Hi community,
Im currently on game as Pericles on Immortal Pangea. Kongo is ahead of me in 10 techs. It is looking very bad on science tree. I had early won wars. Capatured German capital and destroyed many cities. Kongo ia teching some stuff about spaceship i just recently revealed fiels guns. And Kongo ia heading towards me with anty armour inf and i have muskets :/

The AI beelines certain techs like crazy so I wouldn't worry too much about that, though being 10 techs behind is kind of bad. Still I often see the AI beat me to Rocketry and Satellites yet I still easily beat them to finishing the tech tree as a whole

That, and also I find the AI to be a bit poor at effectively building the Mars Project as effectively as it could so you can definitely catch up there by focusing on lategame great scientists/engineers which boost space race projects and by trying to finish all the Mars Project components at the same time rather than one after another. Plus you can sabotage their spaceports with spies, which again the AI doesn't seem to do much in return

If you can turtle up and defend then I personally would be interesting in experiementing with how effectively you can sabotage the AI with Spies.

I was just able to pull off a Culture win against Kongo who had a significant Tech and culture lead by virtue of nicking about 9 great works. Ok, film studios palyed their part as well, but I was very pleased with how effective this was at dealing with the game leader.

He will probably never be able to take out any of your cities due to idiotic AI behavior. Don't field armies in the open. Build artillery/ranged stuff, and balloons if you can but they are a bit cheesy. Let Kongo shuffle its uits around your cities and blast them as they don't retreat fast enough.
But it's a bit sad.

Beeline nukes and take him back to the stone age.

The ai is terrible with techs and war. I was playing deity and pretty much 2 entire tech eras behind the entire game. I easily killed more of their units than they did mine. They at least upgraded but I don't know if they didn't have resources or what because they never made airplanes or anything else to actually kill my units. Also the more advanced units aren't crazy superior. I had a battleship and some form of crossbowman was dealing me 25 damage a turn. If you have and sort of range unit you can really soften their units and then just kill them with cavalry
