I think I have not posted anything yet. Now that I have submitted, here is the full story, at once.
Early:
Walk and settle inlands for a more likely full first ring.
950bc meet Yanks, they still don´t have Alpha L
I exchange maps and see dark blue borders on the other end of their island.
Build r and then town/colony at furs
690 Met 3 civs, all backwards, build TGLight
630 meet Zulus and Iros
610 build a irrigation town for the eastern part of the island for 1 turn
510 meet remaining 1 civ. New techs but nothing relevant.
Ad:
10 bring the capital to 12, 1-turn chariots from now on.
290 GP, no other civ knows a MA tech. Quite astonishing on Deity.
330 land first troops under a RoP in American lands
360 i hoped i could attack before the Yanks have Feud, but i see their first pike
Now i will try to take all their 3 iron sources away from them rather soon
370 attack on America. GA starts. But nothing else. 2 towns captured, but not the important one to reestablish the trade routes. L quite a SOUR.
But in a 2nd try i manage to take iron away from them and hold a town on their island until i get cavs. Fish for leaders.
540 MT in, stop research, AIs only manage their 2nd MA tech the turn before. Obviously they drown in unit support. They will be relieved
580 build FP in America
i use a chance to get WH from Germany
640 America out of the game
700 i see the Zulus unload 6 units onto a single tile – good one, AS!
740 manage to invade German main island
760 and Germany out
790 3rd try, land 30+ units in Mongolia!
810 take Karakorum with the last unit with attack left.
860 Mongols out of the game
Invasion of the Chinese/Aztec island starts, right before the Aztecs take the Chinese out.
Accidentally I must have accepted stupid Chivalry from someone in a trade. With about 100 cavs, I won´t be building any units for battly anymore now… they won´t reach the front anyways.
910 i have all 8 luxes again.
920 planned border expansions. Some 50 tiles to go.
Ok, first. I take all remaining Aztec towns on their home island.
Second. I take China out of the game. I am over the dom limit now.
Third. Settle everything with the dom settlers i can fly in.
Ergo, 45 tiles over the limit. That should suffice in any case of flips…
This Domination Victory in 930ad earns me just over 10000 Jason points.
