I think this game will be over during my forced break, so just ignore me from the roster for what's left.
I really liked that variant, though the start was maybe a giveaway. That's the kind of start you could consider a first Deity game on, I believe. Have fun finishing Dora off

Spear for garrisson in Treizbond says a lot. She'll have a tough time with spears, but spears are cheap so there might be a few cities with overwhelming numbers of pitiful troops - unless she can make some guerillas (or some infantry
), though that is not likely.

Viper's profile says he was on today.
I'd say yes. Viper can take it when you're done. He said he couldn't play until late this week, so if you finish it by tomorrow, it should work out nicely.

Preturn- Looks great!
IBT- Cavs get rained on by longbowmen, one retreats, one dies. Cannon/Cavs continue to build.
Turn 1(1210AD)- Capture Trebizond. Position for the attack on Constantinople.
IBT- Lose an elite to longbowman.
Turn 2(1220AD)- Positioning.
IBT- None.
Turn 3(1230AD)- Bombardments are bad, wait a turn for their capital.
IBT- Nothing
Turn 4(1240AD)- Orenburg is ours. Also, we have a special little treat...
Well the capital is ours thanks to successful bombardment and heavy losses. Comes complete with a beautiful GL, a wonderful ToA, a giant SoZ, and another wonder I can't even think of! w00ts and 0wnag3 come from the homeland. News from Theo says she thinks we are h4x0rs, but we must go on! Despite heavy losses at Constantinople, we should be great from here on out.
IBT- Atomic->Replaceable Parts.
Turn 5(1250AD)- Nothing special, just random movemnets and unit bombardment.
For the next player.
War! huh! Good god ya'll! What is it good for! Absolutly everything!

Take Stockholm and Adrianople (and get Sun Tzu's, unfortunately the effects are only continental).
IBT- Lutetia Cav-Cav. Veii Uni-Factory. Rome Cav-Cav
2
IBT- Nineveh Lib-Uni. Cumae Cav-Cav. Neapolis Cav-Cav. Virconium Cav-Cav. Caesaraugusta Cav-Cav. Stockholm flips to Theo.
3
Capture Varna.
IBT- Antium Intelligence-Cav. Ravenna Uni-Cav. Hispalis Cav-Cav. Rome Cav-Cav.
4
IBT- Cities riot because of WW. Pisae Cav-Cav, Lutetia Cav-Cav, Byzantium Cav-Cav.
5
Capture Heraclea.
Move on to Smyrna and take Stockholm next turn. If you think the forces at Reykjavik are enough, go ahead and attack. Then I would finish the Byzantines, attack the Vikings, and win.

Pre-turn Trade World Map to Ragnor for both of his maps, 31 gold, and 5 gpt. Plant a spy in Smyrna, because I felt like it. Theo has 2 workers, 4 spears, 1 longbow, 5 muskets, and some captured cannons, spread out over 5 cities. And we still havent used that Great Leader. Ill use him on US next turn, since we have a good deal of WW in some cities. Might as well use him before the game is over.
IBT The longbow in Reykjavik attacks our cav on a mountain, and dies, promoting our cav. 2 berserks appear.
Varna flips!!!
1280 (1) Rome cav->US and rush it. Brundisium frigate->frigate. Tarentum cannon->cannon.
Capture Stockholm without losing any hp.
Lose a cav at Reykjavik, but capture it, along with all 5 of Theos cannons. Kill a spear at Smyrna.
IBT Those 2 berserks are acting suspicious. Hmm
RP->Sanitation due in 5 @ 70%, +33 gpt.
The resistance in Adrianople ends.
1285 (2) Rome US->infantry. Antium cav->cav. Lugdunum cav->aque.
Capture Smyrna without loss. We are now at 57% land and 93% pop.
I just noticed a barb camp in the fog. I think thats where the berserks are going I hope anyway.
IBT Yep, the berserk destroyed the barb camp.
1290 (3) Cumae cav->cav. Neapolis cav->cav. Lutetia cav->inf.
And I just realized we werent allowed to have foreign workers or artillery. Disband all our foreign workers (except onehell be gone next turn) and get twice as many shields. We have 2 trebs which Ill disband next turn too.
Phony peace treaty time!! Make peace with Theo for Oslo, 8 gold, PP, and both maps. Then, I redeclare and capture Varna.
Theo is down to 1 worker and 2 muskets, all in one city (Bergen). I have 3 cavs and 5 cannons next to it.
Lower Sci to 60%, Sani due in 4.
IBT Oslo riots. The resistance in Heraclea ends.
1295 (4) Rome inf->coal plant. Syracuse frigate->frigate. Disband Caesarea.
Bombard Bergen, and bring the two muskets to 2 hp. There is also a spear in there, though. It falls without much hassle, though, and Theo is dead. We also get 3 slaves and 54 gold. Disband all the slaves and the trebs.
1300 (5) Lisbon frigate->galleon. Oporto factory->market. Antium cav->cav. Pisae cav->cav.
Upgrade the 5 cannons in Bergen for 300 gold.
Plant an agent in Trondheim. Ragnar has 6 spears, 2 berserks, and a caravel. I declare and take out his last two offensive units.
There will be 17 cavs ready to attack next turn, and a few frigates to bombard. Ragnar should not last more than 2 turns.
1305 (6) Lutetia inf->cav. Ravenna cav->barracks Hispalis cav->inf.
Capture Trondheim along with the Great Wall, and destroy the caravel.
Ragnar has 2 spears left thats it.
Send the battalion of 15 cavs to Copenhagen (see pic). Ragnar is no more.
IBT - A barb appears.
1310 (7) - We achieve a Conquest Victory, at 25 hours, 53 minutes, 19 seconds.
Great game guys. The save below was taken at the same time as the pic.
Final Score: 5539. Looking over the replay, we had Galileo since 130 AD.
