Monarch game for shadowing, criticism, commentary, or general mocking

Played until 1200AD

IMO, Isabella is a great leader for a Renaissance war because she can easily get 10XP siege without using Great Generals.

Expanded to 7 cities and rapidly pulled ahead in tech. I discovered Liberalism in 1200, and none of the AI's even have education yet!

My plan is to attack Boudica or Darius using a combination of CR3 and Accuracy Trebuchets combined with Rifles.

 
@ Yankitor - I have only looked at the screenshot so forgive me if I am off the mark.

You seem to have indiscrimantorily cottage the fk out of your empire at the cost of any significant production cities. If you are planning to go to war as you suggest, you will want to be able to pump out units quickly and I cant see any city that can do that.

In barcelona, for example, I would have farmed a few of those river side tiles or at least chain irrigated the grasslands to north and north east of the city which are not river side. I would then put workshops or watermills on the plains tiles. As far as i can tell you have 5 surplus food from the pigs and the city. Plains cottages are generally a bad idea.

This is one example of city specialisation. It would mean that in barcelon you would want to build only barrachs, stable, walls, citadel, forge and maybe a courthouse and then pump out units constantly.

My plan was to build a bunch of trebuchets while teching to rifling, then draft rifles, so I was able to produce a sufficient number of units.


Played to 1860AD


Spoiler :


After obtaining a SOD of rifles and trebuchets I DOWed Boudica because she was the easiest target(IMO a bad idea). While I am in the process of destorying Boudica, Mehmed DOWs me and vassalizes Boudica, forcing me to move my forces north. This allowed her to retake a city and put heavy cultural pressure on my captured cities, making them useless.

After making peace with Mehmed, I decided to attack him to gain land to compete against Huyana.

My war against Mehmed. The war is going well, but my BPT is pathetic due to mass drafting and several centuries of war.

In retrospect, I should've simply colonized the new world, or DOWed Mehmed.
