Not being the military genius that saved us from Europe, I lost a lot of cannons and 2-3 infantry. But the job is done.
0. 1742 I open borders with Khmer. America is befriended with a map. Extorted 140 gold from Ethiopia. Sold map to Russia for 90g.
1. 1745 Sent our Klagenfurt stack towards Berlin (if anything we have to capture their capital to make them capitulate). Killed 2 cavalry but lost 2 riflemen in doing so (somehow all our rifles are promoted to city defend!). Bombarded Rome.
2. 1748 Bombarded Berlin. (If we had a ready spy I would have used our massive espionage to just make a city revolt--so I started one in Dirac) Also, i switched all espionage to France (Germany will be too far behind to steal techs from, and France/Netherlands/England will usually research steel which we will steal). We can use the remaining espionage to steal gold from Germany.
Killed German frigate who dared to destroy our Arabian fishing boat.
Persia gets a Great Depression--it's OK, we're still stable.
3. 1751 Killed German galleon who followed the frigate around Mekke. Phanagoria is set to build Opera House (it's our 2nd largest city, and suffering a little under Moscow's culture). Extort (i.e. ask nicely) 100g from Mali and 60g from Mongolia.
4. 1754 Assembly line is done, set to Fascism. Upgraded all our frontline troops to infantry, especially the stack in Pompeii. Cut research back to 80%.
5. 1757 Ethiopia collapses (which gives us a chance to conquer some indy cities for Arabia, who just lost Al Dammam due to instability). Vikings want Communism, no way.
Spain gets a Great Depression, we're still stable.
Persia now stable, captures Patna.
Got 50g from Inca.
6. 1760 Mali wants war with Vikings, no. Killed 1/2 the stack in Rome and lost 5 cannon doing so.
7. 1763 Fascism is done, I build a military academy in Istanbul (which I switched to Kremlin--since we're in US, why not do some cheap buying as long as we don't need nationhood/police state?). Another great general is born and I send him to Hattusas (in anticipation of the need to vassalize Persia who's becoming big and menacing, 3rd in score)
Berlin is captured with the loss of 2 cannon and our borders expand instantly due to Klagenfurt's culture. Germany won't capitulate.
8. 1766 Rome captured with the loss of 1 infantry...
9. 1769 ...and Germany capitulates. (Witness the power of the Statue of Zeus!) Opera House in Phanagoria is done. I'm tempted to give Berlin back to Germany but I'll wait until the city revolt is done, to minimize the risk of Germany collapsing.
10. 1772 Sure enough, our power awes Khmer who wants us to be their master! I demand all their resources since they're stable.
America asks for Democracy, I said why not, let them suffer the lack of stability from knowing democracy and not being in emancipation. Inca becomes a Russian vassal.
Gaziantep founded on the border of Germany and Russia--needs fortification.
I send some troops towards Ethiopia to capture some cities for our suffering Arabian brothers.
Future directions:
1. Fortify Klagenfurt and Gaziantep (France is furious, Russia is cautious) I believe we should be able to give Berlin back without which Germany will probably collapse soon.
2. Capture all of Africa for Arabia
3. 5 turns to industrialism, and we need oil to dominate, so we may want to research steel/railroad/combustion ourselves. But first I would do biology and medicine because the coal's going to make us unhealthy after factories/coal plants are built. Gaziantep would be a good place for building forest preserves after it expands more.
4. Both Portugal and Arabia are unstable, we may have to build the happiness wonders to give them some happy faces. Hattusas is about 3-4 turns from the Pentagon (then Eiffel Tower), Istanbul 1 turn from Kremlin. I would build Wembley next since France's about to learn it.
