The Americans landed in Western Africa and took a Zulus port and two Russian cities. By landing two armor and blocking the Sinai Pennisula I kept reinforcements from Russia from pouring in.
I had broken the Russians earlier and they gobbled up their French rebels. The Zulus defeated the French occupying former Zulu cities. The Zulus reclaimed central Africa and tried to reclaim the north west around Morroco. That was until hell broke loose.
The Zulus attacked the last Russian city with a nuclear unit. The Americans took the city and began their long war with the Zulus. They more commonly destroyed cities instead of holding them for a long time.
The Americans founded Baltimore in the few non-desert squares in the middle of the desert. The Zulus hit them with another nuclear and they did something I never have seen a civilization do.
They shot four nuclears in one turn. And out of nowhere came a Russian nuclear from Saudi Arabia. It hit the Zulus.
Weather began threatening global warming so I landed three diplomats and three settlers to clean up. Damage was already being done to the land from global warming.
I was cleaning around Zimbabwe when Americans nuked the city again.
Weighing my options I sent three transports of Armor and Artillery to force the war to a stop. I destroyed the West African ports so I would never be troubled again and unblocked access from Eurasia, letting the Russians come in thinking it would stop the madness.
The Americans were attacked by the Russians and responded with a nuclear unit hitting Europe from England which they took a while ago.
After taking Baltimore so I could destroy all the cities in Africa and prevent Russian war in the future, I was attacked from the north. They began hitting my barrier with all they had but with over 35 conscripts and armor in that fortress it was a lost cause.
As I left Baltimore the city was nuked by the the Zulus. I suffered so many casualties against walled Zulus cities that I was sending more boats of soldiers. By then there were at least 20 pollution squares.
It didn't help when the Russians attacked me too as I fought the Zulus. They began the biggest bombing attack I have even seen in Civilization from a Zulus city they took. Sending all their air units from Europe and Eurasia they went there via Saudi Arabia and had to have attacked with at least 30 bombers. There was literally nothing left but Port Africa with fresh troops since he bombed all the active units in the cities. I brought across some armor from Port Africa and a half full ship from my continent to take advantage, but the Russians beat me to it.
Making peace I was trying to clean things up but Russia kept attacking my settlers and not making and of their own. I got rid of some of the squares but things were getting worse as Zulus did something that surprised me.
Zulus has landed on Madagascar a few times to annoy Port Africa, but they also went east and landed in Australia. From there they began landing in southeast Asia and taking a few Russian cities. The Russians nucleared them twice.
With a sigh I decided to let the Earth go into nuclear winter. I have the amazon to keep my Civilization alive. I have a great roads system that will help me rebuild after everyone has died out.
The world is going into fall out as Russia and Zulus fight. The Americans and I are at peace again and I have hopes in time their empires will rot away and be humbled into small scattered city states. The Zulus loosely hold the Yellow River in China and without it I am sure the nuclear winter will kill their cities.
My conclusion to this is that even though I won the space race, eventually technology slayed the planet because I let other civilizations thrive dispite bringing them to war with one another. Somehow they were with armor units by the 1600s and nuclear units by the early 1700s. I think constantly fighting and stealing technology from one another made them grow faster.
When they would break into civil wars against Russia the states would pursue other routes that Russia did not and when Russia reclaimed them they stole it back. Americans came and traded and stole many technologies from Europe and Africa.
I see America and Russia coming out of this well. Plenty of rivers. America even has a few rivers on ports, so they will continue dropping units in Africa to cause trouble and help the demise there.
Sadly, I am not powerful enough to kill them all at once like I need to to stop this. I guess millions have to die just so I can win.
You'll see what I mean when you more armors with Frigates.
