On this map your resource-free War Elephants might prove handy. Was this the case, or did you manage access to strategic resources that were scarce near your initial starting location? And how were the Middle Ages in your game - pretty much put to bed, or is there more work to be done?

I think I built one war elephant. I did okay on middle ages culture, picking up 4 wonders, and I start a war with the Arabs, letting me get some land out west while the Greeks and Chinese do most of the fighting. I settled somewhat aggressively in China and out west, so I have a good supply of resources. There are only 6 cities in my contiguous empire, though, so I'm not really in a good situation if I get attacked. I'm trading lots of stuff to my neighbors and trying to avoid war.
