Part IV: Wonder Whore + Cleaning out Civs
(sorry...but there is a 30 image limit per post)

Spoiler :

- try ChinchenItza

Spoiler :

- I rarely go for this Wonder, but since I was warring everyone early on, figured I had a good shot at it.

- plan to combo this with Taj for Golden Age bonuses

- Barbs @ Capital

Spoiler :

- barbs are having a field day at my capital; it's a trade off since I am sending my units out for early Domination
- good thing City defense can take care of them due to advance era

- Social Policy: Educated Elite

Spoiler :

- since game is coming to an end soon, I planed to use the Great Person for Golden Age to leverage the immediate production boost at Capital
- if happiness is an issue from chaining too many puppets; can opt for Culture Diplomacy instead for the 2x Happy from City States

- Japan lost Capital, sue for Peace

Spoiler :

- 4 down 3 to go

- Lost Rifleman

Spoiler :

- forgot these Rifles weren't upgraded from UU, can't heal after kill, thus lost them after they didn't heal after a kill; die from City defense shots

- for that Rifleman, Persia is gone

- two to go

- England Down

Spoiler :

- England was surprisingly easy given how late I arrived; they didn't have longbow
- I suspected it might have something to do with my earlier War Bribes

- 1 to go

- spawned a GS from a City State (via educated elite)

Spoiler :

- sent him to the Capital and burned it on a Golden Age; speeds up Taj Build

- Cannot find Germany!!!

Spoiler :

- spent alot of time looking for Germany, even when I did see his border, I can't find Berlin
- because of the unimproved Cotton by the Sheep, I guestimated Berlin to be Northeast of Hamburg
- figured southwest one is his 4th city

- so much for knowing the AI

- wasn't a total lost finding Berlin late

Spoiler :

- finish Taj just in time for me to finish Berlin; just for the wonder score

- Win

Spoiler :

I played this game for fun but the 1up is just not for me. I wonder for this game's part in a strategy game. The ruins are imbalance enough I had say.
