Yeha, I noticed that reading the recap but did not notice playing the game. Seams they have swapped cities.

I thought there was a mention that Rome took out Madrid, so it's a 3 city challenge

Ironic that Neal is stuck in the city that always gives him hell in the KotW series. However, you're going to want to culturally reinforce against Calcutta, Mad. If Neal's city wins the culture war for that tile 2 NE of Bombay, you're going to have to open borders with him to have access to the subcontinent. (Well, I suppose you could ferry troops via Galleon.)
Bomaby and Pataliputra both are going to have to produce some culture, no doubt Neal will be producing all the culture buildings he can in that city while building up troops.

At least your women haven't been raped by MadScientist. Like mine.
You were a complete pain in my game with all your wonderspamming teching, so take pride in that. I took great joy in finally wiping your last island city off the map, but it wasn't easy.

Yeah, the AI doesn't do too well with what is the best plot in the game. Mostly because it doesn't rush early and Louis isn't the best warrior in Europe. He usually sells out or gets nailed by Cathy after building the Great Wall.

@Mad
RP>rifling>Chem>Steel sounds good, but I'd go for communism ASAP after that. SP is huge on this map (pun intended
). In the end it really comes down to 
, even though SP will do wonders for your 
as well when you have a monster empire.

Oh. Well, I'm okay with getting nailed by Cathy. Seems like a good way to go.

It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World: Segment V
A shorter segment here, more of a buildup if you like.
Techpath was rather simple, with a simple goal: Replaceable Parts/Rifling/Chemistry/Steel
You know what I mean.
WE pretty much built up infrastructure and military, but had time for a few trades
We popped the next Great Person and there was no doubt what to do here
Golden Age, allowing us time to change civics
Yep, excess specialists with representation. Thus future captured cities can be expnaded via a free artist. We also built the Forbidden Palace in Delhi, anticpating a need of a good central city for "Future Acquisitions".
The Golden Age helped speed along
Which is really what I needed. I started drafting rifles 5/turn, stopped when all cities were drafted, and restarted after 15 rounds.
Now while I planned to let Neal live until the end, apparently he did something to tick off Sem
Well, Neal you can talk to the Greek, I have enough on my hands!
And because Loki is next on the Mongolian destructo radar, we adjusted civics
Pehaps we can get a little spy action here on a few early cities once the Horde comes around.
I decided to start trading RP because simply folks, I ain't scared of any of you.
And apparently, Neal found out something I discoved a long time ago. Fast Workers are no defense against an angry Agressive leader.
Kindly bring any complaints to the Greek management, we had nothing to do with the "King of the World's" Downfall
And finally TMIT came traveling the world
By the way, he has finally started putting the smackdown on old michmbk, taking Boston and Washington.
SO how is everyone's crazy Turbo Civ-Maniac doing?
I see, TMIT is planning to bring 100 screaming Jags to the Old world in 50 Galleys.
At this point we finished steel and decided to save as we consider the mobilization of our forces against Persia.
Given Persia's preference for Dps we sheacked diplomacy out first
Well, we see taking on Arabia later brings Rome into the mix, but one thing at a time.
Right now we have a 2 army force setup. In the north
And on the border of the Persian core.
Our cities are doing well in happiness
And I plan on researching Communism/Democracy next, using the slider if need be to deal with the Mongolian malcontents!
Demographics
Tops in soldiers, #2 in production! No problem maintaining a proper Mongol army here!
TEchs
A VERY strong military edge here!
At this point the only concern is how many fools try and come to Loki's aid here.

It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World: PArt VI
Without an thought ot discussion, I made a decision that the world is just not big enough for Loki Strikes and myself.
W decided to research Communism for that valuable State Property civic and at the same time shake things up a bit by bringing a war ally
Since Insanity X is a fan of representation, we got to be on friendly terms by the end of the segment. Hey, even a war-mongering A$$hole like me needs a friend, at least for a while!
Our two armies start by easily clobbering Loki
Come one Loki, even the departed Neal put up more of fight!
Speaking if which, Neal asked how can I afford those massive armies. well here is an example why.
Also I am running about 50% science slider.
We also popped the next GP, a great engineer. I automatically think, "Great, now I can get Mining INc" forgetting the SP thing. So we let him sit and wait until we get another GP to spawn off a GA.
We continued the assault in the north
As this area is less defended and esier to pick off.
Meanwhile we finished off 2 things.
First, our GT drafting city. Vijaywhatever
And we finished
Off course we immediately revolt to SP, creating 2 turns where I do not have to pay the militaries salary!
I did manage to trade away Communism for something
And continued along our merry way
Loki had a few nice wonders waiting for us, but too bad he didn't have the Great Wall.
At this point, all future GGs we settled in 2 pacific coast cities, looking to eventually build a mighty navy there.
Yes, for TMIT and the new world crew but to wipe out australia and eventually a naval assault on africa and Europe.
We healed our army
And split the forces in three in order to take out three Persian cities at once. It worked just fine
We also claimed lands in the north although we are under a littel culture pressure from our good friend Insanity X.
We also popped a GS which we used to start another Golden Age. The only problem is we were 1 turn too early because
we never got the bonus from the Mauseleum wonder, danged!
We finished democracy, and here's view of what's left of Loki's lands
We swapped civics
And then we decided to be a little more agressive!
To Be Continued....

It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World: Part Vi continued
At this point, for soem reason this ticked me off
It failed to pass, but still these morons trying to stop a Khan from proper warring!
And while I tried to maintain a monopoly on steel/rifling, the war genie has gotten out of the bottle as Bandobras Took has rifles.
However, there are some things I simply cannot do without.
At this point I said to myself, damned the hell, get rid of the biggest threats first
He also had a real nice city way north that is simply in my way. But to get to that city, one of Loki's cities were in my way.
Now we have a clear path. By the way, I pretty much ignored Loki now as he was rather impotent and had nothing I really wanted. He can die later, at our earliest convenience.
Now point to discuss about the combat line promotion which we followed.
THAT is a rather large Arab counter attack. We weakened it with a few cannons then simply tore it to shreds with out cavalry and rifles. The only issue is that we had to wait a few turns to heal before hitting Mecca properly.
And simply because I felt I wanted to, I thought it was time to take over the Japanese home islands too.
Considering Lansky had archers and catapults he put up a decent fight.
We research
Next, helping with the specialists we were trying to run under reprentation. By the way, we have several academies now and never had to build one!
Soon our good friend Insanity X decided to trade a valuable military tech
After destroying what seamed like a few dozen catapults, finally
We found one more Persian city we liked
And decided we had enough with Loki for now.
He even open borders with us later!
The assault on Arabia took alot longer, to be expected considering the military parity and he is protective after all!
And we finally met Futurehermit
Land is Power futurehermit! Gotta remember that!
I decided to bite the bullet and add the power of Infantry to our empire
Unfortunately, an AP vote came up
Damned, just when I was having fun! Ah, so be it. we can resupply our cities there for 10 turns and level Bandobras faster.
Immediately after we took the last Japanese mainland city
And brought Lansky in to talk.
So Lansky is now limited to the Indonesia area. Easy pickings later.
Unfortunately, something quite sad happened.
World peace has broken out!
So I saved here, mulling future wars and who needs to be taken down a notch next. But before that discussion
Victory Conditions
Demographics
And the map
DaveMcW has a really problematic culture city in the Jerusalum area that I think needs to go, as well as BandoBras Took's remaining cities in Arabia. We can use our navy later on to take out Australia and east Africa.
Sian of Germany is probably our biggest threat as I fear he will have Panzers by the time we hit Europe. Nothing to be done about it, just make sure I have either artillery or advanced flight.
Also, Semirami has the AP so I am thinking to make quick work of Greece and raise the damned thing. It is of no use to us.
