Round 5
Started the round by making some trades, never a bad way to start I find!
Liberalism was completed, I selected Military Tradition for Cuirassiers. Next was Gunpowder.
Took the barb city, it has nice food.
[picture not included as I have 30 already]
And as I already posted, I got dumbluck and popped iron.
Gandhi was feeling arrogant...
I completed Moai... it became a much better city at that point.
A non-impressive city becomes a production powerhouse with sufficient size and the whip...
I'll include some more screenshots in the spoiler below to show you the frequency I whipped. Stacking whip anger is not a bad idea. The spy specialist was the governor's doing, it never actually was used.
After a while of doing this about everywhere, I had a decent stack:
Of course Karma bit me in the *** and almost all of my spies got caught... still odds are pretty good.
I captured several cities early in the war, such as:
Another mine pop:
A GG medic-3 is always good to keep the war going fast! All other GGs were settled in my HE city.
I took Delhi next, which was quite a prize.
Then Bombay...
Varanasi...
Lahore, and the south is all mine.
My forces are quite diminished at this point and I have no spies left (only 1 revolt worked! aaaaaaaaah). I'm thinking I'll take a 10-turn peace deal, then hit him with Cavalry.
Techs
My new land...
How do I proceed after Gandhi is out of the picture? Is it cottage-spam time? Should I focus on production or specialists?
