Swinging West at last and some consolidation
^ Louis is next, the founder of Hinduism...
^ The base of my colonial ambitions...
^ So it begins, reconquering Ankhor Thom.
^ The stack. Again, nowhere else in the world has researched Rifling.
^ L'Advance into the Khmer/Louis XIV.
^ Louis falls. I give him back a few cities.
^ Finally some recognition.
^ My attempts to conquer the Barbarian Isles.
^ They held out well, the Barbs. Also passed the 'Habormaster' quest.
^ Introducing the Babylonians under Joao. Finally have those Barbarian islands under my control.
^ Also a surprise entry into the Industrial Age via a tech trace. Scientific Method shows me where the Oil is.
^ Will swing for the Great Spy perk of researching Communism first.
^ Plenty of Oil and other 'General' resources within our borders.
^ Fear the Sumerian Stack. Getting into position versus the Dutch-Persian in light blue.
^ Probably my greatest rival.
^ Espionage. Note the renewed '3' main enemies and '2' their vassals, '1' being my vassals.
^ Took what seemed like forever but declared on Willem and Elizabeth.
^ Rifles and Cavalry would fight Knights et al in an uneven military struggle.
^ Unfortunately for me, the evil guys would make peace with Willem and Elizabeth.., also Mao was now subject!!!
^ My distance from victory. Looking like classic Domination eg 51% control.
^ Score breakdown.
^ Power.
^ The battleground? Former Alexander-Arab territory. Jewish homeland. Note my Rifles on the right.
^ His terms early war. C'mon man!
^ Pushing West.His stuff his archaic.
^ Tempting though it is to provoke my vassal Wang Kon of the Inca, I pass.
^ Not serious enough? I start drafting Riflemen on the Russia side.
^ He can't resist. Crossbows and War Elephants are two generations behind Rifles and Cavalry.
^ Worried about my new #1 rival Charlemagne wandering eastward toward me with relatively advanced shit.
^ The South of Willem. A joke to fight.
^ Swing back to the barbs. Frigates bombard defences and Rifles dare to dream.
^ Still alarmed at Viking/Charlemagne stack. Press on into Willem.
^ My efforts net me a Great General. I settle him this time.
^ We press west in hope of capitulation.
^ The South. The Inca assist us.
^ Still observing Charles' advance east over any potential light blue threat.
^ Elizabeth breaks free. Willem will surely fall.
^ The release of Elizabeth of the Celts and all the military pressure marks Capitulation for him.
^ Great Spy with Communism. Golden Age (our first) commences.
^ Brief press into Elizabeth to get a decision.
^ Slaughter reduced her to one defender and certain Capitulation.
^ Fin. Peace without taking a city. Who is next so we can win?
