NC CLXXIII - Pericles of Greece

[Powerfaker]

Played this one while awaiting the next NC.

Spoiler :

Beginning:
What really helped was to get writing => lib's => specialists quick, ie after Ag-AH-Wh-Min. Kept research at good speed after maintenance rose from 3+ citites. Got a GS 1500BC, right in time to bulb math and put better chops in GLH which was completed 1350BC. Had 5 cities at 1000BC. No more good land available by then.

First expansion, Russia.
Attacked with cats+phalanxes ±400BC. Conquered 4 cities, including Moscow home of Artemis. Brief piece 100BC to 100AD. Invaded with maces now and took over his 6 remainig cities up to 400AD. 600 years peace followed to develop the empire. Reached Liberalism 850AD and took Astro.

Road to victory.
Asoka capped after 1 city lost 1070AD. Invaded western continent, De Gaulle then Churchill, the next 250 years with rifles/knights/trebs. Came out with cav+cannons.
Invaded eastern continent 1400AD in the north where Toku was installed by Frederic. Had inf now while AI's still had LB's/muskets. Wrapped them up in 100 years. De Gaulle somehow wasn't capped so had to attack him again. Then domination victory was reached 1545AD, 356900 pts. Otherwise I think I would have had him capped next turn for a conquest victory.

Whipped a lot this game.

Nice landshaping on this map.

Added last save 4 turns before the end. Installed BUG for this yesterday. This is the 1st save I've succeede to post here now, so I hope I did everything right and people can check it out if they like.
