Kudos to...
Alexander, our third winner in a row to start from the bottom/cramped land, this time conquering Ethiopia with a handful of swords and spears, and relentlessly focussing threats above all else
De Gaulle, for playing his margins over Victoria and otherwise flying completely and utterly under the radar
RIP...
Ragnar, who broke the Byzantines in an impeccable reenactment of the Battle of Adrianople
Justinian, who won all the reward challenges therein lending credence to decadence as critique

If Alex didn't win by domination, then nukes would of wiped out his army when he declared again. France would of got the wonder pretty quickly. Leaving a mobile French force to crush his cities. Could of gone either way if he didn't get 64% of land.
French restricted by the we do not attack at pleased. Amazing how much nukes can influence these games.
From my games I tend to find wonder spaming does not win you games. Same is true here for Justin.

Funnily enough De Gaulle is the only leader who has a modifier to increase his unit type build probability for "ICBM" (whatever that means
) so it could have been a radioactive wasteland if Alex had paused for a few turns before attacking De Gaul. Alexander was quite far behind it techs at that point. Could have been a repeat of Shaka vs Hammy again.I did fairly well compared to last week. Got 16 points so managed to jump up the leaderboard a bit.
Never been happier with a game where all my predictions were bunk! Was upset with Alex for killing Zara but that 
on Justinian was beautiful. So glad we dodged the boring "#1 favorite runs away like we all knew they would" match.

So I rewatched the video with lots of pauses.
Justinian's main army was half the size of Ragnar's main army when it tried to surround it.
That is why it got vaporized.
Rags then healed up while bombarding and had a good showing for the rest of the war.
Justinian started to turn things around, but then Alex pounced.
This game was a good illustration that to win, a total warmonger needs good peace weight diplo, great starting land with a gold mine, and a neighbor loaded with flood plains with no production.
They won't ever win space right?
Even at the end with half the world, Alex sucked at teching.
Assembly Line is the strongest tech with double production to rebuild armies instantly, Infantry, and later Tanks.
Not something Alex was interested in heh.
A key moment was getting that very early barb city with a bunch of Chariots.
That was crucial for Alex.

Just watched this one on YouTube. I love when warmongers snowball. The decisive wars are so much fun. Lots of pre construction decisive wars this season, it's been fun so far.
Was hoping Ragnar could squeak into the playoffs.

Got round to watching this in the end. Boy, Justinian was on the secret ‘build all the wonders’ victory condition, wasn’t he.
Nice to see wars that go places, indeed it could have been even easier for Alex had he taken Zara’s city about 50 turns earlier (he almost did pre catapults, fine margins).
Would have been fun to see Alex vs de Gaulle in the end, not clear who would have won that show down. Still, two worthy leaders progressing.

There was no game today (Sullla on a trip for work), so he posted some alternate histories! Didn't see anyone posting about it, so I made a thread and will do some cross-linking work. Here's the video to discuss!
