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: 17.22*KB Turn 10: I decided to go for a first ring at 4, 4.5. 52.35*KB Turn 70: And the second ring at 8, 8.5. 116.68*KB The map at turn 80: 8.12*KB |

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: 8.35*KB 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: 57.64*KB 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. 8.49*KB |

Turn 138:
Plux's empire now is very close to mine. But before focussing on him, I have my eye on: 12.14KB 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: 12.28KB He didn't move for two turns. I was afraid that he would beat me to it, so: 35.01KB 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: 49.79KB It turned out that I also got Chemistry for free |

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: 46.07*KB before 95.79*KB after Note that Plux moved the capitol to Wonsan With Plux and me in the Golden Age, these are the demographics: 20.9*KB 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. The map: 8.59*KB |

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): 18.65*KB 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: 52.18*KB My troops are prepared for an attack on Wonsan. Plux probably hasn't noticed them, but they can get there in one turn: 54.71*KB Like I said: 47.88*KB This is the world map now: 8.34*KB And the demograpics show that I ended my Golden Age, Plux probably not: 20.37*KB 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 ? 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 ?
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

@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? |

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... |
