The Crusades: Of how the Holy Confuscist People begin Purification of the Continent of Blasphemy!
Yes, our Holy Crusades have furthered in their goal of eliminating the unclean religions of the World.
We begin slowly, building our forces.
we find the AP to be of immense entertainment
Of which Brennus refused causing the world to see his true Villianness! We got about 3 more of these redesignation of former French cities which were voted yes on. Apparently there was a limited amount of unhappiness the Celtics were willing to accept.
Our techpath went: Corporation/SM/Communism/Physics/Democracy/Steam Power/Assembly Line.
The world has greatly lagged behind, perhaps because we are NOT trading off techs to the unclean, or perhaps the true Confuscian gods have cursed them. Nevertheless we were first to
We revolted to
And enjoyed a very nice bump in the science slider.
We also got the free GSpy which we saved for a future GA as we teched off Physics next.
Techs are pretty laughable
And by the save, Noone had rifling and only Toku even had replaceable Parts.
So where are these Crusades? Well here we are
4 rather weakly defending cities on the former Aztec continent, easy enough to claim using the existing army. We also launched an armada from our east against Tokugawa's western shores of his main continent.
Now, for some reason Jaoa went after Brennus which was fine, but he never was willing to join our holy crusade, much to Justinian's dismay. He did make this trade
Sure it outdates to UU, but cavalry is a much better unit!
Oh, our Holy Crusades!
We quickly overran Wang's cities
we also invaded the japanese homelands from the very north
The plan is a very slow and methodical attack from tha barron wastelands into the Japanese home base.
And we proceeded to brun every city on Toku's homeland
Meanwhile we do keep those cities on what I shall call, the Aztecia Continent!
Soon we had all of Aztecia,
Leaving Tokugawa to his home continent and Wang Kong dead. Heathen #3 eliminated.
I should mention Louis declared war on us once we attacked Tokugawa (not sure if he had a DP) but we soon enough got peace.
Once we got democracy we changed civics
US for the extra production. we want lots and lots of military for our most Holy war. Happiness was not an issue and we upped the culture slider to 20%, getting us an extra 7 happy faces for each city with a hippodrome and collesium. A very nice UB for a Crusading game.
We continued clobbering Tokugawa, sending one of the 2 armadas back to the homelands to pickup a fresh supply of enlisted Crusaders!.
After using 2 armies to destroy 2 important Japanese cities
we decided to save here as it is late and I want some advice on how we proceed with the remaining crusades!.
The northern remaining Japanese lands
With Kyoto, Tokyo etc remaining. Some very strong cities although easy to claim.
Techs
And we are clearly well away from the Domination limits
And finally
The world!
Now normally I would keep those core japanese cities and use them as a launching pad to invade France and Celtia.
HOWEVER, this is an RPC! We have our home continent, we control Aztecia, I say the Continent of misguided religions must be completely leveld! All cities burned on this land mass. Every improvement, town, farm, mine plundered into the ground. These Crusaders can never leave this land until all has been sterilized! There has been too much Blasphemy done here, 2 holy cities! Yes, Justinian has had a calling.
ALL MUST BE BURNED, the true way to Purification!
And techs? We are teching Assembly line, after which I say Artillery/Electricity/Fission/Rocketry. Justinian MUST have the Ultimate Holy Weapon of the Confuscian Gods!!!!!
