1680 AD (6)
The just settled village of Beijing is razed and we get another Great Leader. We liberate Hangchow and I decide to keep this one. It is size 14 but I don't think the Chinese will survive two more turns. It comes with an Aqueduct, factory and hospital. We capture Shanghai as well.

1685 AD (7)
Chengdu captured with workers. Cancel all deals, declare war on Egypt. I had to pass up a perfect chance to nail about six Egyptian workers, but I have to let them attack first. We both have an MPP with Persia and I want them on our side. Egypt has a big 100 unit SoD up in China that they can no longer get home. This may be a problem for our small outposts up there, but hopefully with everyone against them they will be too busy. It is a shame those units can't make it home now to help protect their core. I left one little Chinese worker all alone in front of a big bad MI from Egypt. Hopefully they won't resist and we will get Persia on our side. Babylon declares war on the Egyptians. Persia Declares war on the Egyptians. The French begin building Longevity and complete another part.

1690 AD (8)
Get Germany on board for silks, spices and 800g, they have an MPP with the Zulu (and Japan) and we get them for this price as well. Get Russia for spices and 1300g, the 100 unit Egyptian SoD is in their territory, hope they enjoy. Raze Alexandria and Shakespear's Theater, we get 11 workers and 4 arty. Sink Chinese Battleship and expose a carrier under it. Unfortunately I don't have another attack unit. Edo is once again ours. Sink Egyptian Battleship and transport off off Nagoya. Capture New Shanghi with one arty and one catapult. Russia brings Rome in own our side. We might have a problem, the Aztecs and Egypt sign an MPP and then an alliance against us. So much for our RoP with them. They sign against Russia. Russian city near SoD disappears. Zululand declares war on Egypt, yes! Japan comes in as well. Aztecs declare war on Germany. Germany takes out the next to the last Chinese city, an Egyptian city near it, and start pounding on the SoD. The Aztec are forced to declare war on the Zulu. The Egyptians finish Longevity in Asyut. The Aztecs declare war on Persia and Babylonia.

It looks like Babylon is assualting Thebes (size 31) with all their Cav. America and Egypt sign an alliance against Persia. The people love the defeat of the Chinese and WLT(Meldor)D breaks out all over. The Persian city of Bunyan in SA decides to join our cause.
