Regent in Training
I have been playing as China and started on a continent (gotta love that pangea setting) with Egypt but they are only remembered by a few "oddly named" Chinese cities.
i have been learning to work in Democracy and it is really nice on a lot of levels.
When I discovered the other continent, I managed to get a couple of cities on some open 5-tile slots and then I managed a couple more and so on. After my efforts, I had turned Stuttgart and created 5 of my own so I had 6 cities. Because I got Magellans, i have a direct 1 turn route (transport) between my continent and the other so I can get stuff over there and I have sent tons and tons of stuff over from the time I was sending galleys with spare swordsmen. But I am limited in getting stuff there
Then My dear MPP partner Russia attacked the day after they signed the new treaty... of course they did
So I signed Greece and Germany to an MA and after 12 (?I think 12) turns of war, we managed to wipe Russian off the map. Germany and I had an ROP and it sure made it easier to win the war against Russia. In addition to the cities I took, I also managed to plant a couple new cities as well to snag some resources. I took and then gifted two cities... Ephesus to Greece and Odessa to the Germans.
Now, after 12 turns of war, my democratic people were in shut down mode pretty much. War Weariness was a problem for them but to be honest it was late (3:45 am) and my personal War Weariness had bottomed out as well.
About 3 turns into Peace, Germany pulled a sneak attack. (well they declared just as all their troops were leaving my Russian lands - that should have told me something right there.)
I do not want to go back to war right now. My cities are poorly defended because I expanded so quickly and it is that 'other' continent.
I did a save at the end of the war but after the attack, I just shut the whole thing off without a save and quite frankly I would abandon the game rather than fight a long war with Germany. I don't like war - i can do it but I don't like it.
I was thinking of gifting Germany a couple of cities after the close of the war but I did not get a chance to do it... I was brain dead at the time. My question, and I do have one... is: Are the Germans likely to be satisfied if I gift them two or 3 more cities?
It was funny, when I took Moscow in a last minute realization that I had the units to take it rather than just providing air and artillery cover to the Germans, I just knew that I had done something wrong. I should have let them take Moscow...
Because I took so many cities, I was stretched really thinly for defense. I had some cities defended by swords
I will attach the save made at the end of the war in 1670. if anyone does use the save I have to mention that I have the "Less Corrupt MOD" in play so buildings and stuff that don't make sense normally work in my game because it actually frees up resources.
I didn't think to go back and get a screenie but I could do that at the end of the war phase.
Oh I was also trying to import a new leaderhead for China but it didn't work so I was getting 2 Catherines in the game. China and Russia both got her
