Not the pretties of games, but it got the job done.

I was worried a little bit after the last turn. I was capturing Aztec cities so I could advance to the next city. When the turn was done, I had 67% of the land mass and 100% of the population. I didn't see that until the IBT started and MapStat flashed up on the screen.

Panic.

I wasn't sure if I was going to win a Conquest or Domination victory! Fortunately, I got the Conquest.

This was my first time to have a double win, too.
 
Welcome, Bob. We've been expecting you. :mwaha:
 
Nice. :goodjob:

Do you name all your units?
I did early in the game, and then just got out of the habit.

As CBob03 progressed (Monarch, Huge, Pangea, Cultural Victory), I saw more and more that excessive naming of units, especially after 1000 BC, can be a real drag. So even I stopped naming the new workers.

However, I also picked up the habit from Quintillus in his Conquest of the World of naming my armies after the leader that was created. If the name repeats, well, then, just slap a Roman numeral to the end (Singh, Singh II, Singh III, etc.) Armies that are built, not leader created, get either boring names like 1st Sword Army or 5th Cavalry Army, or sometimes something off the wall, like the Army of Oboes we had in CBob03. (Well, we were naming our cities after German composers, so an Army of Oboes wasn't too strange. :D)
 
I name Elite* units after the leader they create. I like to shove them in the armies as well to get the most healthy armies.

Any chance of some early screenshots?
