was a little of both. The start of my assult on the arabs was very nerve shattering, but after I got a start going, it was all down hill...
Byzantium at Emperor... Naval themed?
Anyway, here's the finale.
Turn 11 (1690AD)
Take Baghdad. It has Sistines. Disband it.
Take Fustat. It has Bachs. Disband it.
Take yamama. Disband it.
IBT
Arabs want peace. Tell them no. They bombard some former aztec city.
Turn 12 (1695AD)
Take Aden. Disband it. Notice a trend?
Take Narjan. Keep it because it has SUn Tzu's and figure it's keeping with the theme of the game.
Pulling workers from every part of the empire towards the old arabs lands, I complete the rail networker right to the borders of their last cities. We should be able ot take it now.
We Take Khurasan.
I get this Message:
Oh, the Zerk that's up in the far corner is the Hero of Abydos. He's been around for a while now hasn't he?
Score is 3416. I don't usually pay much attention to score, so I have no real idea if that's good or not. I turn lux up on the last turn, but it only helps like 10 points... everyone is pretty pissed about all the whipping we did back in our early days.
Here's the save
PS - We're rank #1 in all the catagories... all of them... never done that before... is it releated to it being a conquest victory?

If you are the only one alive, you'll be number one in everything. It is good to be king.

That was a good one. From start to finish, I don't think I ever got bored, even though I knew the outcome.
I'm going to try and post a brief recap of what happened in the game.
Next game:
So, we have 1 vote for Byz, on a Pangea. Ouch.
I'd really like to take a civ that's not thought very well of, and see how it really goes. I'd prefer another Pelgo map, but Pangea works.
The civ I'd like to try:
Arabs: I don't remember seeing 1 SG with the Arabs in it. Expansionst, Religious. UU is Ansar. This one doesn't have very strong traits IMHO... at least for C3C... They'd rock in Vanilla.
Ottomans: Industrious, Scientific. UU is the Sipahi. Their UU won't be worth much until late in the game, but when we get to Cavs, we'll rock the world. Should give a well timed GA as well.
Hitties: Again, not a fairly common tribe. Commercial, Expansionist. Builds the 3-Man Chariot. Eh.
Soon as we get something final, I'll post a thread and save.
So, who's returning? I believe from his Byz vote, that Bede's in. Anyone else?

I wouldn't mind having a go at the next one. My dance card's pretty full, but I've been wanting to get in on a SG with you there, Alerum. If there's a spot open in RW2... count me in.
On the tribe: Why doesn't it surprise me that Brother Bede would suggest Byzanties on a 'gea. :shakehead: As long as you don't make it a "Mongolian Peace Corps" game, I'd be happy.
Arabs do rock... I'd like play a tribe I haven't played in a while. Here's a short list: Byzantium, England, India, Netherlands, and Korea.
I've actually never played as Byzantines... I much prefer to see Theodora get all pouty after smacking her troops around. :devil2: And I've not yet tried the "extra hit point" War Elephant... having only played as Ghandi in
![[civ3]](/images/smilies/civ3.gif "Civ3 Icon [civ3]")
. And I've never played Netherlands or Korea. So many civs... so little time...
Korea and Netherlands are tribes that the AI plays well; potential "Runaway Civs". It might be fun to try one of them.... Aside from those, I'd be willing to have a go at Bede's idea.
It might be nice to still be able to see her lovely face at endgame for a change.

How about Byzantines on an itty-bitty Pangea versus Rome, Egypt, Celts, Persia, Babylon, Aztecs, Hittites, Iroquois and Greece?Bede said:
hmmm... might not be room for all that on an itty bitty 'gea map.

Welcome about Scout!
So it looks like Byz it is... but Pangea? Wow. I'll do a standard Pangea, but not large. I'll generate the save and thread tonight.
