I have been fooling around on a deity here and there for a while and decided to play a full game. I chose something easy for the first time. Science victory with Babylon. I won in about 325 turns not bad but was kinda frustrated that I was only able to pump out 3 cities. I planned on dropping a 4th city but due to happiness had to hold off then it was too late. Persia snagged my location. I didn't want to go to war since I only had 6 CB's and 2 Knights and they were my nieghbor I would need them for a much larger threat, the russians. I pretty much went the whole game without a conflict by wheeling and dealing others to delcare war on each other untill the last 30 turns or so. Russia brought a massive army with 3 atomic bombs but they never laid one on me. The only thing I could think of is that the way the city was set up Persia had 2 close boarders to it and would have hit there land if they dropped it. I made sure to spread out my units to defend on the flank and not have them bunched up so that if they did drop a A-bomb it would be minimal loss. All in all I am happy that I won the game but found myself scared to push the AI around because it was a science game. I now realize that I will have to step it up if I want to take on a domination game.
