Well, finally got the time to finish my first RB adventure (on time)!
Result was a Diplomatic Victory by 1898 AD.
I'm sure there are way better results, but I had fun. Made a lot of mistakes, though.
Buddied up with Ramesses II and Hannibal for shared religion and stayed friends with them untill the end of game. Hannibal voted for me over Ramesses to get my diplo win.
Settled in place and started settling agressively towards Egypt. That settled my borders over there. Then there were some barb cities, but I was to late to take most of them. Hannibal captured a good one that suffered under my cultural pressure later in the game. Ramesses captured a city to my east and then GIFTED
it to me... that helped a lot.
I build GL, MoM and TM (940 AD) for a 24 turn Golden Age.
Build up a nice border with Toku and Justin. Justin attacked (1030 AD) just before I took Rifling with Liberalism (had manually teched Nationalism). I managed to hold him off. Then Toku joined the party (1120 AD). I beat all advancing stacks with mostly Rifles.
I made peace with both of them, but came back a few centuries later (1590 AD) to take out Justinian and Toku. Took some time, but in 1842 Toku was gone and in 1872 Justinian left us. That left me about 0,40% short of domination.
Decided to try diplo instead of space and in 1898 I got it!
Nice game, made pretty easy by the absurd amount of gold...
Thanks for the Adventure!
