Here is my very first tournament try with an (nearly) unexpected cultural finish. About 1973 I realized that i will soon be winning. So I decided to keep peace at all kost.
In the beginning I started to destroy the Persians - so that i can expand on my own continent. Then i started to expand to the west and south. After some Wars against russia and the greek i could keep my level and getting slowly stronger than the others.
Germay and Baylon were very strong from the beginning and I always tried to keep good conections to them.
I was angry how the other nations were signing a MPP with me - then starting a war (i have to join the war) and only 3 rounds later making peace again. But i couldn't even speak to the nation i am still in war with.
I was quite impressed how quick the other nations expands.
(It was my first game as monarch and my second harder than chieftain - i guess i am quite a newbie).
Let's have a look how the next game (number 6) will end.
