I'm playin as China, got stucked in the north pole, and beneath me there are all of the three, fighting for the same living space (and for my lands on the way).
The Mongol did declare war at me, and made a peace deal after most of his army was wiped out.
Should I interven? or should I let them eat up each-other (and by that getting the risk that on of the will got the upper hand on all)?
BTW: Venice happened to be just south of all of these three warmongers... Poor Enrico...
TBH. I find this situation quite amusing...

So as you can see, I have 3 cities, all of them brodering the tundra,so my only expansion would be south, and there... there are all of the warmongers...
BTW: Shaka is in war with the Khan :D
 
I would settle east of Karokum first of all

I would try to intervene if you have the fighting power, targeting the weakly Mongolia.. why?

Because if either Greece or Zulu get more cities, you will have a tougher time getting on the top.
 
i would join, annex karakorum , puppet beshbalik.
 
Well I have good news and bad news
The good new is I have the dominant religion over all of the 3 warmongers
And that Alexander's and The Mongol's Millitary power is deminished
The bad news is...

Shaka managed to takeover Mongolia and he was too quick to be stopped
And he also managed to withstand the Greek invasion and to make Alexander Insignificant.
It will take some time for me to train Chu-Ko-Nu's and I'm probably his next target (although I'm 2nd place in Milltary might while he is in 1st by 10K points) and by then Mongolia would be nonexist (although he surviving much longer than expected so who knows).
 
Chu's and pikes/longswords will stop him. Remember that impis have 3 move, so protect your Chu's

I wonder what happens if Impi(ranged+melee attack, extra movement) an CKN(double ranged attack) fight each other.
 
Get some cover promotions to reduce the ranged damage, and yes, build as many Cho-Ko-Nu's as possible. Move the catapults back because they won't do much damage and they'll just take up space and be slaughtered easily. Hopefully you will get a general soon and that will make matters a bit easier (30% combat bonus instead of 15%). Get multiple generals and start using citadels. Opening honor and getting discipline would also help, but that's up to you.
 
CKN only have double ranged on attack, so they will likely get slaughtered by impis if given the chance, who have cover promotions.

You mean the unique Zulu promotions? If they have all 3 of those promotions, that's a 30% defence bonus against ranged weapons. Does that operate similar to cover 1, where the damage reduction is after the unit is hit and it is not mentioned at all in the percentage sums?
 
Well, I Have good news and bad news, the good news are: I finished off the Zulus and Brought the Mongol back to the game!
The bad news...

As you can see, the American has taken Karakorum, and is going for full cultural victory, and of-course, the Tundra start+ the wars of the Zulus puts me in scientific lag
They and the Japanese are stronger than me (but not to much), and building wonders like crazy, including snatching the Sistine Chaple (Oda) or the Tower of Pisa (Washington) from my fingers .
Oh, and the Japanese discovered everyone, and founded the WC.
But the Big plus is I have a nice income, and Frendly Neigbours.
To do list: Increase the population so I'll get a decent reaserch ( And I think I'll need to find some CS that gives Happiness and food bonuses), build Universities to get Oxford and rush to order and Public Schools.
Spreading my religion so I'll get more money (Gahndi and Oda are both spreading their Religions quite agressivly), and maybe annex some puppeted cities when I'll have the sufficient funds to buy a Courthous.
