So my first monarch game, playing as the persians (the worst game i've ever played... score was only 2100, it was a bad bad effort). but anyways... the whole game i was lacking in culture, as you can see in the screens which was kind of a worry, but not too much. anyways i continued my war with the mongols and iroqoius, tweedling my thumbs thinking things aren't too bad until i look at the culture in 1908 (screen).
So I'm way behind, they are looking at 75000 and mapstats telling me they are going up 540 some odd per turn which gives me less than 50 turns until they win. so take them out is really the only option considering my culture is around 10k. But take a look at the map from 1908...
So it was a daunting task none the less. By the way I should mention, in 1816 i had 11 full galleys on the way to the babylonian island there, when the idiot Celts attacked me. So the ships ended up reversing course and heading towards the Celts, which as you can see in the 1908 shot went rather well. I think I killed over a hundred units the turn i landed alone.
After that I took the remainder of that force, plus a bunch of others and assaulted Bablyon. I had to abuse my ROP, but managed to take out their capital in the first turn, and went from there. Lost a lot of units along the way, but manged to take out the babylonians, but check out how close I came to losing in the victory screen shot..
I went on to win the game but only got 2100 as my score.. I played so badly. Never built any infastructure.. never bothered with any culture.. pretty much was mobilized from nationalmism on. It worked out, but not exactly the most effective method for score. but anyways wooo go me first monarch victory.
PS I have saves from all kinds of spots in the game if someone wants to look or try themselves to see if they can stop the babylonian cultural victory.
