Amount of units witch Mao had was insane to be honest theres no way that i could take him out without tech lead.


Edit
Spoiler :

Maybe i write something about game plan.
So here he DoW on me.

I could DoW in him ealier becosue i had Rifles,Cannons and gold to upgrade this army, but i jsut didnt feel like i can take him out and i was so close to AL and Al and artillery and i just was not worth it i think.

Another reason was i didnt want to whip my cities anymore i had lot of :mad: from prev war.
I just whip Factories and Coles, go for 2nd GA sw in to Caste and pacifism (though i could run some guys) found mining wich gave me +9:hammers: and i could 1-2 turns Infantry and artillery ...decent producion.
And yea thats it.
If i go for cannons and rifles i would loose for sure ;p.

I killed 109 Rifles,86 Knights and 86 Cannons ... that unit spam was insane.

Now situation looks like this it will be hard task to take out Wang and Victoria.

Do you think stealing tiles is worth it ?

Cyrus-Kublai war made for a safe diplo this time.


Oops ! I did it again.
If you wonder where the commerce comes from, 150 AD :

Time to adopt a religion and switch civics.


This situation was achieved, mostly, thanks to 5 cities @ 2000 BC.
Writing came up late but Granaries were early and the 5 early cities yielded tremendous production.
 
@ BornInCantaloup

I would say is not. With this BPT you can be at MT in like no time. Better wait until then.
Btw this is insane BPT at 1AD :D.
And thats what i though saying this is interesting map theres so much river everywhere, and i was thinking, will some1 cottage everything ... :goodjob:.
Allso grabing this part of land is v impressive. iirc i went for duble settler at s3 and couldnt grab this land.

About tremendous production.

Ouch ! These screens :lol: You must have had some fun warring :goodjob:
You got yourself well back into the game. I wondered if you'd go for nukes. It probably was a good choice. Especially if...
... Did you have to prevent an AI from winning Culture ?


@ Cottaging :
Yes, we're FIN, there's lots of food and riverside.
I've been a bit brainless about it : just teching up aimlessly.
I think you're right that planning an invasion would be better than zerging cities.
The only difficulty, once the first stages of the game were passed, came from the very low variety of resources : corn, pigs and ivory, that's about it.

One thing I did well, despite the absence of plan & compared with my usual games, is getting my GPs. I'm now working on the 5th and I spawned some from 3 different cities (got a spare scientist, so prolly it is PP into Nationalism).
 
Well with such a strong mining i can do whatever i want to be hoenst.
Nukes are kind of fun and i needed to vassal some1 on other continent that way i dont have to transport troops there, i just airlift them :D in to vassal cities. And nukes allows to do it(vassal) fast especialy if you are going against moust adv civ.
I didnt have to stop anybody from going culture closest civ have now 30k,25k i even completly forget about it but this wasnt/isnt threat.

Though choice for tech from Lib, PP is definetly awsome with that many cottages. Natio is ok since you have marble and Astro is great too hard to pick.
 
1905 dom.
Finished map, iam not saying that i won it becose i reloded couple of times have to admit, but yea with such a stron mining i was unstopable force so never give up if you can faund corps.

Nice, yyeah, I appaud at your persistance ! :goodjob:
I've yet to use nukes & win a seemingly lost game.

Though choice for tech from Lib, PP is definetly awsome with that many cottages. Natio is ok since you have marble and Astro is great too hard to pick.
In this case, it wasn't so hard :
Astro is the clear pick. I've 2 caravels coming out next turn. Trade routes are well worth the bonus from PP. Also, I can get about 40gpt from trading resources, extra health, extra happiness, tech trades and knowledge of the remaining AIs tech level.

Printing Press will clearly come next, since I've a GS ready to bulb 2/3 of it. It would be a 2-turns research.
At 450 AD, I have 21 villages, 18 hamlets, 6 cottages and 1 town, so a little less than 50 "cottage" tiles. PP will give a nice gain but nothing tremendous.

Nationalism is the tech I should think more about, maybe. It seems to me it's off my tech path.
Maybe I should focus on getting free GPs off Economics/Communism/Physics, rather than going for the very expensive Taj. I don't have the Mausoleum of Mausoles, too.
I'm not sure the Taj Mahal alone offsets for the cost of the tech.
In fact, it probably doesn't. Well, I don't know, this sort of decision requires investigation.


I could also get some military tech but I don't feel up for warring.
Maybe in a few days. Hmm... If I go for Cavalries, Nationalism would be justified.
 
None in particular :blush:
Really, I just wanted to play the opener of this map after failing hard twice.
I'm not sure I'll try to ride it to victory.
Maybe, rather, I'd play as Ramesses II :blush:
