Cheers they are a great civ. maybe not for this game but if not for that tornado and if nationalism had been earlier in the tree then who knows. 

some silly mistaken from inexperience for sure though. The military alliance with Tad being the worst probably. 

Wrong choices from first religion perhaps and screwed up my niter management as well.

Seconded, and this goes for Bruindane as well. By the end of the game you were tops in science and culture per turn despite the tornado and having been knocked down to 4 cities by Russia. Pretty marvelous, that. As I wrote in my thread it was clear you were still scrounging for whatever advantage you could right up until the end (capturing that city-state, refounding razed cities on your home continent, playing us off against each other by allying with us but selling coal to Russia) and that kind of defiance is something to be proud of smile

Not to mention your team's survival against Russia's military for turn after turn while everyone else was locked in a DoF with them and you had their full attention, which is no mean feat either!

what i would say bout china is they need land to be truly effective. Never considered that on this map.

I had no grassland for great walls really.

They did end up with a good faith economy though as well.
