Amsterdam cultured flipped?!?

I don't have a screenshot of the actual flip message but yeah

 

[Moshe Dayan]

I assume France conquered Amsterdam and then collapsed, allowing England to flip it?

This world is dominated by commies.

The USSA(me) was the first to discover Communism. We then spread it all over the globe (including to China and Russia) in a event called "The Great Gift." All of eastern Asia is communist, all of North and South America is communist, and great strides are being made in Europe.

Independent France in North America is being occupied by the USSA, and across the planet the forces of Socialism are advancing.

On track for the Orwellian UHV:
"Reduce the world to 3 socialist civs by 1984"

Nope, France collapsed a few turns before then Amsterdam which was the Dutch capital flipped to me...The Sistine Chapel is a powerful thing.

Tambien, may I ask how you got that map? It looks like you created it yourself, is there an easy program or website to do so?

It looks as though he used something similar to this base map, and probably altered it in either GIMP or Paint. That's what I do.

Ethiopia got Machine Guns without getting to Rifling?

Spoiler :

Hindu Bejing getting conquered by independents? Doesn't happen every day.

Spoiler :

Nice for you to build that, but sadly enough gunpowder has already been invented...

Spoiler :

Tamil conquerors!

Spoiler :

Cornmill?

Spoiler :

That volcano can erupt again, as far as I'm concerned

Spoiler :

The Moors are still alive in the twentieth century. I only conquered Spain a century ago, by the way.

Looks like collapsing Russia didn't destroy the threat at all.

Well, I was going to try something different (capital on the Iron), but ...

Oh well, I guess this is a fine time for a little World Builder.

Once you settle a city it'll go back to the coast.

My ship at the Mughal-Egyptian-Russian-Austrian border

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

From a recent 3000BC America Monarch/Normal start. Rev451.
I have to reroll sadly, because even though the start was superb,
the presence of Mega-Spain in America prevented any chance of winning.

I have never ever seen this happen before.

Ottomans at war (past tense) with Russia and having won spectacularly.

 

[mykeedee]

^ I once saw the Ottomans steamroll Russia and Germany, they ended up controlling everything west of the Urals and east of France with the exceptions of Scandinavia and Italy.

At least Egypt is at its place, right.

 

[Locutus_Morti]

In my current save, the Ottomans stretch from Jerusalem to Saint Petersburg. In some of my other games, they took Paris. Honestly, there are two civs that we need to nerf. Mongolia, and Turkey. They last too long and are almost always too big.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Their AI with K mod should fix everything; because when I play, they always get destroyed. They send all their military south, and Istanbul is just taken.

 

[iOnlySignIn]

The fate of Turkey in this game depends a lot on what kind of starting units it flips.

I once rolled a Turkey start where I flipped 3~4 Berserkers, 4~5 Landsknechts, 4 Knights, and 6~10 Trebuchets. HRE and Vikings troops were busy with some Independents. Now they work for me! Needless to say Osman's Dream was realized within a few generations.

I think Mexico/Aztecs needs to have a timed respawn if the Human player is America.

Just a first step towards full scale Decolonization. A necessary one.

Once upon a time I still played American starts where all Mexico is controlled by a European civ (usually Spain or England). Now I just re-roll - it's too much trouble and not very enjoyable at all.

I mean yeah, don't get me wrong, America is still perfectly winnable.

But I agree.

The ratio between number of unwinnable starts and number of hours spent trying to get an acceptable one is atrocious at the current time.

 

[Barbuesque]

In my experience, Mexico will invariably respawn before the 1930 deadline, so don't discount it as unwinnable if the area is entirely controlled by Spain or England. Worst case scenario, hitting their stability to trigger that event isn't too hard.
