Domination Victory - 1915
Grabbed Great Lighthouse and Colossus, which gave me plenty of early cash. Headed towards Sams and Frigates. Upgraded 3 triremes to frigates, and took them south to kill Germany.
2 turns short of getting Machu Piccu. That would have meant huge cash.
Finished them off and made Berlin into a Wonder factory. Swung around and took Paris fairly quickly.
Floated the fleet / army to Mecca and conquer in fairly easily. Only 3 samuri's remain at the moment
Upgraded the samuri's to riflemen. Floated the fleet over to Egypt with a couple more rifles joinging up, and took one extra city and thebes.
Waited a few turns until Infantry became available. Upgraded 4 rifles to infantry and began floating infantry across from the other side.
Multi-pronged attack by land and sea on China. Liberated Helenski, took a coastal city, razed a few minor cities and moved in on Bejing. Infantry/rifles were strong enough that cho-ku-nu were not an issue.
Upgraded all remaining rifles to infantry, which I had bulbed.
Regrouped and floated to the Mongols capital. Took one extra city on the pennisula, then took down the capitol. I began to realize how handy frigate range is.
My fleet / army continues to swell with each conquest. Floated to Russia, took St. Petersburg, and then ground assualted Moscow.
Waiting a few turns for combustion, so I can get destroyers before assaulting Greece, as they are actually ahead of me in tech.
I spend my fortunes upgrading most of the fleet to destroyers. A couple turns to get into position, and then I finished off Athens for the win.
I had lots of money during this game, as I settled my first two great merchants near the capitol. That combined with colossus, and the maritime opener that gives extra cash in the capitol, meant I was rolling in money.
Happiness was a problem through out. After the conquests began, it was rare to be above 0.
