We have a permanent alliance... Quin, Qin whatever his name is. If he wins, I win!~--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So to continue....
I take a look at Korea after robotics finishes, and I notice he is a vassal of Jao. Well that wont do, so its Issabella/Fredrick again.
A short buildup, and it's off to the races again, with new shiney mech infantry. I hold up in my captured german cities for a turn, figuring Izzy will come at them, since they are surrounded by german culture. And like the silly ai she is, she does. I'm then able to use my MInf to deal a very damaging blow to her power. And this puts me on the offensive, first into germany.
I raze a city too close to Jao's border and move onto another. China heads at izzy and keeps her reletivly pinned. I had sent a minor amphib fleet to her eastern city, not expecting to capture it, just keep some units busy, but amazingly, they do capture the city after 5 or 6 turns of assaulting it.
Then it comes... As I'm on the offensive, Jao sends a force at me. Just to mess with my head, he lets it sit there just long enough for me to see it.
He takes that last german city i captured and spreads his forces out. It takes a long hard fight of see-saw fighting to beat BOTH of our power graphs down, but as I'm producing nothing but units, and I'm smarter I manage to beat him out. Quin does some seriose damage to izzy and I manage to capture 1 city. After i finally build up enough force I send it up at Frankfurt (germany's last city). Jao recaptures that border town again, but izzy is all but lost and I accept peace, to see how close I am, and build up more forces, for a final push...
This puts that border city back into my control, and I wait out resistance, then....
Ahhh victory at last! Diety has been conquered, with much help from permanent alliance. It couldnt have happened without qin... no doubt.
and after all that, the score is low on the list... how sad.Last edited by Hauptman; March 2, 2008, 00:19.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll try winning this without permanent alliances.
Road to war passed thru an attempt to bulb Mil Tradition with GAs while researching Gunpowder. I got unlucky with my gpp pool failing to produce a GA twice. Oh, well...
Meanwhile the GM completed his mission and eventually a bunch of prebuild jumbos were upgraded to Cuirassiers. Also, I upgraded some older ships to Frigates and Galleons.
Shaka was the first to go down. Korea is next. Right now I'm contemplating on making Shaka a vassal or not.
