Tibet and Aztecs signed a peace treaty, then Tibet sent troops in our direction. His SOD includes 9 leatherneck and 11 riflemen. A few other units also approach, but will be 1 turn behind the SOD. I upgraded all of our military, and prepared for the attack.
On the turn Tibet would attack, India first asked for MPP. Of course, we accept his offer. Tibet attacks, triggering the MPP. Our lone TOW Infantry defeats 16 attackers before our two Eastern Infantry step in for one kill each. The 19th attacker defeats our TOW, and the last in the stack pillages. A replacement TOW is on its way, but our two Infantry will have to hold for one turn. We ally the Aztecs to draw some of Tibet's forces away from our city.
Our infantry defeat 5 more attackers. Our TOW arrives, and we order production of two battle tanks, which will be later upgraded to T-90. Tibet is spent, and we easily pick of the few units they send each turn.
Noticing again how close India is to 50K, I dedide to play a few more turns. In 1820 AD, they reach that mark. Unfortunately for us, Tibet does not have at least half as much culture.
We have suffered a 'humiliating' defeat.
This has been a great game. I have definitely enjoyed it. Our victory was a mere 12 to 15 turns away.
Oh... we did get yet another SGL.
