personally i'd love to see an early conquest with vassals. haven't done that since the Isabella game.
Japan will be a pretty easy target as we've seen, deity doesn't make AI break their bad habits so he probably has a bunch of garbage units on his home island[...]
as far as we can see China allready moved him from the Island ... or else he have done the unlikely and moved his capital to Tokyo south of Shanghai on his own accord
Roosevelt's AI is amazingly bad, I had no idea how he managed to screw up every game no matter what start I gave him.
Last game I played I moved EVERYONE except for Catherine (who was moved to India) to the new world and sent Roosevelt, Monty, and Huyana to the old world. Roosevelt just can't control his wonderlust, Huyana starting in Egypt had already claimed half of Europe by the time he sent out his first settler because he kept trying to build wonders. TGW, 'rids, TGLH, he tried to build every wonder and kept failing. I watched him in a normal game and he does the same stupid thing in his normal site, he wastes all of his time and hammers on useless wonders that he rarely gets.
I think another american leader would make scarce difference, since inevitably monty will come for america, considering none of the american leaders are real warmongering types a different leader would at best lead to a stiffer american resistance simply delaying the aztec tide.
Of course there is the offchance of something miraculous happening and a new leader would make it more likely then roosevelt, but overall monty will most often do what he usually does.
I agree, Washington would be stronger than Roosevelt, and Sitting Bull would definitely put a stop to Aztec attacks. (Remember the Darius KOTW?)
I have a feeling Pacal would end up a puny vassal to Monty, though...
The Darius KOTW only had two civs in America, and as soon as Sitting Bull blocked off the Maya's expansion to the north he could spam cities all day long. I don't get what this proves about Sitting Bull, he didn't even start a war... His protective CG3 archers would put a serious dent in Monty's conquest plans though. Sitting Bull vs. Monty is a helluva lot more fair than Monty vs. Rosy. Next game on the Earth 18 map, Neal should tweak it somehow so Washington is there instead of Rosy.
