Battle of Bombay
vSword vs. rSpear - wins, now 5/5
Captures a settler, captures Bombay.
Can't believe they only had 1 unit...

Have some swords going after the settler/spear pair, will sign peace once I finish that, and leave them with one city in the very north. Starting a buildup by the Koreans, will declare war pretty soon against them.

Signed peace with India for their one gold. They are now banished to an location with a size 1 city, and only desert, coast, plains, and hills around. They aren't a threat anymore. I'm building up a force of MDIs and leftover swords which I might upgrade to attack Korea. I have a Knight's Templar prebuild going in my capital.

Elite wins without a leader: 2

A volley of screenshots coming your way.

Thanks KingReno for the renamed Samurai. :D

Instead of writing 2000 words, I'll show these: I convinced Paal to play the save just for this.

I get Knight's Templar next turn. Paal will be shocked. :D

You seem to be doing well, Ginger_Ale. India gone, Korea under threat, Contact + an alive galley on the assumed other continent.

2 questions:
1 - can you post a map which includes score ?
2 - what will be your short term and longer term strategy ?

1. Your wish is my command.

I am still not sure if Paal has left Despotism, as I'm leaping ahead in score, but I assume he has.

2. Short term: Use my Celine Dions or Samurai to incite a golden age (perhaps grab a wonder or two - Smiths would be nice), and eradicate everyone from my continent. I bet I can get everyone off by Cavalry.

Long term: Build up my cities with factories and rails. Maybe I can snag ToE and Hoovers, which to me are more important than Universal Suffrage. Then, I'll wait for Transports to make my move on Paal, establishing a beachhead, building an airport, etc...but that will come later.

My main goal now: get rid of Korea and hopefully get a MGL - that will speed up conquests on my continent and help destroy Paalikles.

You can check F3 for this information... ;)

I haven't met him. [:p]

Orange Incas?

Looks like you're making short works of the AIs. What level is this?
