I went back to an old game I had lost originally but had the save for from near the end. I changed my strategy and played it out to see if i could win.
I did win, but it was insanely close
Basically when I lost I had attacked the romans (red) and taken over their island but this wasn't enough to top the French score, who had the largest landmass.
So this time I attacked the Germans across the sea to gain as much of their ample territory as I could. This was done by crippling their major cities with nukes and following through with MA. Unfortunately the French then attacked me.ldn't be able to fight on 2 fronts.
As I fought them back, in a stalemate of many MA vs MA every turn I switched to the dirty tactic of building as many nukes as possible and nuking them into the ground hoping their score would stop increasing.
At this point they were only 15 or so points behind and gaining 2 every turn, with only 10 turns left!
I managed to push through and destroy Paris, Lyons, Chatres and another major city before being pushed back to the bottleneck that divided us.
With 3 turns to go and with me 3 points behind them now I had to play a final, desperate attack.
Gathering of all my forces from germany, putting them in boats and sailing for 3 islands off the shore there I managed to secure 3 cities and this gave me the points i needed, leading by 1 point in the last turn!
And it was only on Monarch
If I did it again I would've stuck with finishing off the easy Germans and so would've easily won with so much more land. As it was I thought I could take out a lot more of the French..doh
Gotta be the best game of civ I've ever played just for how close it was!
