Is the aim conquest or domination? Would be easier if I knew I wouldn't have to worry about the flip-risk...

Pre turn We control 48% of the land. Dom limit is well within reach, lets put the pedal to the metal! 
Diplo check Were at war with everyone except the Japanese.
I rush 8 10 temples and every infantry I can find that is NOT on our home island, with the exception of a few elites. I dont bother auditing the builds as there are many tanks in progress, and thats all that really matters. Set some larger captured cities to starvation.
1555 ad (1) Nicopolis is recaptured by Egypt. Karakorum falls. Nicopolis is recaptured. Damn these are long turns! Mongols should be gone next turn.
1560 ad (2) Japs take Kazan after I did all the work.
Almarikh falls and Temujin is now a footnote in the history books. This gives me a small respite from the mounting WW. Both Erech and Sparta are taken from Egypt. Chitzen Itza or whatever falls.
1565 ad (3) After (no exaggeration) 30 or so tries, I finally get a leader. Capture Delphi, raze and replace Thermopylae. Capture Palenque.
1570 ad (4) We take Paris. Yaxchilan and Bonampak fall, ending the Mayan reign of terror. France down to three cities, Egypt has seven.
IT Crappy interturn. I lose two size 1 cities to stupidity, then a tank spawns a leader on defense and promptly loses to the next attacker.
1575 ad (5) The rng tries to right its wrongs by giving me another leader as I take Argos. While Im at it I grab Athens, Corinth, and Avaris. Cleo has one more day to enjoy living. Joan has two. She loses Rheims this turn.
IT Both Athens and Paris flip back.
1580 ad (6) Found city north of Paris. The name that comes up is Bagacum.
Re take Paris. We lose 4 tanks on 2 inf in size 5 Abydos. Retake Athens and the rest of the formerly glorious Egyptians land. Take Orleans after destroying the 12 or so defenders. Realize I overestimated for Joan. Finsh her off by taking Tours.
1585 ad (7) -
I found this pretty amusing...
These turns took a horrendously long time, which is why I didn't go for conquest, though I probably could have completed that within my turns as well.
Thank you all for a great game, it was certainly my pleasure.

Wow, this is much faster than I thought! I had expected 20 turns.
Well done, and you certainly got your pie after I stole it from SESN1.
Great game all. Sorry I kinda hijacked CVN's role as game host, as I just wanted to push the game to the end while she seemed a little busy.

Yes, I guess you're right, Microbe. I did get my pie, and it was mighty tasty indeed.
