Started a game while ago, got Genghis Khan this time. Was actually quite well for a while, even though I was apparently playing while surrounded on all sides by 5 or 6 different civs that declare war on pleased. I never could decide who to friend and who to not, note that I never selected a state religion because if I did I would've ended up in a war with 2 other civs as a consequence.
Looking at my leader traits, I decided to go for a domination victory. I took out Williem, as you can see the eastern half of my empire. I then sat there and worked on putting up cottages to get my economy stable again. I wasn't sure who to conquer next, but I ended up going after Huang because he was sending an endless stream of spies into my territory to sabotage everything (note that I upped my espionage to try and counter this). Obviously, my army (located in Shanghai) isn't nearly enough to conquer his territory. I was kind of rushed since they were about to become outdated and besides I was beyond sick of him poisoning my highest population cities and blowing up my fully upgraded cottages.
I haven't played this game since the date on the save (apparently november 27), because I don't see myself getting a domination victory at this point.
Again, I can't see what I could've done. Trying to conquer your neighbors is hard when your troops go out of date so fast. My entire army was originally swordsman that I upgraded (note that they all have city attack 2, an upgrade riflemen can't take). Now, I have a puny little army in his terriotory that can't possibly take another city, and I don't have nearly enough siege to even take one more city. Really, I was only producing troops in the cities I settled myself. The troops I was making over in Williem's old territory were just being made to protect those cities since they had no one guarding them and with how much of a border my empire shares with his I was afraid he would launch an attack on those cities (note that there's a bunch of troops up next to one of his cities over there, I put them there because he kept marching into my territory).
Yeah, I don't know what to do next or if this is even salvable. Thinking about restarting again. Also I've noticed, I only really seem to enjoy the earlier part of the game where you're founding cities and such. I don't know why, I guess because back when I played civ 2 on the ps1 I never could last very long, so I got used to seeing the same units all the time.
