Help? Four on one war.

[geolawyerman]

This is on vanilla, fyi. So, I was coasting along as Persia in the tech lead on Prince, and I had just finished a war with Polynesia, annexing one city and puppeting 3. I was expecting them to DoW, which they did, but then India and Siam (closest to me in tech) followed suit. Recently, Pachacuti also DoWed, but I haven't seen any of his units. Advice?

edit: Just checked the screenshots, which are about 5 turns out of date, and although it's not on the screenshot, I have oil and I'm teching flight.

Looks like you need a lot more military units unless there's some off screen.

And Susa appears to be where you need to initially focus them on; the Green AI is the immediate threat.

Also, your happiness is at a low level for the start of the war; your empire will go unhappy if you capture any city (sooner if they pillage your diamond luxury on the border.)

Can you post a save?

What I see here is you have Infantry/Artillery/Rifles vs Longswords/Cannons/Knights. Not really seeing the problem here lol.

Also, FYI, Steam has an in-game screenshot function you can bind so you don't have to deal with Print Screen

How do you post a save? I have a few infantry/artillery offscreen(I had at least one in each city before the war).

 

[geolawyerman]

never mind. Finally figured out where it was.

Build more units, eventually some of them will get scared and beg for peace.

Then you have to decide whether to accept peace or just crush them.

One issue is that Gandhi has the GW and hasn't teched dynamite yet.

I don't see the problem. Gandhi is trying to fight your early atomic era empire with medieval units.

GW is just a speed bump to modern era units.

Exactly. It doesn't really matter if his landships/tanks one shot everything Gandhi has. Although I am a bit worried that that's not all of his army - he might have better units following up.
