What is with your city names?
My EDGE#150 t100 report follows. Some highlights: Pyramids T62, Oracle T89, trouble with gpt, Level 4 Scout T102, NC done T103. Blow-by-blow and full-size screen shot in the spoiler.

I initially wanted to name them for example "Krakow (2)" so that the order in which the cities were settled is clearer. But it was a bad idea because then I settled the 3rd city the game named it Krakow again.... so because I don't really know the Polish city names by heart, I just decided to rename all cities "city 1, city 2", etc.
I only vaguely track the order or city names, and would not try except that we are playing the same civ together, and I can pretty much remember my own relative order. Anyway, here is a list:
- Warsaw
- Kraków
- Łódź
- Wrocław
- Poznań
- Gdańsk
- Szczecin
- Bydgoszcz
- Lublin
- Kaunas
- Katowice
- Białystok

Edit to whine about not being able to work the UU. WH seem like they should be so much fun. But even when I am watching for for it, the WH is a mounted unit that does not actually have the Can-Move-After-Attacking buff for what feels like more than half the time. It is actually very frustrating!

I understand your frustration with this even if I like the Winged Hussar very much. I would have liked for Heavy Charge to be an active ability and for the unit to also have a normal attack. There are situations where Heavy Charge can be more hurtful then helpful. Fortunately their overall power compensates for this flaw, I think.
My EDGE#150 t200 report follows. Finally start to looking like a DOM game, now that I have one capital. I have three Coal from a CS ally, have just researched Industrialization, and none of the AI have an Ideology. Turn summaries and full-size screen shot in the spoiler.

Are there any units that I work this way? I am having trouble imagining the UI for that.
It seems to me that this is the case in the majority of situations. The most annoying one is where my target does not have a hex to retreat backwards into. The target will slide one hex towards my WH, WH moves forward, but because of the target’s ZoC — the target I just pounded — the WH looses the rest of his movement.
But they are not really much stronger than regular lancer (28 v 25). OTOH, they do start well promoted (assuming you build them in a city with the UB).

@beetle There aren't any units with active abilities but I think a button similar to how Siege "set up" could have been used without too much trouble I think.
edit: I forgot to rename my cities according to the list provided, I will do so next update! sorry about that
My 100-150 for # 150

when the target does not have a hex to retreat backwards into, your winged hussar will have +50% base strength, 42 base strength is way more powerful than any industrialization era units
that's the main reason why winged hussar is so strong
I like that idea!

Right, my point is that denying the target a hex to retreat “backwards” into is more elusive that it should be. I wish I had thought to take some screen shots, but I find — more often than I expect, even now that I am looking for it — that the a target will “retreat” to my WH flank.
One of my work-arounds is to have my forces all in a line before making their attacks. If take this extra step, then my targets can’t “retreat” forward (because I have a unit there). But this is not my usual pattern with mounted units. (Typically, I hit-and-run in series, one after the other. This does not work with WH!) Also I mostly I favor the Infantry melee units over mounted units. It feels like unnecessary micro for a UU that should just be a blast. Supposedly, WH can knock opponents into water, but I have not seen that happen.

My EDGE#150 t200-250 report follows. I got started on my DOM roll latter than I wanted, because I had expected the strong AI on our starting continent to wipe out the weak AI. I was planning to kick things off by recalling the weak AI. Instead, I ended up waiting on Dynamite.
I have my second cap and army/navy is moving to the other continent. This will be one of my faster Dom VC, but probably not before T350.
I was first to Ideologies and adopted Autocracy. After Clauswitz and Prora, I flipped to Order so as to have good control over whom I am at war with and when. Flipping was early enough that I got Kremlin as well. War has also resolved my Coal shortage.

Wow! You're a crazy good player! I have finished my playthrough and I'm exactly 100 turns slower than you were and will post my updates later, but in the mean time, would you mind posting the save file? any that you have, maybe 100, t150 or 200? I would love to learn from analysing your game.
