I think I should have started world war 1, but I didn't. Just almost.

1400AD(0) You were not kidding when you said you collected our troops in Dusseldorf.
I say it is time for WW1. Russia is closest, so they are first, then we will hammer France into submission, while building our fleets.
Scratch plan A. Planting a spy in Russia succeds. Investigation of Sevastapol shows it to be defended by a single rifleman.
Since there are five Persian cavs outside that city, the time to strike is now. I get 40 gold from Persia for a declaration of war against Russia.
I use four Artillery to erdline the rifleman, but he kills our attacking cav anyway. He also kills the second cav. The third cav makes it a matter of honor to redline before winning.
IBT: Wines now cost 30 gpt. As I am not certain of our happines needs, I accept. See france losing an infantry attacking MOscow across the river.
1405AD(1) After a couple of Artillery MOscow is size 1 defended by three redlined riflemen. We advance our infantry and Cavalry.
Rush a library in Sevastapol for some quick culture.
IBT: Aztecs gets Scientific method for their Ivory. Babs and France sign MPP. This might be funny.
We get mass production. France almost capture MOscow as they kill two of the redlined riflemen. Silk and Furs run out. I notice we have a lot of empty cities. WIll want to have at least a single soldier.
( Want to keep AIs from trying sneak past the front. )
1410AD(2) What is it with these redlined riflemen. Our first cav bites it. Our eliet Cav makes the russian people a thing of the past.
I start to move a Transport southwards. Target for this is Frances rubber. Decide that infantry warfare is not really suited for democracy. Try to plant a spy in Paris though.
Failure. We have Panzers in four, lwith a 155 gpt surplus.
IBT: Nada.
1415AD(3) ON a whim I demand Persia leave our territory. WOnder of wonders, he declares on us. WOnder what deals he
broke now. German artillery soon have the Cavlry down to redlines. Then this happens. Remember my luck against the russians ?
With only three more turns until Motorized transportation, and Tanks, I debate if I should save Barbarossa or make an army of infantry.
We are militaristic, so I make an army. I use Barbarossas army to get a kill with an army.
Switch Leipzig to Heroic Epic, and Berlin to Military Academy. I manage to plant a spy in Persia, but fail to plant in France this turn too.
IBT: Ooops, our golden age ends. I have not remembered to set happiness. Lets hope not too much goes into disorder.
1420AD(4) I debate if I should sink Persian shipping, but decide against it. I would like the chance of promotions as well as leaders.
I join some twenty workers into cities with room for them.
1425AD(5) Not much.
IBT: We get Motorized Transportation. We also get the Heroic Epic. I set research at Flight. AFter flight, we may as well just turn off
science for a while. POssibly we would want to get Fission, and United Nations. For some reason I doubt we will get elected...
1430AD(6) Sets many cities on Panzers. Have some hope of getting at least two cities at +100 spt for Panzers every turn.
IBT: Not much.
1435AD(7) Since we are about to go to war against France, I kill off the persian ships. We would not need to wait for them to land.
I get 98 shields per turn in Konigsberg at size 20
. Decide to run Frankfurt on a shortage in food, in order for it to get more than 50 spt.
1440AD(8) oooo,
Just realized how stupid I have been killing off the Persian ships before they could land troops. Sigh.
If the Persians want to land troops, I will let them, in order for Babylonians to be busy when we strike at France.
IBT: Nada
1445AD(9) I will leave here. I do not have the patience to wait for a slow Persian Galley to land their cargo, and trigger our MPP with Babs.
I also do not want to declare a world war with us against the world just as I am about to hand over to the next player. I will let next player decide.
I do believe we have enough forces to grab the world, it will just take a bit longer if we have to fight everybody at the same time.
