Babylonians calling themselves Romans with a Celtic general is actually pretty funny.
Why are you demolishing Zara? Why not kill off Sury?
Because I got forced in to war with Zara by the Apostolic Palace, and may as well demolish him anyway. Plus, I'm warring by opinion in this game to ensure anyone I'm at peace with doesn't suddenly decide to surprise DoW.
I'm saving Surya for last. He has two damn vassals (Joao and Churchill), and I don't think I can go to war without losing a few cities to them before I can cap Surya. However I suspect I may be able to give Joao a city or two to force him to break free (he's over 50% on two things, exactly 50% on population, so it should be simple).
Anyways, I've always been given absolutely random generals, no matter the civ. o.O
I'm rather wondering why you're not at 100% with all the gold you have...
Saving it for unit upgrades. I'm gonna want all my rifles I'm using for attack upgraded to proper infantry, and all my cannons to artillery.
Plus, I never play with negative income. PLUS on marathon, modern age techs cost thousands anyway, so I only have enough to rush one tech at most.
I mean, the Future Era techs are worth tens of thousands, so I'm really not that rich.
...lol at Christianity 1AD.
P.S. See my username; it's she. XD
