Blizzrd you don't need to bump THIS thread because people will find it anyway and it never becomes obsolete.
EDIT: Didn't see the new thread, so I think bumping wasn't a bad idea if you want to do it every week

Here's mighty Rome, which conquered Germany, and a bit stronger then usual Ethiopia (they got a Great Mediator Event with the Natives). Also note that Portugal captured Madrid.
Here's some screenshots from my (barely!) failed Spanish UHV. I failed the second one (and the hardest by far, IMO), which was to keep the English, Dutch and French out of the Americas in 1700 AD. There was one English city, Halifax. I was already firmly established in Incan and Aztec territory, so that goal was all but accomplished.
Spoiler:
Central America. Easily had Aztec territory here.
South America. Took the Incan cities largely with my initial group of explorers (the ones that just pop up on their own. The northernmost ones were taken by my Conquistadors fresh off the Aztec conquest. Then they headed down the coast and took 2 French cities, keeping only one.
North America. I settled a few cities, took New Orleans from the French, and you can see the wreckage of several English cities, one by me and one by barbs. However, that sneaky Victoria got Halifax in there when that was the only tile left not covered by my culture, and my weakened Conquistadors couldn't dislodge her cavalry. If I had 10 more turns, I could've done it...
Better yet, vassalize the French (destroy Bordeaux and Marseilles), squat on Amsterdam, and beeline military science for privateers to choke England to death. In my Spanish domination game, England got Astronomy only in 1680.
Fair enough, but I beelined Astronomy to make sure I was the first to get a colony on the New World (first time I tried I failed that). There's no way I could have done this AND successfully attacked the French. Besides, the French weren't the problem. My highly promoted Conquistadors ate Loius' Mustekeers for breakfast. The British with their Redcoats and then early Cavalry were the problem. Perhaps the Military Science/Privateers strategy is the solution to the British problem.
By the way, I didn't save that game there, because I had a good game going, and I was getting impatient with waiting to get ICBMs and blow up the world.
Also, if you use ICBMs in the 15th Century, there's no Global Warming.
I think I've discovered a new species, or at least a new unit that Rhye may
have not anticipated. I know it's a lion, but what's it doing in the ocean near
Greenland? And why does it seem to be holding an Egyptian flag. Any ideas?
Any thoughts? Any possible names for this unusual creature?
If you open the world builder and click somewhere by accident the Egyptian lion will spawn somewhere. Lately I was playing the Mongols and then I put a lion somewhere (removed the lion when I noticed it) and I contacted Egypt, although they were already collapsed (600 AD). Very annoying.
