Chapter 54: And Here It Ends...
It had finally happened. In 2026, 6,000 years or so after the founding of Rome, The Roman Empire had finally conquered the world.
Early in 2026, something largely unimportant happened: The Roman Science Department had developed a device called a "Satellite", which would orbit the Earth and do all sorts of things.
The first thing attempted to be done with it was take pictures of each and every part of the Earth, to create the most accurate map ever, mapping every detail possible. That was a task that was completed soon after. The Map has not yet been finished yet to be publicly owned, as some tweaks still have to be done.
But, anyway, as for what really should be known: The Battle of Tatung. It was defended by a rallied garrison of 2 Normal Infantry and 1 TOW Infantry. The 13th army was unafraid and confident, so they marched into the city and opened fire. It was a bloody battle. The 13th army took a fair amount of losses themselves, but not letting the Chinese get the better of them. The Chinese did all they could to protect their final city, but in the end, they simply could not defeat the Romans. Tatung fell, Mao was finally killed, and the world was conquered.
Sort of. There were still barbarians, but they were quickly dealt with: The Minoans, in the Babylonian Mountains, were killed by Marines and the 7th army, and the Phrygians, in Eastern Arabia, or what was Eastern Arabia, were killed by Modern Armor. Much of the Roman Army then went to work scouring the world for more barbarians, but could find none. The Roman World Conquest was Complete.
In celebration, on New Year's Day in 2027, Roman Scientists unveiled a project they had long been working on in Veii: a network of inter-connected computers to allow communication between people all over Rome's vast, world-spanning empire.
So ends the story of the Roman Empire, from small beginnings to rulers of the world in the end.

Nice conquest, Chox... Your play style is practically the opposite of mine: I never start wars, but I HAVE won by domination a few times (I may not start wars, but by gum, I END them!!)
Thought you might have been foreshadowing...though I should've realized China didn't have Integrated Defense. Always good to make sure the AI don't get that.

Nice finish. 'Gratz on the victory again.

And now, for those pics, sorry for massive delays. Oh, and a part of the summary replay pics wouldn't upload to ImageShack (I hate it sometimes...), so some of them are unseeable.
Here is the World Map, Spoilered due to size.
Here's a pic of my victory, also saying how long it took. I know that a few of those 126ish hours were probably me taking pics.
Here's the screen where the AI says stuff, and my crappy editing to make it look like all 7 of them are saying something at the same time.
Here is, just for the heck of it, the final Victory Status Screen and Demographics. I was planning on including the Histographs, but forgot.
Here is a few pics from the Summary Replay. It is all one pic (Well, actually, it's 3 divided pics to get around ImageShack's Resizer FUTURE EDIT: It's one pic now!), but I have made reference to them below as if they were not to make it easier. I've also put it in spoiler tags because I also have some half-pointless notes on all of the pics, and some might not want to read them. (Or maybe the pic either) Also, the Pic is quite big.
Appropriately enough, History will remember me as Caeser the Conqueror! I would have preferred "Magnificent", but I guess I took too much time.

Hey - 41 tons of pollution - that's more than my Greek empire. Congrats! Though the Chicken Itza and Beijing nukes do give you a bit of an advantage.

WTG, Caesar! And an Internet for the whole world--which is only you anyway. 
BTW, there's a simple mathematical method of finding a city's actual statistical population. I don't know what variables are used in the actual program, but the the base population for any size (by citizen count) can be arrived at with:
p=10000[c(c+1)]/2
p=population; c=city size
Think 'triangular' numbers. 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc, and multiply by ten thousand.
At any given time it would be x/y on its way to the next level, where x is the number of food units in storage and y is the number required for growth. This varies of course with current size and whether there's a granary.
Thus, if you subtract population at next size from population at current size with zero food, multiply by x/y (how full your storage is), and add the result to population at current size with zero food, you will arrive at current population.
I don't remember whether starvation reduces the current population, so I don't know whether YMMV.
