Yeah cannons from Matrix earlier would've made this a whole different war. I doubt I could have won it - or defended the gold coast colony for that matter. His economic rise would've matched mine, so I'd have been forced to conquer Japan/Mongolia to stay ahead. Without them having cannons I was able to botch 2 invasions, lose 2 whole armies overextending on each side of the continent, and still keep pushing both.
That's with me on war civics and him without 2 of his core cities (so both lower GNP). Still, neck-and-neck. I'd have reached factories+Sid Sushi+Infantry much faster but cannons and grenadiers would've held the continent for a while. Tanks would've done it.
Right now he is 1 turn away from steel. Next: I'll move on Strastadt, then he'll upgrade, turn. Next I'll attack, then cannons can counter-attack, turn. It'll be an interesting few days.
