save before IT victory
Pre-Turn
let the rollercoaster ride begin
we are on 56% land already, not that much left
up culture to 50%, we don't need the money, but border expansions we don't mind
I think we need a stronger navy to get rid of all those overseas bombers
1. 2021AD
take out one of those bloddy battleships from Cyrus near our capital, more will follow my friend
set up attack on Persepolis. bomb defenses down to 16%
system crashes
I hate it in civ4 how modern warfare is extremely messy, it is awful to do things there really
IT ouch, Persians land quite a few units on our mainland near the capital
2. 2022AD
I think we have no choice but to make peace with Persia for the time being and handle Rome
but first we take Ollaytatambo back
also want to take out Persepolis before peace
relentlessly bomb it, destroy massive units, but some still there, now we can't stop here, somehow must defend the own continent
and take them out next turn
decide to make peace with Rome and he give us all his 1600gold to boot. now we can concentrate on the right target
reinforce the area around our capital, lose 2 tanks but wound the intruders properly
IT we defeat 4 units and lose none near our capital, while our land is being ripped apart by their units
3. 2023AD
bomb Persepolis again and destroy 10 units inside, taking along 5 transports and 5 destroyers + 3 fighter jets
sweet revenge
the cloak of blue is lifting and we can gain massive land here
our land is happy again and health is not an issue at the moment
4. 2024AD
advance to Susa, take out a destroyer next to Golden Iron and near China, now their carriers are exposed to our units
lose a destroyer depsite overwhelming odds against carrier that was also hurt, funny
IT our archer defeats the axe
5. 2025AD
defeat a carrier with a figther on it
lose another battleship against a heavily wounded destroyer, this really freaks me out, odds like 40:5
take out Susa losing 1 tank but defeating 5 units
march on to Tarsus
IT of course there is no need to mention that the AI can easily defeat our battleships, fortified and at full health
6. 2026AD
finally defeat that carrier at Golden Iron
3 units are no match to our battlehardned unit and Tarsus falls, the last Persian city on that continent
However, I want more, I want them gone
7. 2027AD
land 4 units in Ergili, and get bombers there to support
send some transports on the way to take that southern Island
take out a stray destroyer, our northern sea is now pretty safe
IT Persia is surely gassed as there are no more counterattacks
8. 2028AD
we have 2 more border expansions and are already at 59.8% but a German revolt is taking place in Chengdu
bomb and take out Ergidli in the south
9. 2029AD
we get some more border expansions and are at 61%, only 1 to go
land 4 units next to Gordium but it looks heavily defended, heavier than I expected
IT then I get this message
