Singlemalt (and gcm)
It's funny to hear you say that with respect to Bis and Brennus - our games went so differently because of early decisions. I worker stole Bis early and stunted him for 60+turns, allowing me, Izzy and Brennus to all rex. As a result, Bis never got huge - he got some decent stacks, but never anything all that dangerous to me. Meanwhile Brennus got absolutely huge - he had so much land and so many cities that he sent two stacks towards me when I finally went to war with him totaling 230 units.
So my simple decision to hit Bis early made Brennus the power and Bis the whipping boy.
gcm, I'll try to look at your save tonight, but I saw the others tech down the combustion line (railroad makes sense, but not as much combustion on pangaea, so I got a military tech advantage by beelining fascism for assembly line, a GG and being close to artillery. That's what I would heard toward if you're planning military action. I'll take a look at your save later.
