I build the Colosseum, and really, all it does is to increase amenities in 3 cities by +3.
But with the ever present amenities issues in a AW game, it's better than nothing. Time to take out Japan to alleviate the war weariness in her former cities. We move the stack south towards Kyoto. Here, we will have to take care of the encampments first in order to avoid double defensive fire.
As you can spot maybe, my crossbowmen have some nice promotions by now. The ultimate power crossbow would be at level 4 with double attack.
After taking out the encampment, the way is ope to attack Kyoto proper. I lose one of the crossbows due to city defense fire, but manage to take out the walls. The fate of the city is clear. Unfortunately, Japan is not eliminated, though their capital would be enough to count towards domination. I want them out of the game so their cities can become meaningful for me.
