As I spent the last hours of play finishing off the Spanish rather than writing a report, it's not ready yet. I'm hoping later this week. In the meantime, here's the executive suary:
Finishing Date: none
Ending date: 1795AD (I think.. screenshots at home)
Civilizations crushed beneath the French boot: 6
Arabia
Mali
Greece
Mongolia
Germany (technically, the Romans did this, but I killed almost all the enemy units for them)
Spain
My basic plan for the game was to build up a solid economic base (very successful), take out my immediate neighbors, build infrastructure again, take out as many opponents as possible without triggering domination (gifting cities to other AIs as needed and trying to keep at least a few cities scattered across the map), build a massive offensive force of tanks and gunships while heading for nukes, and wiping the remaining civilizations off the map in one fell swoop. At the end I may well have set myself up for this, but the World Cup, my birthday, busy weekends, and a slow playing style robbed me of time. More details to come!
