Finished my game this night.
Score: Somewhere in the 10k area
I used a quite useful teqnique to stop Barbarians from appearing I used ALL my produced warriors (which was 1-2 between every settler in the beginning), as scouts, putting one on every Mountain top(here and there), so I could see every single tile around my nation. I only had 1 Barbarian uprising.
Anyways, I started by attacking Russia, but not so early as many of the other players here did. I had 30+ horsemen when the war broke out and because of an RoP deal I could take 4-5 cities within the first 2 turns. I left the Capital alone with the intention of having it build the wonder it was building for me. The Great Library. But it lost the race and started building the Sun Tzu... I got peace with em, did some espionage and noticed the turn amount left on the project. I also noticed that there could be some more improvements done on their worked tiles. So I sent some workers to their city and mined 3 plains and 1 hill for them, shortening the work on Sun Tzu for them by half or so. By now I also signed an RoP with England, and I ran to their only Iron deposit with a warrior and a spearman, and sat there waiting.
When the Sun Tzu was built it became mine. And I took the rest of russia.
Now my eyes went for England, I sent all my horsemen at em, and conquered em I did. (Many knights was used in the process aswell), after that I took a look at France and was afraid that they were gonna get Musketmen. But they had no Saltpeter so I attacked em with my Knights.
Anyway, I don't know when I controlled the entire continent but it was somewhere in in the 1000 AD area.
Then I had some wars with Japan and India to take Luxaries, and a World War broke out because of MPP's.
Anyway, when I got Panzers I took out Japan, then I went for India, crushing them, and then I atacked China. (Only razing cities here because I didn't want Domination).
My tanks ran out when I attacked China, so I got peace. Rebuild my army, and later attacked again, leaving them with a tundra city on my main continent.
I settled some good grassland sites on the smaller continent and abandoned my tundra cities 1 by 1.
Later in the game I used Nukes to create Floodplains, and increased the amount of citizens on every grassland tile that I nuked with 0.5 , and every plains tile with 1.
Got anarchy twice when warring in Democracy even though every citizen was kept happy with entertainment.
Researched 17 Future Techs, and got a total of 5.7 points from it
there is deffinatly something wrong with the score formula for Future techs...
Anyway, won by Culture at 2050. I guess it won't be the earliest
. Would be pretty funny if it is, so please don't win by culture!
Anyway, it was quite a fun game. And the first where I used my Nuke The River Teqnique! (to create floodplains).
Anyway, have a good game!
