60 years into the war with the Vietnamese, Japan's distinctive red color has been erased from the mini map. Tokyo fell in 1090, right after the declaration of Dinh Tien Hoang (having the cultural advantage was very very handy 
). The city of Edo became ours the following turn. Meanwhile, we failed with the lightning attempt with three knights on Kyoto. Two archers were killed, but the only spearman was able to hold his ground. Between turns, a Japanese wandering swordsman got back to the capital, and an axeman appeared there as well, so we couldn't finish it. But anyway, Osaka was razed in 1110 after being bombarded to 12%. This city was settled one tile nearer to the desert and also farther to the river, so despite of it having Confucianism spreaded, Dinh Tien Hoang decided to burn everything to the ground and let a new city to be founded on a better spot. This year saw the destruction of a brand new Japanese city as well. Its name was... err... 
hmm ok we can't remember it the appearance was too short to be memorized 
Roughly described, it was settled down next to our swordsman in the south with two defenders, so naturally he took it as a chance to practice some raiding techniques. It actually cost him two turns and most of his hit points to destroy the city. Finally, ten years later, Dinh Tien Hoang entered the streets of Kyoto, revealing one of the last places on the map we haven't know of 
Now the Japan civilization has been wip... oh wait:
Bah, so Toky has evacuated into Satsuma the famous 1 pop 1 tile capital we forgot to take
Come on, get out and grab our Great prophet as a revenge! Or the worker is ok, whatever 
No? Then meet our longbows, and goodbye, Tokugawa. Next time, try to be nicer to us, and you may get a better place than this hole...

I'll satisfy you all then 
Inevitably, Dinh Tien Hoang had to come to a conclusion that this guy is really plotting something against us 
A world cannot hold two warmongers, and one of them must die sooner or later 
With four wonders and at least two more on the way, no wonder this city is one of the key elements in the Vietnamese's success. It's also the biggest triumph of Dinh Tien Hoang so far. Chen Ni has contributed to our empire with one culture for each city, a free tech of Machinery and one happiness! However, due to its position near the battlefield, Chen Ni is suffering from serious unhappiness, whereas all our other cities aren't. The second place is of course reserved for Hanoi, the Vietnamese great capital with marvelous resource concentration, a river, towns and a Great library. That's not taking into account the fact that Hanoi had to share, or even give, some of its valuable tiles to other weaker surrounding cities. On the contrary, Namdinh, which is founded in 940AD, makes an unexpected appearance in this list thanks to an enormous amount of culture a great artist has granted to (by the way, what does the game use to rate cities? My wild guess is that it is based on culture which city produces the highest culture in 2050 at the current rate will make it into the list. Anyone knows about this?) Number four is somewhat another surprise. Mecca, the Arabian no-food-lack-production capital has done very well 
Not only its cottages are now matured, the Mahabohdi also makes this city our best gold hub. The fifth place is used to celebrate Hồ Chí Minh and the city under his name. Without direct access to a river and a lack of decent hammers, by swapping tiles with its brother city Hanoi and an extensive use of the whip, Hochiminh city has grown into a big power of the world...
Now that his military campaign is having to race with his empire's domination speed, Dinh Tien Hoang launches his final assault on the opponent's last citadel.
