In my current game I am playing in continents as Tokugawa and was born in the wrong continent. In the less developed continent. Initially my idea was to get a Permanent Alliance with some other civ, but when I found the other continent, I immediately had another idea. A very ambitious idea.
The powerhouse in this game is Julius with his over 2x and still growing power ratio over mine. He also has two vassals on his continent and is playing very aggressively. Techwise we are about equal, but both his vassals are more technologically advanced than me. So I thought, could it be possible to take on that monster Julius and kill him off by the end game?
To do that, I will have to claim my continent for myself - I need that land if I'm going to catch up on Julius. Or at least as much as I can - both Julius and Alexander, the other military monster, are claiming little bits of my continent already. So immediately when I had some cannons I declared on Montezuma as well as his master Wang Kon. Killed Monty and doing the same to Wang right now. After that, I will have to build a large navy and units for overseas conquest. It shouldn't be impossible to catch up with Julius with more land, and the game is only halfway.
Or is it? Is this doable on Noble, or am I reaching for the moon? I know what you think - of course it's doable, higher level players do it all the time. But is there anything that I should know attempting to do something like this? If I can pull this off, I know I'm ready for the next level.
