After surviving attacks from a couple Babylonian naval vessels, including an attack on our transport by a destroyer, the turn continues. Many newly captured cities are coming out of their initial disorder and a few others enter into WLTLD celebrations.
We discover Combined Arms and Nuclear Fission, and then start Nuclear Power.
1818 AD We land a recon team on the main Babylonian continent. It scouts out the cities and existing rail system, while securing a fortified position near their capital. The combat engineers that accompanied the team starts to build more need rail systems for the pending invasion.
Naval actions eliminate all visible Babylonian combat surface ships.
Transports are scare on the front lines, so more are being rush built to accommodate the troops we have waiting on the opposite shore. Crippled Artillery units are sent to the rear to repair in the nearby barracks.
Freight deliveries are made across the map to provide a cash and science boost.
Rush buying happens all over the map.
The Babylonians attack with a submarine and lose again. They land a lone Calvary on our contient.
Nuclear power discovered to help speed our ships. Recycling also discovered. Rocketry started.
1820 AD Troops flood onto the Babylonian continent via the newly purchased transports. All known Babylonian cities on this continent have been emptied of troops.
With the fate of the Babylonians all but done, troops that were being moved up to the front lines are being disbanded to aid in the rush buying of various city improvements.
Spies that were otherwise sitting idle practiced their skills of sabotaging a Babylonian Submarine and Transport. Both units are now left crippled off our coast.
Over in Barb country, a cruiser attacks a stack of Barbs to find that there were 95 units in the square, all of whom were destroyed.
1822 AD Babylon captured, capital moved to Ashur. Ashur captured. Ellipi Captured. Nineveh Captured. Ur Captured. We now own all Wonders that have been built.
Babylonians have dropped to Communism.
1824 AD Eridu found and purchased. Uruk purchased. The Babylonians are now down to one inland city (Samarra) that has an Alpine trooper and a wandering Calvary unit. Two full transports are being sent over to make sure the city is secure.
Every city that has at least one shield is rush built.
1826 AD Some last minute Barbs slapping happens. Our lone Cruiser takes out another stack of Barbs and takes 89 more Barb units off the map. Cities prepared for end turn score boost. Last Babylonian city is purchased.
Last Babylonian City:
Game ends.
Powergraph: Interesting how it doesnt reflect our slight downturn in the game.
Final Score:
Score Summary:
I could have spent another turn or two building the last Wonders and letting the cities grow more, but there didn't seem to be much point to it. As it was, I got the population to jump from 38.5 million to 64.5 million people.
