So I finally finished my exams and upgraded to BNW. Shoshone, Earth, Huge, Marathon. Started in Alaska, colonised west coast USA, plus Panama. Sharing the continent with Oda, who started in Tennessee and pretty much had everything east of the rockies, plus Nicaragua. He DOW's, which I had seen coming a mile off and therefore bought two city states: Ur in Mexico, and Buenos Aires in South Dakota.
I have never seen CS allies so aggressive. Ur got pretty smashed in the initial onslaught, and pulled back to the city. I had no interest in taking Kagoshima (in Nicaragua), so I bombed it down to zero and kept it there, in the hope that Ur would come and take it instead. Which Ur duly did, using nothing but a treb and a 50hp pike (all that was left after the initial assault).
Meanwhile, Buenos Aires was a bit north of most of the action and I thought it might have been a waste of time buying them, until I noticed that they had marched all the way over to Oda's frontier city of Izumo on Hudson Bay! You could fit two cities in line between them.
I have never had such useful, aggressive allys. Has anyone else found this in BNW?
