Civ3 GOTM #1 *Spoiler* talks

[Camplate]

I won't be able to turn in my game until Sunday, but I am the bottom of the barrel. I was playing until midnight last night and started again this morning, had to go to work in year 2146.

I built no wonders, was way behind in tech and money, but the AI isn't pushing me too much. I don't like war, it seems wrong, but from now on I'm going to roll like Patton. One question I have: a different game I never attacked anyone, but was swallowing cities with culture. When the UN vote came up I got three and another culture got 3, with one abstaining. I was pissed because HE was always attacking me. I would just rebuff his troops and continue empire building, never attacked his cities. Doesn't past history mean anything?

The Americans erased the Iroqouis early, them and (green) took out the Zulus much later. I had the (red) on the ropes, then backed-off because of war weariness. I had three cities flip back to (red) even though my culture was better. In one city I had a huge number of troops inside, poof gone. The first one I had justed rushed the forbid palace with leader and two turns later it flipped. The last only had a piker, I just finished a temple normally, and it flipped THE NEXT TURN. I had the city for a long time.

Always learning.

*1.17 patch*

Xerxes the Magnificent dominated the world in 1060 AD for a score of 4009. On the map it seemed we had over 2/3 of the land for some time already but
looks may be deceiving. At the finish line Persia controlled 92,900 square miles, supporting a population of sligtly over 10 million souls.
America was the only other civ left with 6 cities on their starting continent (they had killed the Iroquois one turn after we contacted them) and just about entering the second age, while Persia was on the brink of discovering Democracy.
The Persian immortals were, well, immortal.
They began with driving back the Aztecs, started our Golden Age (4 turns of it spent in anarchy, urggh!), chased the Zulus all over the world, produced one Leader (Forbidden palace in Hamadan, south of Tenochtitlan) and were busy beating up the American swordsmen when suddenly the game was over. We never had more than 8 or so at a time but that was plenty.
Persia built the Colossus, the Hanging Gardens and the Great Wall, and conquered the Oracle (Babylon) and the Lighthouse (Zulu).
America built the Pyramids, and completed the Great Library one or two turns before Persia destroyed the last Zulu city.
