Pre-Flight- Change nothing. Expect 3-5 Chinese cities take in my turns.
IBT- A defending Berzerker loses to a horseman. Indian ship movements. A few workers/settlers finish. Keep on trucking them.
Turn [1] 1110AD- Attack on Tientsin. Veteran Cav kills a spear only losing one hp and promoting. Another attacks, same result, except we capture it. Install a new governor and move on. Not a big turn.
IBT- Banking in. Set research to Econ. In in 5 at -52gpt.
Turn [2] 1120AD- Assult on Hangchow. Decide to send a fully loaded boat of 3 berserks to attack a coastal city. Kill first spear with lost of one hp. Flawless victory next as Hangchow is taken. Next stop, Beijing.
Assult on Beijing. Attack first with a Berserk. Kill a pike first while losing 1 hp. Vet cav takes half damage, but wins against a pike. Another Berserk win, still havent taking it yet. Will take next turn.
IBT- A lure i set near Shangia to take there bulk away from Beijing has worked. Lose only one Cav. Military Acadamy finishes. Immediatly making Armies.
Turn [3] 1130AD- Attack on XinJian. Start the attack there. Take city while losing no units and little hp.
Attack on Chuquiapo. On the other side of the continent, another ship full of Berserks is ready to take a coastal city. Mistake the ship to having all berserks, when its 1 and 2 cavs. Land 2 cavs and kill a defender with berserk.
Assult on Beijing. Capture of Beijing actually. Its too much of a culture problem for us to hold on to. I have to abandon. We dont want cities flipping back at this stage. Change Trondheim to bank as a prebuild for Smiths.
IBT- Lose a cannon/berserker to a MDI. Hurry a MDI in a town down south so we have protection against any ships coming in. Attack a MDI with an army, kill it only to reveal that India has 3 WE and 3 AC. Have to hold off.
Turn [4] 1140AD- Assult on Shangia. Take it with 2 loses of cavs. burn it and the Chinise are without iron i believe.
Assult on Chuiquipo. Attack with an elite Berserk. He dies but redlines the spear. Veteran finishes it off with no healt loss. Raze the city. Elite takes out a warrior/settler pair. Makes a GL. Quickly will take back to homeland and make another army. Otherwise, normal turn. Mostly worker actions/MM.
IBT- Lose a unit. Nothing else.
Turn [5] 1150AD- This will be my last turn. Ive left you waiting long enough. So here it goes.
Attack on Ningpo. Lose two berserks to a reg pike. Very unlucky RNG. Win some minor battles, no cities though.
MM and worker actions at home. Thats about it.
Notes- Gotta build some defense down south. Also, in the next 5/10 turns, if we apply our forces, we can take the China Peninsula and more. Also, we could use some more forces behind India.

I didn't keep a detailed summary as this doesn't require much attention to detail anymore. Basically, I torched a bunch of cities and transported troops. I fortified a bunch of workers, because I really don't see any more improvements we can make on our home conitnent that will really make any difference at this stage.
There are some Indian troops that have landed on our continent, and they will be able to take a city or two before our troops can respond. Nothing but a small bump in the road though.

Not much to report. Took waaaaaay too long to play. There is an army down near Karasjok waiting for the Galleon to finish there. I think we triggered India's GA not too long ago, but then again their empire is fairly large. Anyway, there were a few more War Elephants coming from the south than expected.

Sorry, missed your got it.
No problem.
The Inca are destroyed almost immediately. I then proceed to attack the Indians. I get this message, for a military great leader!
Continue to attack Indian cities up until 1350 AD, the end of my turns. They have about 6 visible cities, probably 2-3 in the unknown territory.

How bad are the elephants or pachyderms (as Bede would say)? did I spell that write? 
@ Viper - great set!
@ Viper - great set!
The oversized land animals with frail occupants cannot intimidate our cuirassiers, whose rifles make warriors with primative weapons no match to our superior weapons and tactics in every field except for the defense.
In other words: Cavalry can easily defeat most War Elephants, but the elephants can occaisionally win when they attack.

well, i picked up the turns. Started to play, and in less than three turns received this message....
Thoughts on last turns.
Taking 8 cities with 4 armies wasnt really challenging. This was a good teacher and i really enjoyed whenever i played.
I hope no one is too angry it ended on me, seeing as how i feel i didnt play a huge part in the game as I was on vacation.
We did very good and it was great playing with the whole team.
We finished with a rank of Magnificant and the score of 3582 I believe. Also, I would have included all three pics i made, but i had trouble with just this one even. Once again, great working with all! Call me if we do Vpr3!

Fun game. Go thought to go on the razing path. Never had so many MGL in a game before. 
Good game. That was a lot of fun, especially where we just kept landing troops and razing cities. Not upset that it ended on you. Nice score, too.
I plan to make Vpr3 soon. I'm thinking about 5CC. I'm also thinking about Defiant. Any interest on either of those? The variants page is here if anyone has another idea.
EDIT: Also a possibility of the Conquests. Admiral Kutzov seems like he has Pacific WWII covered and RBCiv recently played a lot of Napoleonic Europe, so anything before those two would be okay by me.
