I see your point and when the game came out I was in the same boat as you. I liked 1upt and thought that all can be fixed by making the AI better. It cannot. The problem is that a limited number of tiles imposes a cap on the size of your army, which puts a limit on tile yields. Consequently, you...
I am both very happy for this win and somewhat embarrassed by the fact that I lost a big chunk of my enthusiasm during the middle game. The end was a real emotional roller coaster because initially I thought that we are playing this game just out of formality, but then it turned out that we are...
Now I am sure, this game is laughing at us. The elections for secretary-general were (as Cosmichail noticed) between JC and Washington. JC won, but check the votes each side had:
MM 110
Hats 74
Washington 85
Us 138
Catherine 81
JC 138
Cyrus 114
Just one small, miserly vote prevented us from...
I have bad, bad news: Washington built the United Nations. It's really painful to report that, because initially I was exhilarated by our chances. It happened on my 6th turn with only 5 turns left til the completion of the UN. Let's decide what we are going to do now. Save attached.
Ok, here's the status report. The most important event was the completion of two SS Casings by MM. Apparently he's leading in the race of making "one small step for a man..." :)
A Great Merchant was born in our capital, I sent him to Russia, where he landed on my last turn. Hats offered us...
Very quiet turn. Some grenadiers were built, the religion was spread to malinease territory, (Mansa Musa is not deep in love with us.) Replaceable parts came on the 3rd turn, and I set the research to Physics. Unfortnuately everyone had Replaceable Parts, so no trades. The Forbidden Palace is...
I am sorry, I've been very absent-minded recently because of my upcomming exams :crazyeye: I would like to make it up to you, I can play now or immediately after Cosmichail.

Despite the odds (2,9%) our galley attacks and defeats Hatty's Caravel. Miracle. Traded pirinting press for guilds some money and map from JC. Started banking.

Caesar shows up:
We said no, but we are still good friends with him.

Hatty launches a sneak attack...
I agree with both of you. Playing against Washington alone is usually a big challenge when he's on the other continent. His traits' synergy is overpowered, and that's why they have changed them in the expansion, I think. With Cyrus and Mansa the things are just getting ridiculous... it's not...
We met two neighbors, started the Colosus, made some trades with JC.
Turn 0
Bombay micromanaged for growth, since happiness allows it.
Bargaining with JC ... traded Monarchy for Mathematics + 30 Gold. (Sorry no screenshot)

Mansa Musa:
He got the circumnavigation bonus.
