Aggie - Plux *spoiler*
 

This game is getting interesting. Now that Plux takes a holiday for a week I have enough time to make a decent spoiler.

We play a deity game with 2 settlers for the humans. I am the Chinese, Plux is the Arabs with the same traits as me. Nightfa11 made the map.

This was my start:

Turn 84:
After buying Polytheism from the Koreans, I enter the Middle Ages. Plux did enter it the same turn.

Turn 88:
Plux is at war with Korea. This tiny nation is rich and scientifically advanced, but too weak to defend itself.

Turn 100:
Plux is very succesful is his war:

I decided to wait for Riders. Only a couple of bordertowns (Rome, America) are very appealing:

Turn 120:
My first war, with the Americans, got me Miami and Buffalo:

Turn 135:
After the peace with America, I went for a couple of Roman cities. Also. Korea declared war. While attacking them, I entered the Golden Age.

Turn 138:
Plux's empire now is very close to mine. But before focussing on him, I have my eye on:

My plan is to capture Trondhiem and keep it for one turn. This should give me Theology and Gunpowder. After that I want to raze the place, because Plux is too close to it.

However, Plux blocked my path to Trondheim:

He didn't move for two turns. I was afraid that he would beat me to it, so:

After my attack I immediately offered peace with Plux. But since he wasn't online and I really wanted to end the turn, I decided to:

It turned out that I also got Chemistry for free [hammer]

Turn 146:

A couple of relatively quiet turns followed. I got peace with Rome and also managed to agree upon a ROP. Plux razed two Russian town to his south. His troops to the south and me having a quick route in the north, made my choice easy:

Note that Plux moved the capitol to Wonsan [evil]

With Plux and me in the Golden Age, these are the demographics:

He managed to get peace with Russia and America. I decided to NOT get MA's with them again. I wanted to wait until Carthage and the Vikings also made peace.

Turn 150:

A couple of turns already, since the fall of three Arab cities, this is what the Military Advisor says (sorry anarres, I believe him):

On the diplo front also things changed. Rome and America turned against me for instance (due to Plux). I got Cathage besides me in the wars. They are my neighbours, strong and also a valued trade partner. Should Plux turn them against me, it would be unpleseant but I will get a lot of cash back:

My troops are prepared for an attack on Wonsan. Plux probably hasn't noticed them, but they can get there in one turn:

This is the world map now:

And the demograpics show that I ended my Golden Age, Plux probably not:

My goal now is to remain at war with Plux. He must be having a lot of war weariness. I will also constantly get the world vs Plux. Plux may be getting a force strong enough to fight me (I must leave a strong force behind, to counterattack a possible Carthage invasion), but how to keep an eye on my troops when Russia comes from the south [evil]?

Tech-wise I know Mettalurgy. So soon we will be in the cavalry age. Plux still has to learn Chemistry. I'm hoping that the sight of cavalry will be a blow too big to handle...

The power of Riders in the right hands he ? [thumbsup]
Beautiful game since now, you are dominating him no doubt, what a stupid move it was to move his capital to Korea before he had proper defenses there, unbelievable.
I also dont get why he did not go the TGlib before you [scratch]

@Sky, he had it defended well enough to keep AI away. But humans fight the wars in another way :)

Can't understand the capital move/missed TGL raid either.
Maybe Plux moved the capital before you declared war on him?
Or did "just moved capital to Wonsan" mean it went there around turn 146?

I said that he moved the capital there, not 'just moved' ;). It happened about 5 turns before our war. That was my trigger to conquer TGL!! I was obviously under the impression that he would attack the Vikings.

EDIT: Note that the borders of Wonsan already had expanded at turn 135. It was his city South East in his empire.

My bad. Sorry for mis-quoting you.
(I should have moved the word "just" before the word "went";)).

Anyway, things clear now (I think...).

I hope Plux's capital went to an ugly place in the north in the process...[evil]
