Round 7
I sent the overflow towards Scientific Method since I had the UN in mind, since capitulating everyone on this continent would give me enough population for a Diplomatic Win. I also take this trade next turn:
After my next Great Scientist, which made an Academy in the Capital
I switched civics to war-mode.
This is the largest force Brennus fielded, having scouted all his cities.
My own modest stack was finally ready. I went to his Capital while taking the cities in the way.
Attack odds were great...
I razed the desert city since I didn't need it and was not in State Property.
This is the counter force Brennus sent at me. Actually, they never even entered my territory, scared of my secondary stack I suppose.
Tolosa falls...
Finally meet someone new!
Gandhi is actually not doing too bad for himself... because of his other neighbor:
After taking his capital and 2 satellite cities, Brennus is ready to concede capitulation.
I then merged my stacks and set my eyes upon Saladin.
I take a city on the second turn of war.
After another marginal city, Mecca falls, yielding:
Saladin is immediately ready to kiss the ring.
I send everything towards Hannibal and after taking just one city, he's gone too.
All cities at this point are assigned to build wealth and I select Mass Media to research. I get lucky and pop a GE the turn I start the United Nations!
He instantly completes it too.
End screenies follow.
This game was really fun for the first 100 turns or so but after Justinian was gone, the Pyramids and the Great Lighthouse were built, it was just a rout. But then again, most games are decided by 1AD except, I guess, on Deity and of course ninja wins by the AI.
I will start Dr Kossin #2 soon, if not tonight, tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

, it was not a hard map i think but i remember from the years of the immortal IU that most players including myself there wouldn't reach the science rate and expansion you've got here normally. Now try obs Liz deity challenge.
