With siege in hand, a secure southern flank ... this becomes a pretty standard CR 2-3 rollup domination.
Declare on JC 150 AD ... Cumae 225, Rome 375, Antium 660 (then peace JC in exile offshore)
Declare on Musa 980 ... Dejenne 1020, Timbuktu 1110, Gao 1170, Kumbi Salah 1220 (then peace with Musa in exile offshore).
Declare on Liz 1340 ... York 1420, London 1480, Nottingham 1530, Huamanga 1550 (Liz dead).
At this point, I am deep enough into game that I decide to go diplo and max score, thinking that will be better for points in the globals than a late dom.
1680 I get to state property ... 1832 UN and 1848 Diplo win ... 7921 base and 68,212 final scores.
After a few nervous moments being at war with Sal with no troops, once we made peace it was all pretty uneventful. The war getting Sal out of expansion mode made all the difference I think, even more than the impact of his worker loss and my worker gain.
