- I don't know about you, but i've never won a game through the space race. It's
- just not my style. In this game I played as the Celts, I almost always do. I
- played on the largest earth map, with randomized resourses and posistions. I
- kept getting lots of advanced tribes and my civilization flourished from
- eastern russia to spain.
-
- I made a b-line for democracy, built the statue o' liberty, then changed to
- fundementalist. I hoped that the great library would take care of my science
- and it did that buetifully as my enemies feared my power more they became
- closer allies giving countless advancements between themselves. The fruits of
- which i also enjoyed.
-
- Just as the power graph peaked I began a 700 year war with the Zulus. Who were
- actually in Africa. I was at a point in the game, namely with dragoons and
- musketeer, where the defender behind city walls has the advantage. So to even
- the playing field I continually built more cavalry with about 1/3 of my
- empire. I also set several citys to permminatly create an equally large army
- of spies.
-
- Slowly but surely my industrial stregnth told the tale in Africa and around
- 1800 i finally finished of the Zulus, and their North America counterparts the
- Greeks, with another 30 years to capture south America and austrailia i
- conquered the world around 1840. At one point i had 200 cavalry in three
- continants. Needless to say i spent all of this time in fundemenalist govt
-
- So in effect i conquered the world by dividing then outnumbering my enemy. I
- used their fortresses against them, i isolated citys throught their own
- fortresses and considered the loss of 1/4 of my attack force low.
-
- Not that this is the only way to win that kind of game. I just wanted to try
- it. Like i said the peacefull way was never really my fav. I am always in the
- mood for a good old fashion rumble. Now i'm practically alone and the only
- ones who i want to kill are the damn advisors.
