I'm surprised a rifleman finished Istanbul.
Heres the save after the one more turn screen.
It was easy after we got 7 oil instantly.
Well done all!!! Enjoy your free May bank holiday Gozpel (I assume you have that in Aus.)
