I guess you can play, so it wasn't a skip, but a swap. If that's ok with JJJSpider.

Tupac Lives on!!
I have a training camp for the national titles for rowing starting today and finishing sunday of next week. I may have about 3 hours tomorrow in which I'll try and play five turns... but I make no guarantees. If I haven't posted a log or save (may not have time to log everything in the detail I would like) within 32 hours of this post, consider me skipped.

Those will probably be the last turns in this game. Great game all!

Yeah, Tupac can play. This was a pretty weird AWE in my mind. At no point were we in any serious trouble. We only lost that one city for a landing but otherwise we were pretty solid. Those Persian knights were a real pain in the butt killing our legions in jungle and on mountains. I don't know what was wrong, because we couldn't have that bad RNG for that long.
It was rather easy. All this with out Armies or knights. Our first Army was Cavs and by then we were advancing on Persian in force.
Keys:
1. We got an early jump on India and they were never able to recover.
2. The Jungle Terrian to the south really helped out with limited contacts for a long time.
3. Babylon was very limited on expansion by Persia.
I was more curios about the knights my self because had they been pikes I don't think they would have attacked them at all.

One key factor was also that we got leaders early to rush Pyramids and Sun Tzu. With Granary and Barracks free in every city, we got growth and veteran troops and didn't need to use shields to build those.
Great game, guys.

I'm just finishing off my training camp for national titles for rowing (started last sunday, finishes this sunday) so I can't play till sunday. Very kind of you to let me finish it off 
provided you don't mind waiting
This has been a great game guys, a very beneficial map for us, but I think we're showing the quality of the players in this team too.

Pre-turn - don't bother MM, we are 123 tiles from domination.
IT - zzz
Turn 1 - We get WLTKD in many cities. Lose a cav and kill 3 defenders and capture Heidleburg. (3-1) Line up Munich and Frankfurt for attack next turn. Found Silk Town.
IT - The Iroquois sail into view
Turn 2 - Declare war on the Iroquois. Capture Frankfurt, fall just short at Munich. (8-1) Kill a Zulu impi-settler pair (9-1). Sink a Zulu galley (10-1)
IT - Iro galley attacks a galleon and loses (11-1).
Turn 3 - Kill 2 defenders and capture Munich (13-1) that means the Germans are no more.
IT - Aztecs rock up. Iro suicide another galley (14-1)
Turn 4 - declare on aztecs. Lose 2 cavs and 1 retreat at Zimbabwae, we kill an impi (15-3). Kill an aztec settler pair (16-3).
IT - our top cav (an elite) kills a Zulu LB on defence and spawns a leader! (17-3).
Turn 5 - Lose 2 more cavs, kill 4 defenders at Zimbab, and there is a redlined musket as the last defender grrrr!! (21-5).
IT - bucket loads of new defenders run into Zimbabwae, DAMN IT!
Turn 6 - have to wait for reinforcements, cant possibly take Zimbab this turn. Rush smiths in Germo Expand with the leader.
IT - zzz
Turn 7 - we are nine tiles short of domination. Our new reinforcements all die without so much as scratching the surface of the defenders at Zimbabwae (21-14) I just give up and hit end turn, 2 turns and we win anyway, screw it.
IT -zzz
Turn 8 - hit end turn.
IT - and we win
Final score is 5588. Here is the final save, just hit end turn. Great game everyone, probably too easy, but we can only beat whats in front of us. Well played all of you, we absolutely dominated this game.
