Ideas/Suggestion/Comments
1. Shaka is as good as dead, keep adding units to the 2 stacks and he will be dead in 5 - 10 turns.
2. I had to delete a treb because it had CR2 and no drill promotions, please remember to always select Drill promotion when possible.
3. We are allrdy over Population requirement for Domination, and we are at 38/62 land area, so we are getting closer.
4. We are running 50% at +12 GPT
 
at least it's not the one you use for the mouse. :)

hopefully that was your only injury.
 
yeah, and it really isn't too bad, it just restrics my elbow movement and it itches like hell :D

And the save...
 
Un-eventfull turns, so i'll just say the relevant things...

I selected Libelarism as a goal-tech, we needed Philosophy :eek: .
I take Ulundi after a really hard struggle, we get the Pyramids, Adopt, Mercantelism + Representation.
Spiral Minaret is completed.
Capture Nongama, Shaka is down to 1 City.
Capture Nodwengu, Shaka is no more...
We are at 65% Pop / 53% Land, once we get border pops/etc we will be close to the goal.
Roosevelt has Education, we get it in 1 turn, then we have 5 to Liberalism...
Once Education is in up sci to 100% (-350 GPT) to get Liberalism in 3.

Good luck ;)
