[R&F] VidLP - Victoria takes over world - modded deity

[inquisitive_otter]

Greetings Civ Fanatics! I just got back from a two-week venture in England and boy did I learn a lot. I visited several museums (and pubs) to really soak in England's history of colonization... I saw artifacts from all over the world and really learned about the techniques used to be so prosperous. Now it is time to see if the strategy works in civilization. The evil AI controls other civilizations that England has fought with (defeated or lost) in the past. Lets see if we can raise the English flag across all of the continents.

This is a modded deity play-through where I am checking out a fellow civfanatics mod: Real Strategy (AI). I am very excited to check it out as well as take over the world with redcoats.
