So, I've been nosing around in the save game, and I was wondering if we were still playing towards domination. It seems like we are a bit late for it as it's the year 1820, and we still need to double our land area. If Domination is still our goal, the Wangman should be next in line to get his ass handed to him. If not, we could just stop with conquering, and focus on a Spaceship victory, which should be easy enough to achieve.

 

What do you peeps think?

The domination victory was my understanding of the plan, yes, and that's why I launched a vicious, unprovoked and entirely unnecessary military attack on Egypt, one that will cost me some sleep tonight I'm sure. I guess a spaceship victory would be fine, but we need to reinforce our borders and then get to developing our cities properly. I'm happy either way.

Blitzkrieg!

I'm leaning towards a domination victory myself, but just because I almost never go for one when playing alone. War is boring, especially in the latter stages of the game.

 

Blitzkrieg!

 

 

It's the only way to fight in Civ.

My 20 turns are done. Whoever's next will have the pleasure of eradicating Wang from our continent.

 

What I did was the following:

 

- Built the Statue of Liberty (just finished on turn 20). Enjoy the free specialists.

- Used the workers to play railroad whack-a-mole.

- Churned out more military units.

- Rushed improvements in our newer cities.

- Rained destruction on Korean forces.

- Researched Biology, Physics, Artillery, and Communism (Civic change)

 

Took out Nampo, Paegan, Wonsan and Pusan. Lost about three cannons and two or three cavalries in that endeavour. In retaliation, Wang Kon conquered Pi Ramesses from Hattie, right at the beginning of the war, and keeps pestering our units with his airships. Other than that he's just been standing there getting mauled.

 

Here's a map of Korean cities at the end of my round:

 

 

 

As you can see, our units are already marching towards Pi and Seoul.

 

Who do we attack next? Babylon should be easy to deal away with.

Is it dead?

I'd take another turn, but I'm going to be away from my PC until next week.

 

Depending on how close that gets us, I may just play out the string until Domination.

I'm very busy right now so if my turn comes around and nothing seems to happen, don't bother to wait too long. Just skip me.

Sorrry about being absent. i am following, but I'm a bit overloaded.
