Huh I never finished with the final report I guess, I could've sworn I did. Well I don't have pictures anymore on current computer, but yeah William won diplo, I'm like 95% sure. I might do another round since I'm coming back to an 'on' in my on-off habits, but we’ll see.

hahaha believe it or not, I do not. Anyway, got to play some again this weekend, so here are the early 300s developments: - Even after peace Catherine and I continue wasting our GGs on petty tit-for tat citadel bombing. Also, as you can see, My Dutch allies have finally made the long trek to...

So a lot happens around the late 200s, so apologize if I skip over anything. I'm realizing I forgot to mention that in stark contrast to his performance last time, Gustavus of Sweden becomes the second dead civilization after simultaneous war with ALL of his immediate neighbors at once somehow...

Two Nice things about minutemen: a)They get sentry, meaning terrain is ignored and the can travel the snowy hellscape twice as fast as their Rusky counterparts. b)They are Cheap, and as unique units, dont automatically become obsolete once gatling guns are discovered. Meaning, I can build and...

The danger of immediate attack isn't actually as dire as it might first seem. For one thing, with America's special abilit to turn tile purchases into production, I can knock on walls and a castle almost immediately. I also have some military units already on their way, while Catherine's are in...

The next 50 turns or so aren't all that eventful for me, I basically just try and play catch up with culture and science, and to a lesser extent my military, though soon thats enough that my allie finally start offering defensive pacts. I take up the Dutch and Polynesia's offers, but decline...

I did think about trying but honestly, It's moreso that I'm not positive I could have expected to keep it . I doubt I could maintain control for more than a turn at a time just based on Harald's land army, and I'd rather have a buffer satellite state as an ally that would keep increasing my...

One other thing happening around this period is Dutch expansion to the north. at first this does not really bother me, I mean look at this: I get the value of the general area, but this is one of those baffling specific tile choices I might have ever seen. I've noticed before that the AI in...

Thanks, glad to hear!

Coulda seen this coming. Luckily I'd already been focusing on building up my army to an adequately mediocre size, so I wasn't completely unprepared for a military campaign from Harald Bluetooth the Wireless. I also think that despite his ramblings, the real reason for his war declaration might...

Been a busy week, but I'm back. Anyway, The settling conundrums continue: Oh HELL no William. I actually asked him to not settle near me, however, and to my surprise he listened. Damn right. Danish expanionsism continues unabated, however, and its hard not to feel like conflict is...

I sent my redirected settler to a river/port area within 3-tile reach of horses, Coral and gold, + iron and extra horses just 4 tiles away. Though a bit far from my mainland, this city does have the potnetial to serve as a real gateway to the west, so I named it St. Louis because I think I heard...

On turn 91, I get the prophet my people have assuredly been anxiously awaiting. Mine will be the third religion founded, which is pretty good all things considered, but the pantheon I chose (Stars and Sky: tundra resource tiles get culture, food and faith bonuses) is kind of OP on this map...

Oh my God, not only is does it look like that Northeastern landmass is really a small, unconnected frozen continent, It's literally inhabited by Sidon again. They even gave me dromon to "join my expedition" as I'm the first one to bother exploring up here I guess. Unfortuantely, the "port" city...

I'd be remiss to say though, I'm having some other territorial issues in the southern realms. Honestly I was seriously considering sending out my next settler to that area, not that exact tile but just one over to the southwest, where it could also make use of Solomon's Mines (and put me in...
