It's just past 3:30 in the morning. Woke up with a pounding headache, couldn't go back to sleep. First thing to cross my mind? Post more screenshots! So here we go...
Note: I cut down on taking as many of the unnecessary screenshots, like people going to war that doesn't really affect me greatly, or someone building a wonder in a far off land that I don't care about, etc.
Don't remember if I showed it before, but I plopped a second spy in the city of Babylon, it payed off as I got a free tech, took banking. Notice how my gpt is a lot lower considering I have Pichu, Petra, Plenty of Arabia trade routes, and bazarrs? My massive military on the border with Babs is draining, and that few thousand gold is needed to upgrade the troops, not to mention throw a thousand at Catokia every now and then if someone out buys my alliance.
Upgraded all my cannon to artillery, also notice the Bab riflemen? I decided to hold on the attack and wait till I had upgraded to rifles myself, as slogging through all that culture with his great wall would be nasty and I wanted to be prepared. Also, I was in no real rush to wipe out Babs, I knew in good time I could pull it off.
Grabbed last policy in piety!
Took a screenshot of Mecca. Notice the piety finisher's bonus of culture and gold that gets applied to the great prohpet landmarks I founded? Payed off, not to mention now all great people purchased with faith will be even cheaper.
Completed brandenburg gate wonder. Mecca is a powerhouse of production so I can easily build unit XP buildings, although I probably won't crank out a bunch of units just yet as I have more than enough. Kindof looking forward to loosing a few to Babs actually, simply to reduce gpt drainage as I had Mecca crank out swordsmen and longswordsmen like crazy before.
Upgraded to riflemen! Here we go!
Slogged my way through an got Nippur! Too many units lol. Had a slight clog with half my artillery not being in range...
Notice the backlog in this pic. Going to form one long line of riflemen with the spare cavalry (upgraded camel archers I never used) with a line of artillery behind them. Also, got a good amount of coal from industry tech, time to crank out factories!.
Here's the firing line formed. Also of note is two GP I have waiting in the rear (not in pic), so I can convert any foreign religious cities I conquer.
Time to crack open honor. Maybe not the best move but I have the tradition opener, so I figured with the Garrison policy (+1 happiness, +2 culture in cities with garrisons) and oligargy (free unit maintenance cost and increased city bombardment for garrisons) those scouts and extra cavalry/gat guns I'll put in conquered cities will pay off.
