Baaah, damn this game
Got work in 6 hours and was going to bed since about 3 hours ago!
Still in my first "round" with mighty Persia
Just conquered Germany, it was a blast. German landknechts and longsword men tried to stop my advance but Persian Spitfire's and B52 bombers did a good job and later Persian paratroopers and infantry moved in, starting with Munich.
I really like the AI in CIV5 compared to the previous CIV games
After a bit into the war with Germany Bismarck actually understood that he could not win the war in a straight fight and pulled back and tried to slow down my advance so he could negotiate a cease-fire.
So, the year is 1969. The Persian empire is the greatest and now there's only Askia left on his continent.
He's not stronger then me but he'll put up a fight
Here's my general (think it was Akbar) and my invasion fleet, the year is 1925 and for 1 - 2 years now the Germans has stopped my previous invasions (mainly due to too small armies from my part)
Besides, am I the only one to miss this?
