It's my turn. Here's the story.

Warlords, Continents, Noble, Epic

We begin on an island with Mansa Musa and Alex. Both copper and iron are rare on the continent, but I start almost on top of horses, plus a really lucky gold source just NW of Paris (Which I didn't see till I plopped Paris' settler down.
I grab one of the Iron, and Mansa grabs the other. I beat up on Alex really early, leaving him with 1 city. I stop to build up the Cottage econ, and develop my cities.

I end up tech leader quickly, and trade heavily with Mansa (Maybe mistake #1). Hannibal comes across the pond first, and we're mostly the tech leader. I develop Astronomy, go over to meet people. It's Hannibal and Brennus vs. Augustus and Elizabeth. I pissed off Hannibal when he first came over, and he was somewhat strong leader in score, so I decide that I can spread my religion to Augustus, make Lizzy and Augu good friends. So I create some Mercs and send them over, convert Augu, spread some tech love around, and wozza. I start the push to Mass Media (and the UN), and in this time, Augu and Mensa pass Hannibal, so I can't win the election now. I still try, and somewhere in here I get pulled into a war against Hannibal.

Hannibal won't give me peace, so I go over there and take half his cities. Then I decide to finish the job.


I don't know what my winning move is. As you can see I'm in a world of hurt if I attack anyone but Brennus, and I dont' think even he will make up enough to help me.
Any thoughts?
