Geez ... How did it turned so bad? I thought a few drafting should be able to handle whatever stack Vicky brings to us .... but the reality give me a big slap in the face
There is zero hope for winning ... so I see we have two choices:
(a) Refuse peace and fight it to the end
(b) Beg for peace, and somehow struggle to survive til 2050.
Option (a) seems the easy way out, get this over with
Option (b) will be extremely depressing and demoralizing, but its a challenge (so to speak).

She did, at the last turn of my previous turnset, asking for once city though.

OK, I... um... got it... doesn't look pretty though. I'm up in another SG, and will play that first. I'll try to get to this tomorrow morning... (in about 12 hrs)

Auto-Skip Notice
I am still able to play within 24 hrs from this post, thereafter I will be flying to Dallas to attend a meeting. Its almost a 24 hours flight from Singapore to Dallas, so I won't be able to play on 19th Mar US time. I may still be able to play at night during the 1 week meeting (I would be wide awake anyway due to jet-lag), but it depends. So, during the next week if I don't post a got-it, next player please auto-skip me whenever you are ready to play. I will lose Internet access on Friday, and flying back Friday night, so definitely a skip if I'm up on 24th and 25th.

OK, my miserable turnset is complete... Let's see... Cirica was lost... that was our last big stronghold. At this point it doesn't even look like Vicky will take peace!
Now, if she wasn't such a bully, and, franky, looked a little more like Catherine... I'd be turned on by a statement like that... *sigh*
In other news, Mansa started building the ship... so even if we wanted to try to survive to 2040, he'll launch by then anyways.
The only good news? we have assembly line, so we can finally build infrantry. Lot of good it will do us at this point.
Not sure why you'd want to read, but here's the autolog...
And the save...

Even Liz look better than Vicky ...
Not too bad, I see you managed to kill some english troops near the end ... maybe I should have taken peace when she offered ...
On one hand, getting AssLine is good, we can build infantry now. On the other hand, the cost of drafting is now too high ... 2 pops for an infantry as opposed to 1 pop for a rifleman ... so nationhood loses its attractiveness ....
Anyway, let see if we can survive until Mansa make the lanuch ... we can flee with him to Alpha Centuri and continue our predetermined city planning there ... ... ...

Oh, I forgot to mention... on my last turn I noticed that Saladin got wiped out.
Hey, at least we outlasted him!

Nah, I am happy to let you go first ... I am up on another SG, and meeting will end late today, so I don't think I will play any faster than you do. For all we know, we may be very near the end game ... ...

Well, we're still alive (and there are 100 turns left in the game)!
Our bestest Girl had this to say (amongst other things during my 10 turns)
High points of my turns:
Turned research down to 0. We won't ever be rich enough to use Democracy to buy anything and the gold now can help us upgrade (or perhaps bribe an ally).
Promote units to Pinch for the +25 against gunpowder instead of the +20 city defense. Just slightly better.
I did some creative attacking out of cities into multi unit stacks to get promotions earlier. This did weaken our defenses momentarily, but bleeding Vicky AND promoting units helps in the long run.
Very suprising, but Fredrick actually built a railroad to Neapolis, so for a couple turns I had cows going to George for 8gpt. Happy days!
Cumae was about to fold (multiple cavalry against 2 archers), so I gifted it to Frederick. Too bad the same turn Vicky captured Satricum.
In 1946, Cyrus gifted us Astronomy. Woo Hoo!
In 1948, Rome revolted. Too bad its not allowed to flip back EVAR.
Vicky is coming hard for Neapolis. I fended off her first wave with no loses, but another stack is on its way. We may (if the RNG blesses us) be able to hold off that stack as well.
Read here for ALL the combat details (and the turnlog):
Where we're at:
Mansa is darn close...
Our people live a real long time and love us...
Our "mighty" empire:
To spite Vicky, think about gifting to Gahndi or Fred the turn before a city falls to her. Your units remain there, but at least she doesn't get the capturing gold bonus AND another civ gets the city and surrounding areas. Its all about spite baby!
and the save

Geez, we are left with 2 miserable cities ???? 
I don't think we will survive til Mansa launch, he may have built over half the parts, but he is missing all the major items like Engine and Stasis ....
Let see if I can survive to pass it to eektor .....
I will play tomorrow night (too late and tired today) ... so if eektor want to grab this pitiful save, you are definitely welcomed. Else I will play tomorrow.

So much for the AI being bad at capturing cities.
