The Mighty Khan Segment 9: Start of the Celtic war, part 2 WAR! Since Brennus will not talk to us since we closed borders, we had to do the war thing rudely Just march the horde into Celtia. The first few turns strategy was simple, a dual attack on the city of Nemetocenna taking any stray...

The Mighty Khan Segment 9: Start of the Celtic war, part 1 the buildup The Khan considers all his options. This Celtic empire will not be as easy as the inept Germans or Foolish Americans. To start, Mongolia must fully embrace this "Buddhist" religion that is spreading over the continent...

The Mighty Khan Segment 8: The End of America part 2 So the results of the AP vote come in Well, that was expected I guess. The segment proceeded without a "Peace" vote, but there may be some real concerns for future wars against our Buddhist friends/victums. Meanwhile the great city of...

The Mighty Khan Segment 8: The End of America part 1 The time for building the economy and military is done, time for the Mongols to start expanding! The main horde stands outside the borders of our newest best friend Brennus While a smaller group of Mongol soldiers plan to level the...

The Mighty Khan: Building the Empire and Horde The Khan considers all his options: continued war, expansion, infrastructure. Hmmmmmm 'PATIENCE!" SO we have a short segment here, essentially preparing for the next major phase of Mongolian expansion. My experience is we can go through a...

The Mighty Khan Segment 6: The Destruction of Washington, continued The Mongol horde approaches Washington and is disgusted at what it finds. FDR has been transferred to a safer site, and the city has been put in the hands of a dysfunctional legislature and an insane governor who has the most...

The Mighty Khan Segment 6: The Destruction of Washington The Khan addresses his soldiers: "Time to get to work gentlemen, time to get to work." FDR is not too happy with us, apparently he was OK declaring war on the Mongolians but not too happy once we reciprocated the favor. Ghengis...

I played Civ V for years and always got tired of it. Never went to Civ VI. Once I retired I committed to CIV IV once I got a new laptop, and have not regretted it. Sort of like chess, once you have a great/complex/deep game with known rules why change. If I want a new game I wait for my...

Segment 4: Invasion of Germany, Part 1 The Mighty Khan addresses his people. "No, I am just Ghengis right now and not worthy of the title MIGHTY. To earn that name and to lead the Mongolians as the greatest civilization on earth we must expand off this land. While the territory is not so bad...

Played out the next segment and will post tomorrow. ViterboKnight, thanks for the advice and we did move along with the invasion:cowboy: I agree that is what historical Genghis did. But this is MadScientist's Khan (common for me to butcher real history!) and we do not share power! ALL must...

Segment 3: Building The Early Horde The Khan directs his people to research Math. Maximizing chopping forests is important, especially when it appears we must leave out home-base shores. However, Mongolian warriors are beginning to see signs of Barbarians Nothing difficult for chariots...

For the record, the Khan is pretty damned smart so yes he favors economic traits (Math/currency). Math is a good idea for the chopping bonus. And yes, the RPCs are back! Retired January 1 and have all the time in the world to replay the RPCs.

Correction, the iron is outside the BFC but within the capital culture.
