All Good Things....: The Cartheginian War
No great suprise what we planned next. This continent is too small for us and Hannibal, one has to go!
First we finished this AP started war.
Then turned to more important matters.
My idea is to take the triple Holy City and burned everything else (almost).
Delhi falls very fast
Which was full of alot of treasure.
Yep, three holy shrines, plus the market/grocer/bank were saved in the sack of the city! THAT will help our funds quite a bit.
We had no set military plan, after sacking Delhi Kublai told his generals to simple go forth and burn!
And burn they did!
Meanwhile, you all remember what I said last segment about Shaka, that I would kill him last? Well apparently word got back to him and he felt real insulted
OK, you can bump Shaka's name on the elimination table up a wee bit. I will have to settle for killing Monty last, if he manages to survive.
So Shaka managed to send a few cavalry units that we killed easy enough.
Zara did have several cities north of the former Byzantine lands, which I razed a plenty until I came to hi capital
Notice what is in the backround there??? Yes folks, that is the Pentagon which is one World Wonder worth keeping!
We also got the Mauseleum and a Military Academy.
OK, OK we have been distracted enough, back to Hannibal.
Not much to say except things like
BURN BABY BURN!
We managed to start clearing out the northern areas where Ragnar had his stronghold
And proceeded to start pillaging all the towns!
Shaka was soon willing to talk peace
Do not worry, we shall get back to him the next segment.
Soon we had crippled Hannibal to the following lands here
As we continued buring the Carthaginian empire, Zara broke away from him allowing us to get peace
OK, down to Hannibal and Pericles.
And before you know it
Hannibal has been pushed off our continent. He still has significant cities in teh New World, so we need to prepare for that (Our navy still stinks). All that is left is to remove the Greeks.
Here you can see we razed the Creative Constructions HQ
And we bring our moderately overwhelming army against Athens.
And made peace with both Pericles
And Hannibal
I saved here, repositioning our replacements.
Ready to destroy Isabella and Shaka next segment
The west coast
We reassigned eps to spy on everyone.
Victory Conditions
We are doing just fine avoiding a domination win.
And demographics.
So onto Spain and the Nation of Zulu! Then we need to amass the Armada of death which we are just starting to do. We got that Overwhelm Doctrine event and thing we certainly should follow through on it!
