SDC - Game 1 (Regent) - Spoiler Thread

Had to travel most of the last two weeks. Just finished: Domination in 880 AD.

First I isolated Tenochtitlan by pillaging all roads into it. This prevented the Aztecs from building pikemen (or swordsmen.) Next I sent two columns of Riders to the North and South of the Aztec Capital, capturing about 3 cities each. I was now close to the other Iron sources of the Aztecs, and pillaged them. I could now take Tenochtitlan. I ran some risk of losing a city due to culture flipping, so I only left 1 unit, preferably a pikeman, in each city. Actually, none flipped. I continued flooding across the Aztec lands until there were no more. Temple rushing occurred as soon as possible.

I'd gotten the Zulus to accept a peace treaty. After finishing the Aztecs and healing my forces, I launched against the Zulu. In about 7 turns I'd taken all but 3 of their cities. Domination ended the game.

I'm impressed with the Chinese Rider UU. That extra movement really extends their range, allowing multiple lightning attacks from large stacks. I'll try GOTMXII, and then on to SD2.
