I know most of you can do that in your sleep (LOL), but I've been trying to move up in difficulty level lately after playing (badly) on Warlord level for so long.
I came on this board to get advice and it's been great. I've learned a lot but still much to learn.
So this was my 3rd game on Prince. I lost the first 2. I found that the AI loves to get vassal states. In my first Prince game one AI got about 3 or 4 vassals and it was suicide to attack and one of his vassals ended up winning a Culture victory. In the 2nd game I expanded too fast and my economy went into the tank to where I fell so far behind in tech there was no way I could catch up. I got beat down badly.
This game it all seemed to fall into place. I killed Germany early with an axe rush as I was expanding. I declared on Japan and took a few of his cities then took some goodies in a peace treaty. I rebuilt and did it again. Then I rebuilt some more and attacked him again. This time he capped. In the meantime Portugal peacefully vassaled to me.
After a bit, I attack Maya, who capped after I took just 2 cities. I then went right to Mongolia, who had Justinian as a vassal. He capped after taking 3 cities. DOMINATION VICTORY! The year: 1858.
Anyway, it was cool and I wanted to share, especially for all of the experts on this board who have helped me.
Thanks again and I might be doing another shadow game for my first attempt at Monarch but I think I'll do some more Prince games first.
