TSG12 After Action Report

[killerloop]

To Tabarnak:

I didn't develop any SP's in the rationalism tree. As I recall, my SP development was:
Liberty Citizenship (for the early worker) Collective Rule Meritocracy Legalism Aristocracy Landed Elite (for growth) Patronage Monarchy (happiness!) Philantropy and finally Aesthetics as close to the end I didn't need Scholasticism any more. I didn't have time to open rationalism at all.

BTW I stole two workers from Tyre, getting perma-war, so when I started taking Wu on (125 AD), I 1st took Tyre. After 400AD I was at peace.

I also was almost whole game allied with signapore giving me the spices, dyes and horses to trade, and their units to take the 1st hit when I started the war with Wu ;-)

DIPLOMATIC VICTORY
Turn 222 (1560ad)
Score: 3138 (HOF) / 1381 (Game)
Conditions: no RA's, no puppetry
Cities: 12 (11 founded, 1 conquered)
Progress report: 1-121, 122-160, 161-183

The last 40 turns of the game saw more action than before. We got plenty of units from our militaristic allies, so we made some modest use of them. Our units conquered Berlin, the only German city left, and pushed Japan and Egypt around some when they became unfriendly as our victory neared. Our city state allies took several Japanese and Egyptian cities, which they razed, and could have wiped the both of them out had the game lasted any longer.
India, however, stayed on our side the whole game. They only completed two branches of the policy tree.

The timing of our last Great Scientist was suboptimal, or we could have finished 5 turns earlier. Science simply went faster than expected.


On turn 212, London popped that Great Scientist and also a Great Engineer, while York completed Oxford University. England entered the modern age, and immediately bulbed to Globalization. The UN was built in a single turn.

London grew to size 29 and added the Sistine Chapel to its assets on the last turn.
