It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World: Part VIII
A shorter segment, so let's get right to it.
Loki has many cities throughout our north and if he can ever get his act together with some later infantry or even tanks our entire valuable mid section is exposed. Time to eliminate this threat.
But first we adjust civics for perhaps the last time
We also got Mount Rushmore built quickly. Good enough, and with no need of the slider we can live without representation.
We start leveling him with our two stacks already shown last segment.
Afterwards we proceeded to build tanks and send them to all reaches of the north to crush rifle defended cities. Note I am still promoting tanks along the combat line which seams to be doing just fine!
And 10 turns after peace, we launch a new attack against the last Japanese city
What do we care about 2 fronted wars, we are khan's dammit!
Finally we clear the southern desert area of persians
And elminate Lansky. One less Civfanatic to worry about!
Now since JC got peace with Lansky dead, we asked him to attack Loki
Not that we need help, but perhap Rome can help tracking down those rogue military units!
BEfore you can say "Steel Keshiks" Loki has lost about a dozen cities (most to the north razed) and is down to
At which point TMIT got restless and decided to be an A$$
With MadmanAtWar and Attacko having a DP, he ends up at war with both! In fatc, he of NO rifles managed to take out one of Englands cities! way to go TMIT!
Our next Great Person was a
Which reminds me, I never built teh stupid Taoist shrine. Well, did that thankyou very much!
We bring our war weary Steel Keshiks to the last city of Loki
And tried to negotiate peace for a price
Loki was not giving us medicine for peace. Well I tried, stubborn Persian.
SOOOOOOOOO.................
So 2 less Civfanatics in the world this segment. We called it a night figuring I have done enough damage here. A peak at the world
I am thinking we can grab Europe and Africa without getting close to the domination limit, but we need to tread lightly.
Victory conditions show
No one close to a culture win, and the biggest domination threat is TMIT and his 50,000 screaming Jaguars.
The diplomacy screen again shows
Now that is interesting, Dave jumping in against TMIT! Too bad Jaaboo and Sian finally got a truce but I think they are going to go at it again. Nevertheless our potential German foe has essentially crippled himself, taking the redheaded Jaaboo with him. Also JTMac99 and Bandobras have struck up a DP, which is fine as they can be ignored until later on.
Demographics
Still tops in soldiers and production, nothing else matters much.
And finally
A modest army on the borders of Egypt!
So I think it's time to bring more tanks from northern asia towards Tarsus, plus some air cover (yeah we are the only ones with flight) and then time to wipe DaveMcW off the map next segment. He has infantry and artillery but no tanks, nor flight.
In the east we are assmebling a mighty armada and may just load that up to take out Futurehermit's three Incan cities.
Enough for now!

Way to go Mad! I think you'll have to dance with the Domination limit after you've taken Europe and Africa. You could leave Jaaboo and TMIT to destroy last.
Just a thing: I think Defendo is playing Attacko in your game because he's much too passive. Has he gifted his guerilla skirmishers to other countries? No... Because it's Defendo!

Africa's land won't help too much. Take the Egyptian core, the mali core, and Zimbabwe, and burn the rest. Taking Europe and burning all the northern cities should keep you enough under the dom limit to be a proper khan and invade America before winning.

What's the best photo uploader?
I'm thinking of using my Facebook but I'm not sure if there are better.

I use photobucket, not sure which is the "best". Perhaps starting a a seperate thread will get you more answers.
There is a limited photobucket bandwidth for the free version.

^Yeah, this time I just uploaded it directly to CFC. I'm too lazy to do anything about it atm.
Beginning of my shadow.
Turn 0-60
The first pic (0000-0001 double screenshot
) is my start. Some civs start with pre-settled cities while others don't. I fixed it in WB and moved my city to 1E.
Nothing really happened during this period. I scouted and line-dotted my future cities and I also settled my 2nd city.

It's a MAD, MAD, MAd, MAd World: Part IX
Sorry for the delay Civfanatics, but the last segment took a very long time to play out. That's Modern warfare for you.
We built up our army, then got this request from TMIT
Far be it from me to refuse a request for a fellow war-maniac Madmad, we accept!
First thing we did was stage an enormous assault on the city of Taursus, which has quite an Egyptian army in the area. Using bombers and tanks we manage to destroy a massive stack that was tricked to come out by a smaller stack of ours. The result
With many Egyptian infantry and anti-tanks dead on the plains of the middle east.
While we have tanks, DaveMcW actually made excellent use of anti-tanks slowing our assault. So much so that I got a little bored and distracted, invading other leaders while conquering Africa.
Now old Mad Scientist is not completely without culture people, and has an artistic appreciation!
Yes, time to Rock and Roll all over Dave.
Meanwhile, that boredom I mentioned, well I decided to take it out on
Sorry Futurehermit, three backwards cities, your days are numbered here.
So while Mongolian infantry shoot up Incan Longbows, back to Egypt
Most important, the capital on the Nile
Not a bad haul there. I plan to keep all the Nile cities and perhaps a few more strategic ones, but most of the southern ones are going to be leveled.
In South America we begin purging the Chilean coast of Incan cities
While in Egypt we split our forces along the mediteranian coast, and deeper into the Nile region
We nabbed the Buddhist shrined holy city from Futurehermit
And burned it to the ground!. TMIT was quite agry at us, I never knew he was such a devout Buddhist, go figure.
BAck to Egypt, we marched into upper Egypt
At the same time
One less Civfanatic to fight! Futurehermit is no more, perhaps you should have expanded into teh Amazon a bit there FH, land is power after all!
Now, Europe has bene much too quiet lately, so I decided to keep our former threat Sian busy
So MadmanatW is busy with TMIT, Fred and Sian are at it, leaving Jaaboo sitting pretty and getting more and more displeased with us (damned fickle Russins!).
I must say, Dave is no Pansy here putting up a savage defense of his mighty Cottages, but the inevitable slowly comes
Slogging through Africa has it's merits, but can be tedious. So to entertain us a bit we decided to sent our Russian invasion force against Jaaboo (he of only rifle and cossacks) and start weakening him/her.
Of course, we are a curtious group and start war via the proper channels
Funny, Jaaboo did not appreciate the courtesy, I wonder why.
This got the world into a much more respectable order that any Khan can appreciate
A few weaklings staying out, but the major players (or those at least alive) are fighting somewhere. Except of course the Mighty Attacko who has the genius to stay out of everything.
After burning several bordering Russian cities.
We offered Jaaboo a deal
Not interested in committing the resources to utterly destroy Russia now, we merely wanted to cut them back a bit.
We finally have North Africa secured
And we healed a bit getting ready to set south Africa aflame.
We also brought our old Incan invasion force home for repairs, added some troops, and sent it westward
As you cna see we have advanced flight now, and currently stockpiling gunship anticipating a strong push against Attacko at a later time. For now the Armada is heading towards South Africa.
And we finally get a visit from michmbk!
Who is down to one city! Apparently TMIT is keeping him around since he needs sacrifices for his alters and England is putting up too much of a fight!
We also find out that MadmanAtWar built the UN
Fortunately, we got the chairmanship and can dictate world policy as we set in on fire.
Using our Navy and remaining land army we exterminate all Egyptians from the African continent
And we still have a substantial land force right on the border with Attacko
And to the north looking at those far off cities of his
Looking at diplomacy
Jaaboo trying to buddy up with JTMacc99 there. Not that it would deter us, but we shall let them have their secret trysts for now!
But fear not folks, dave is not dead yet
He has 1 city somewhere and is willing to give us medicine to keep it (unlike the foolish Persian who got killed keeping it).
I saved here while I am at peace.
A view of the demographics
Note the soldiers and production folks, nothing else matters.
Attacko is making a run at the culture victory! Gotta put an ugly to that soon.
So I think at this point we need to go after Attacko. After that finish off anyone on the Uerasia continent before going over seas!

Great fun! Yeah, a modern war on the Earth map is a lot easier to read about than it is to actually coordinate. There is something beautiful in killing people off and untangling that knotted Diplomacy screen, though, isn't there? I look forward to the grand finale!

I plan to utilize ALL the modern weapondry I can! Mobile Sams, Mobile Artillery, Stealth fighters, Modern armour! The whole nine yards. AND without Nukes, done enough of that before! Yeah, Invading TMIT with an entirely massive modern army, perhaps he will even have airships to shoot down by then!

28 million Peruvians would lynch you for saying that, and I'm proud to be one of them.Have you seen a map recently? Almost all of the Inca empire was in Peru, and partially in Bolivia/Chile/Ecuador/Colombia.
Hmmm, I apparently have had a geographical lapse in my memory!
Let me rephrase,
I purged the South American Pacific coast of all Incan cities although technically one of them was inland (I think MAchu Pichu).
My apologies to all the dead Incan souls, but better I killed them off before TMIT got around to adding them to his alters.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World: Part X
So the very next turn, we launched a full scale attack on
ATTACKO!!! Can MadScientist's Superior forces and intellect defeat Attacko's inferiors stragies??? Well. let's find out.
There are three principal areas I alooking at
West Africa
East Africa
North East Siberian
the strongest hammer falls on the Mali core area
Done very qickly via the sea! Our land troops head towards Timbuktu!
Meanwhile, out northern army has taken out Attacko's major Siberian city, a former Barb city
Our major African army has marched inland, taking the city of Jeanne
Very soon the Mali Culture threat has ended.
And we continued the assault on the West coast of Africa, keeping some of these cities.
Timbuktu fell without a big fight
Leaving West Africa under our complete control with East Africa the next target.
Also, Attacko tried a very daring move on us! He sent a Great General by himself from Africa to Siberia! Good thing we had a guarding Keshik, no telling how much damage that could have done. it is true!
Due to the Terrain, east Africa is always a pain to take
Soon Africa is completely ours, leaving Attacko with a few remnant cities in South America
We took peace with Attacko, focusing on our next move.
We are doing well, but I am not going to take anymore cities to avoid the accidental domination win.
And we have all the techs we need for Military except Stealth (well we do not have Fission, but I plan to win with conventional weapons). So we are stockpiling units in key areas
First, a view of our next target, Europe
Our naval invasion army
The Ural Mountain regiment.
And the Ottomans
Demographics
Shows we have an essentially unbeatable army here!
So the plans???
We attack MadmanatWar via the sea while starting the westward march accross the Russian plains. At that point we can decide whether to hit Rome or Germany, but sine JC has a few Roman cities to out north plus units still in Africa I think we can hold off a little bit.

Unescorted Great General units are the superior. They draw enemy forces away from their cities, leaving the core exposed to a Worker rush. If Workers can Road over the unforested tiles around a National Park city, they can prevent Forest Growth, depriving your enemies of much-needed specialists.
Just saying, Mad. It's all there in the appendices.
