Germany's memorial. I was shocked at how quickly they folded.
Actually meant to write swap rather than skip. Turns are long enough and can play next weekend.

Long turns, but I will be ready to hand it off before next weekend. Need to figure out the next war target.
Why 1 target? Do we need to build anything other than barracks and more troops (plus settlers)? We should be able to over run the world. We can easily rush build 30+ Hotchkiss each turn.
Use our current mobile troops to go after the Maghreb treasury. Plus, some other target like France or Italy or both, we still need to get rid of the Russians.

Yeah, agreed. Cancel the Wine deal and declare on Maghreb anytime.
France, Inca, and Italy are all good secondary targets. I think we'll still get Britain in the Maghreb war with their MPP, so we should plan accordingly.
Edit: It would be amusing to convert this into an AW game once our current per-turn deals run out.

I should be able to take the game after this.
Nice to see you convinced the Austro-Hungarians to merge into our benevolent commune. 
Any reason for us to not offer a similar chance to the Maghreb or Inca?

We have 77 cities. We are clearly heading to the end game.
There is a glut of cash. I will be doing a lot of partial, and full rushes.
(IT) Turkey wants us to pay $382/T for an MPP.
I watch a lot of Maghreb units walk around.
Maghreb is building Blue Riband.
1160 AD (1)
The assault on Hanover begins. I kill 3 rifles. (3-0)
I kill ships in port. I gained $8,148 and 1 zeppelin.
The assault on Hamburg begins. I kill 1 rifle. (4-0)
I gained $8,487 and 2 workers.
The assault on Koenigsberg begins. I kill 4 rifles. I lost 1 calvary. (8-1)
The first wave wasn’t enough for Koenigsberg. I culture bomb Hanover. The bomb is a major disappointment, as the tile I thought would become ours stays German.
The lawyer force goes hunting for more artists. I attacked a Maghreb pike and got an artist. (9-1)
I culture bombed Berlin. I still failed to get a path to Koenigsberg. JUNK is built. That finally gets a pathway.
The assault on Koenigsberg continues. I kill 4 rifles,1 infantry type, 1 knight and 2 pikes. I lost 6 cavalries. (17-7)
This attack showed a boat as the top defender for a good part of the fight. I kill ships in port. I gained $8,912, Neuschwanstein (1 free happy citizen per city), National Monument (1 CPT in every city for us) and 2 workers.
The assault on Bremen begins. I kill 1 rifle, 2 pike and 1 infantry type. (21-7)
I kill ships in port. I gained $9,469 and 1 zeppelin.
We have hit the frustrating time for workers. I finally have enough to get our cities optimized for maximum troops. However, too many of them are tied up building rails to newly captured cities.
I kill German: 1 ship of the line and 1 pirate (saw it leave German port). (23-7)
(IT) Germany wants to talk. I know they have 2 techs we lack, and just 3 total cities.
Beijing completes Theory of Relativity.

I try to plant a spy in Germany but fail.
[End of session 1]
I gave the Inca communism for marine engineering and motorization (saved 2 turns). The next research project is mass production for early tanks.
I give Japan $128 for a worker.
JUNK is built.
The assault on Stuggart begins. I kill 2 rifles. (25-7)
I gained $6,861.

The assault on Dortmund begins. I kill 2 rifles. I lost 1 cavalry. (28-11)

I kill German: 1 heavy frigate, and 1 ship of the line. (30-11)
I gained 1 privateer.
We will enjoy a moment of peace. I want to heal all units and upgrade all cavalry before the next war. In addition, this is a good point to kill resistance in former Germany.
(IT) Maghreb has some units leaving our territory. Others are going deeper. They also declare war on Britian.
Australia declares war on Britian.
