The map had 2 continents,and I was on the smaller continent with 2 neighbours.
Tokugawa /// Me(Qin Shi Huang)
Cyrus Asoka /// Hammurabi
Brennus /// Montezuma
Of course,at beginning,I only knew that Montezuma will found a religion,but it's still not safe to follow,and I might defeat Hammurabi without much difficult as CKN can defeat bowman easily.
Worker,then Great Wall(CKN tactics need a great spy,otherwise I have to build a lot of catapults and may miss the chance),settler,settler(Oracle in the second city),worker......until I had 5 cities.I got Metal casting by Oracle,and then researched alphabet as it's unlikely to get alphabet from other 2 AIs on time.
I stealed some tech from Hammurabi and researched Machinery in 200AD,it's not very fast,but fast enough on an small continent with only 2AI.And I realized that Hammurabi chose his own religion and abandoned Montezuma's.(Even if hammurabi did not change religion,I would also change it by spy as I had to make sure that Montezuma should not help Hammurabi)
In 600AD,I created enough CKNs and launched the war,Hammurabi was still 10 rounds from longbowman,but unfortunately,Montezuma was busy,and I was not able to ask Montezuma to join the war from beginning.(Montezuma might be planning to invade me,as the option became white again in the war,when I was creating more and more CKNs and the military strength was increasing sharply)
As I planned,Hammurabi was defeated without much effort,and I got 4 wonders in his capital,at the last stage of the war,Montezuma declared war on Hammurabi and took 2 cities,but that's really good for me,as I got a friendly relationship with Montezuma and that meant I was safe on the continent and I could ask Montezuma to attend the war when I needed.
During the war,I stealed code of laws(Hammurabi firstly discovered in the real world and also in this game),and then researched civil services and paper by myself.Asoka arrived this continent first,and I traded world map at once(Luckily,after I got Asoka's map,I found out the world is round at once,but I did not have any ship,that's funny),at that time,Asoka did not have paper,so I think it's still possible to get liberalism first as I guess Asoka should be the most advanced on other continent.
Unfortunately,I did not have philosophy,and I could not create Great scientist at once,so I finally lost liberalism to Asoka for only 4 rounds.
Asoka and Cyrus were on the one side,Brennus and Tokugawa were on the other side.War broke out sometimes.With enough land area,my condition was good,so I decided to wait until I was fully recovered from the first war.(when I finally defeated hammurabi,I was already at the edge of bankrupt,that was also the reason why I failed to get liberalism).
At that time,I could only trade techs with Asoka,Cyrus and Montezuma,and I could only research some cold lines and trade with them.Tokugawa never trade techs,and Brennus was the worst enemy of all.I created a great engineer and a great merchant,and waited for the railroad and medicine.I got medicine first,and railroad second.With two corporations on my hand,I knew that I would win the game.
I planned a war against Tokugawa when I got bombers and tanks,as I knew that Tokugawa would be left behind.But bombers needed a city to take off,so I needed a limited war to get the first city.I prepared 30 units,including enough cannons and infantries for this attack,and they got a city and hold it firmly until I could make peace treaty.(at that time,I could not transport more units at one time as I did not create enough transports,and I could not win the war only with cannons,infact,I lost all the cannons in the siege battle)
I did not research all the techs I needed for this war,instead,I found out that I could got Internet as Asoka did not research computers.Sometimes the Three Gorge Dam and Internet can decide who is the winner,and at this time,I got both.
The last part of this game was a world war.All remaining sides attended.Although Brennus also attended the war with all his units,more and more bombers,tanks,modern armors and mechanized infantries landed at my airport and I got the second,third,forth,fifth and sixth cities from Tokugawa easily(Tokugawa did not have flight,so I did not need any fighter!In fact I had jet fighters already.So if Tokugawa is not your neighbour,you should laugh because you can easily defeat him later because of tech advantage).Finally,Tokugawa surrendered.Cyrus built the UN,and I won diplomatic victory after the war as other 3 sides voted for me.
