After many months this is still running and I;m getting my ass kicked severely. Kemal has basically conquered 70% of his island while im still in the land grab phase wrap up.
He severely hampered me by declaring war 20 turns after we met and dragged in the whole island. I lost a city, razed an egyptian one and finished of some wandering units, but my military was so weak it was touch and go. I finally made peace again when all AI were in speaking terms again. we agreed on a 40 turn peace deal.
This about to end and Kemal is about an entire age ahead of me. I;m researching gunpowder, he's in IA. I'll post a screenie of this ultimate disaster tomorrow.
