Mao looked at the intelligence information and a read boldface type into a couple of statements. First, the Vikings are nearly extinct and second the Aztecs have built some excellent wonders. With his nations revolt to Republic, gold was once again flowing into his coffers and thanks to a couple of trades, his nation was now in the industrial age with Egypt, Iroquois and Aztecs (Japan soon to follow). The great leader Sun Tzu was finally able to be put to good use after nearly 200 years and Smiths Trading Post was completed in the Chinese capital of Babylon.
As the five galleys full of cavalry units left port bound for neutral land between Japan and the Aztec nation, the first segment of Chinese railroads was being completed on the home island.
The Aztec Ambassador was surprised to be summoned to Maos Palace and even more surprised by the declaration of war from the Chinese leader. The same looks were on the face of the Aztec musket men in Tlaxcala as the Chinese Cavalry charged across the opened grasslands and easily destroyed the garrison. In defending the city from an Aztec cavalry counterattack, Qianking (3rd GL) lead his company on a daring attack on the Aztecs completely destroying the attackers. He was immediately given command of the First Cavalry Army of China.
After quick trade of three luxuries, saltpeter and Steam Power to Iroquois returned Nationalism and wines, With Tlaxcala now defended by riflemen, the cavalries of China once more went forward to attack their Aztec foes. During the siege of Teotihuacan another brave cavalry leader was found and he formed the Second Cavalry Army of China. With these two armies leading the troops, Atzcapotzalco with Copernicus fell to China. After an uprising in Teotihuacan killed its garrison, a new hero of China (5th GL), General Tso was given leadership of Chinas Third Cavalry Army.
What screamed Mao, the gutless Japanese have joined the Aztecs against us? Get me the Iroquois ambassador and tell him he has a new friend. With the Iroquois nation pounding on the Japanese northern border, few Samurai were seen for a long time. One by one the Aztec cities fell to the Aztec troops. Some had to be re-taken as the Aztec rabble continued its insurgency against the mighty Chinese forces. With the War Academy acquired in the Aztec capital (along with the Hanging Gardens and the Oracle), when Universal Suffrage was completed in Canton, the Golden Age of China had begun. The completion of the Military Academy in Hangchow and the Pentagon in Nanking meant more powerful armies were now assaulting the Aztec cities. With the fall of Tlatlolco, Leonardos Workshop was now in Maos possession. However, there were few offensive units to upgrade. A few muskets & rifles were now infantry was the only benefit he would gain. The powerful Chinese Rider did not make an appearance in the game, due to the rapid burst through the Middle Ages. As Mao was chatting with the Iroquois Ambassador and the party celebrating the new Iron Works in Shuruppak, the alliance between them was strengthened to a mutual protection pact.
The last southern Aztec city finally fell to the Chinese cavalries, though at a grave cost as General Tso and his entire army (14 HP) died to single veteran rifleman (2 HP) in Texcoco. With the completion of the Theory of Evolution in Beijing, China had cemented the technical advantage over the rest of the world. Mao now had to decide how to complete his reign. The decision was made for him as he stood on the balcony of his room admiring the ocean view. Brother Bede appeared and said, By the power of the sword you must dominate this world. When your work is done, I will come for you and then his disappeared in a puff of greasy, black smoke.
Domination it was to be. Mao called his generals in and began planning to take on the Japanese. The lack of technology would be Japans downfall. The few Aztec Infantrymen had caused many casualties among the Chinese troops. The much weaker Japanese riflemen were no match for the Chinese Cavalry and like little dominoes, the Japanese cities fell in line.
Not another new rival Mao groaned as he heard of the alliance Japan had signed with Egypt. I suppose Ragnar is going to return from the grave to declare on us next. At least the Iroquois MPP would again serve a purpose. When the Iroquois quickly signed peace with Cleopatra and Mao would follow suit.
The year 1460 AD would be a momentous one, in Canton the Hoover Dam was completed assuring China the most productive nation crown, Beijing completed Wall Street, which added the wealthiest nation award and the final Japanese city was destroyed. With Japan gone, Mao gave his troops some well-earned rest and relaxation, knowing the final push against Egypt would come once the peace treaty had ended. At the dedication of Shakespeares Theater in Babylon, Mao cornered General Grahamiam to give him some good news. It seems that the military researchers had developed a new toy for the general. No longer would horses be carrying his troops into battle. And as icing on the cake, his medical research team in Chengdu had completed training of battlefield medics that would reduce casualties and get his troops back into action sooner when injured.
As the peace treaty was about to expire with Egypt, Mao quickly signed a new MPP with the Iroquois nation. At dawns first light, as the treaty expired, the thunder of the Chinese artillery rained down on Kalmar and the Chinese Cavalry Armies (now 4 in number) succeeded in capturing the city. An elite infantryman defeated three Egyptian counterattacks and was promoted to commander of the Third Chinese Tank Army (the first two were academy graduates). With the fall of four more cites, Cleopatras forces were on their heels. What would prove to be an unnecessary project, the Intelligence Agency completed in Babylon still the Chinese troops move forward. As five more Egyptian cities fell, including Thebes with JS Bachs Cathedral and the Great Wall, Mao knew the end was in sight.
As a futile gesture, the Aztecs joined forces with the Egyptians and Maos laughter echoed throughout the palace for hours. As Memphis fell another incarnation of Sun Tzu (6th and final GL) was found. His tank army would lead the troops to victories in El-Armana and when Byblos fell, Egypt was no more. When a last attempt to destroy Montezuma fell one attacker short, Brother Bede visited Mao for a final time You have done well my friend. Your work here is done, please bring a single carry-on piece to the center of town and we will transport you to the ship for your return home.

could now travel four tiles per turn. This, together with ROP I signed with Japan, allowed me to use one-stop-galley-jumping-route from my south-west coast to the Japanese coast. Why would I want to that? To capture the Grat Library of course, which was built in the Aztec city of Tlatelolco. After shipping 20 or so riders to Japan-Aztec border (and losing 20 or so galleys while doing it) I rode to my goal and captured the City along with the Grat Library and all the knoledge it contained. And it did contain quite a nice amount of knoledge:

). I then threw piles of horsemen at their stacks of bowmen, and suffered some fairly hideous RNG. I finally got fed up and decided to take them out with Riders. All of this putzing around meant that I didnt eliminate the Babs until 600 AD. Previously, I had eliminated the only remaining Greek town as soon as I got their free MA tech. I generated one GL during the Babylonian campaign, and he jumped my palace to a new town I founded in the center of their core.
A crude guess would be that these little diversions cost me somewhere between 200 and 500 Jason points, so if I miss out on the cow by that much I only have myself to blame.
It makes sense. If there were a vote for this, I probably would support it.
And thanks for a very interesting read. You're on a fast learning curve
