I started off with great excitement despite playing two difficulty levels above my usual skill level in solo games. I had a decent understanding of advanced start and made what I considered alright founding locations. But then plans failed... or should I say, I failed for lack of plans.
I really appreciate having attempted to play simply because it taught me a lot about the areas in my gameplay that I need to improve on. I did not have a clear plan for what I wanted to do, and played somewhat haphazardly.
Never actually got the chance to finish. I got into a number of wars with Monty that kept bogging down. War weariness was killing me so I coudln't push as far s I wanted.
The Indians were my only ally and unlike Lee's game, they turned out to be pretty pathetic and unhelpful. Louis dominated the wonders and techs despite his isolated starting location.
Retrospectively, I needed to be more determined in my war with Monty sooner, I should have dropped Asoka and made nice with Peter/Louis who shared religion.
Sorry for no pictures. I had a few but forgot to bring them from home today. Perhaps I will edit them in later.
Thanks for a great game, despite not finishing!
