I didn't have time to finish up the page, just started it, but I did write full report. Link:

Summary, I chose Great Eng and win Domination at 1595ad.

Yeah, Engineer for Pyramids was the power play. Looks like you turned it into a victory pretty quickly. Well done. We typically don't make much of the in-game score, but 193000 certainly catches the eye and says you did something right.

Well done report too. It's a pleasure to read a well-written narrative with a good layout and screenshots cropped to relevancy.

Well done (oh yeah, cropping screenshots, I should do that sometimes...)

Trebuchets, especially with Accuracy promotions are far better then Catapults.

Actually you have it backwards for bombardment, without accuracy Trebs are more hammer-efficient for bombardment, while with accuracy cats are (very slightly) better. And cats are still useful in attacking cities; that +100% treb ability doesn't apply to collateral, so in any case cats are far more efficient at suicide barrages. Of course trebs have much better chances of surviving their attacks (or, in worse situations, inflicting damage on a very strong top defender), but cats are far from obsolete.

That's why I should not have gotten lazy past 1000AD. The difference was a century or 2.

Thanks for support .

@timmy: you are right about that, I guess it would be best to mix Trebs and Catas, but there comes that lazy part. I found easier just to use Trebs : - ) .

@sylvanllewelyn: I hate that, I did switch early to Quick Moves, Quick Combat options and kept Workers in stacks.. I stacked everything I could actually, I even used that emphasize button (prod, food, commerce) at city governor. That helped me a lot about that lazy part, I only spent 10hours playing this game.
