I just wanted a very quick War Cart spamming game. Captured one of Victoria's original three Settlers, but my Warrior and the stolen Settler got trapped on a single tile peninsula with Defense 3 terrain. Victoria tried to kill my Warrior, but eventually gave up and I was finally able to make peace. I later captured one of her Builders (with 2 charged left) too.
The starting tile had two horse plots 2 tiles away (one N and one S); I settled in place. I eventually researched Horseback Riding and built two Horsemen. I built a total of 6 War Carts. Lost 2 War Carts and original Warrior trying to destroy Victoria's military after her failed attack on my capital with 6 Warriors.
The odd thing was Victoria's units were entering my borders without Open Borders or a state of War. After a couple of turns with two of her units right next to my city center, she declared a surprise War and the units stayed where they were. Must be a bug of some kind. A City State unit also entered my borders too; there's no reason that I can think of for that to be allowed either.
I captured one of her cities just after it finished a Settler; so that was the second and final Settler I captured; never had time to use or spare a military unit to escort it. A few turns before I surrounded her Capital, she generated a Great Prophet. It was in her Capital when I captured it. It appears that destroyed the Great Prophet. Can other Great People be captured?
Anyway, it was a nice short game where I learned to use War Carts in a war of attrition (mainly her units were lost).
