This is the first time I am posting in this forum but I was looking for some strategic advice:
(I have attached the saved game):
Some facts and figures:
I have chosen a random leader and ended up with Hiawatha. I found the fountain of youth early in the game and close to my capital - this gave me some happy-room to expand early in the game. Then (as usual) Washington declared - so I had to take him out. Then Ramsess declared but I wasn't powerful enough to kill him. I defended decently and haven't lost any city to him. Then Rome declared on me so I had to kill them (that worked). Then (all of the sudden) another civ showed up - Ghandi. Not powerful at all back then, way out there on the map so I didn't care. I was first in Literacy, first in soldiers and GNP so I thought - well I will go the apollo-route to win the game. But then the skinny indian got totally crazy. He took out Germany first, then Egypt and kept suggesting to kill off Darius (who is really waaaaaay out there). he wanted to be friends so I said yes (since everyone else hated me for killing Rome). Then I realized that I slipped back in literacy to the second position (difference was just 2 techs but still) and Ghandi was allied with ALL (!) city states... He is also nbr 1 on the scoreboard now. So I thought well - my army is not so weak so I can keep up and defend if he attacks. He didn't seem to have replacable parts but a wicked nbr of artilleries. So, given that he finished Patronage has himeji castle AND the Kremlin, the only option that I had was to kill off some of his allies. I killed now one easily (Southeast) but that pissed him off. He finished the Manhattan Project 2 turns ago but I am 16 turns away from the bomb but I have Nuclear fision already. - BUT(!!!) although my empire is pretty big I have NO(!!!!) Uranium and no city state has uranium I believe... What to do? If I keep killing off city states that crazy dude is going to bomb me away...
Any ideas?
Thanks
