ALMOST! I said.
I'm on Chieftain diffiulty,
100 training and construct (modded GameSpeedInfos.xml personally),
no city razing, no barbarians, no tech trading nor brokering, no vassals, no tribal villages, city easier to return to former owner, TechDiffusio, DynamicNames,
Conquest only victory,
Terra Standard map, Marathon speed, Balanced resources,
VS Boudica, Isabella, Dido, Nefetti, and a Hitti guy...
Hitti guy is 200 above me in scores and the other leaders are within 100 area with me, above or below and changing rapidly.
It is in Classical Age.
I already had my invading army ready, with three city armies ready to move after I capture three cities from Isabella. I'm hoping that after I capture three cities, I will sue for peace. But if she refuse to go for peace, at least I consolidated my empire enough to not be overworried (I HOPE!)
Well, that is how effective Zappara's changes are!
