As per the title, Im playing my first game at emperor difficulty after having a number of monarch no-brainer wins. I'd like some thoughts on the current state of the game and where I stand. I feel like I got a good start and just finished a successful campaign against the tech god. At the same time, I'm slightly concerned I might fall behind further in techs than I ever have been. Here are some screenshots of the map:
During my war with mansa, Haynua asked me to switch to buddhism which I did, I was hindu. Mansa was kind enough to provide me with the Jewish, Christian, Hindu and Taoist holy cities. No temples have been built, but I have a great prophet sleeping in my capitol.
My current plan is to finish off Mansa Musa in 15 turns or so. After which I'd like to try and get a little more use out of my war elephants and remove Hammi from my side of the desert. I planned on settling 1SW of Eshnunna, and another on the peninsula SE of Eshnunna. At that point, I'll need to see what the other continent looks like to determine my path to victory. My preference is normally domination.
If anyone has any thoughts or tips, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd really like to win this game.
* Forgot to mention, I'm extremely tempted to launch a strike at the buddhist holy city and raze it because I think it's providing Hammi with a boatload of money.
