That is not an intentional sacrifice and she sprung those just when I moved on Pamplona. She really hit hard on the eastern front too and am surprised she mustered up those forces in the west. Not much we can do now but she has been weakened so taking the city back shouldn't be too hard. Especially with Asperger at the helm. We should be able to take Minoan and Santiago ?? (also a holy city) in the next turn.

- Our "homeground" looks fine, but i fear for our english city's. We can't draft in the english city's! Our units in York leave the city, it's safetu first here.
- draft infanty's to protect threatened city of Washington
- change all non-military builds to military (except a theatre)
IBT
Washington defends well,
- York captured by the spanish (and defended by 4 artillery, stupid AI)

battle of Pamplona:
- artillery (33%) beats infantry,
- grenadier suicides against infantry,
- infantry(90%) beats infantry and captures Pamplona.
Pamplona is on a hill and closest to Madrid from all english city's so first i'm gonna make it my stronghold next turns, i'm not able to take York within a few turns, i'll be glad if i can hold my city's here. I'll use my money to upgrade units in this area. We make hardly enough money to upgrade 1/turn..
battle to raze Valencia (N/E of aztec area):
artillery (12%) withdraws to infantry,
artillery (47%) dies to sam,
artillery (96%) kills infantry,
knight (87%) destroys Valencia
IBT
We lose Oxford! south of Pamplona, i was so busy moving units to Pamplona that i didn't care about this city

We raze Oxford. Didn't like the city, don't want to defend it.
Moving units through spanish territory towards Pamplona.

- arty (99%) kills infantry and captures Zaragoza.
- bombard Minoan
battle of Minoan (2 destroyers and 3 transport!)
- arty (72%) loses to infantry,
- infantry (88%) kills infantry,
- infantry (97%) kills sam,
- infantry kills infantry and takes Minoan (maybe should have razed it)
- bombard Santiago
battle of Santiago:
- arty (66%) kills infantry
(don't understand why hardly one artillery is promoted with city-attack, imo much much more effective)
- arty (25%) loses to infantry,
- infantry (96%) kills infantry,
- infantry (99%) kills sam,
- infantry (99%) kills arty and takes over Santiago.
(look at Knossos in spanish revolt)

Sooooo may finish it, i don't see it happen within 1,2,3 turns, otherwise i would have done it.
. Are you guys interested in the next of the series? I've got the game planned - I think we're going to lose. But I thought that about the last two games too

Wow Asperger really impressive turn. You right about the artillery hope I didn't smoke that by barrage and I agree (and have learned) that Artillery are very effective with CR. I missed that on York guys but wanted to get that war started sooner than later.
Sooooo as always I would gladly play with this wonderful team anytime.
(I might have Warlords next week)

Well I think it took 6 turns, but we razed one spanish city and captured Madrid and Barcelona for a domination victory in 1606.
We get a nice score too, though most of the credit goes to Al Gore:
By the time we settled our second city (and we did not delay it), most AIs had 5 cties already.
Here is the point I thought we were doomed: the capture of Olmec by Roosevelt's huge stack of cats and elephants.
The remains of Azteca:
And what's left of England and America:
And my favourite: the power graph. We were always fighting stronger opponents.
The GNP is not so healthy, but who needs money when you've got Al around to do some cyber hacking?
Finally, our cities from the globe view:
Good work everyone! We played tightly, especially those turns when FDR sneak-attacked us. I enjoyed the variant immensely. I really like it when the AIs have powerful armies. Save is here, replay is attached.
