The fans of this game wait in breathless anticipation for results of the climactic battles. Good luck!

Ok, let’s go. 48 viking cities and 27 mongol cites are left., and 1 more russian, fittingly named Kursk. Still some work to do, despite LaFayette’s high statistics !
1927ad. We capture the Viking city of Ghent in North China. Eck those guys got advance flight ! We also capture Aarhus between the Caspian and Arial seas and Trondheim near Balkach lake and Bergen in Central Siberia. Vikings offer cease-fire, we accept. Some sabotage against the Mongols, but non vet spies are not that efficient ... Vikings discover nuclear fission and begin to work on Manhattan : not good, but I don’t think they’ll get time to finish it.
1928ad. We capture Kerman, the Mongol capital and then spies capture Cunaxa, Salamais, Aleppo, Basra in North America and Basra in Tunisia. We caputre the viking cities of Kaupang, Venise, Hedeby, Verona, Trelleborg, all in Siberia.
1929ad. We capture the Viking cities of Toronto, Holmgard, Birka, Ribblehead, Thwaite, Cannae, Ravning Enge, Aldeigjuborg, Roskilde, Cunaxa, Pise, Capoue, and Crete in Caucasus, Siberia and Ukrain. The Mongol cities of Verona, Capua, Ormuz, Khanbalynk, Shangtu, Dublin, Samarkand are taken all in North America. That’s 20 cities in one turn !!!

I think I should leave some pieces to the other, so I stop here (what’s more it took me quite a few hours). We have 103 howitzer to play with : some awesome power to seek and destroy. And if we want, we can bribe too ! Nex player should really enjoy it !
Some micromanager whiz should sell some useless improvements, but it is not necessary. We are on the roll !!! Our main difficulty shall be finding the last opponent cities and joining them with railroads. But spies could do the trick too.

Some statistics : 34 cities takes, 0 lost !
12 units lost (some by mistake) and 194 destroyed, 126 from the vikings.
A 1/16 ratio and I could have done better. Howitzers are deadly and deadly and deadly.
And it should be easier now : our opponents are in the ropes and have no more offensive units left !
Our 3 opponents have now lost 1642 units and us 375, is it a record (can we add the English) ? The Mongols alone, for example, have lost 116 armors. Welcome to the slaughterhouse !
Here’s the saved game.

I say we declare victory.

You would stare victory in the face only to turn away at the last moment?
You would "declare" yourselves winner when enemy strongholds remain to be crushed?
Fight on, fight on I say, for the glory of your people, the amusment of your avid fans and mostly for the just conclusion of this epic among epics.
Yours
The Proff.

Smash, it is only in Civ3 that you can win by possessing more than some % of the land ! Come on, go ahead and improve your stats

Just play 2-3 turns, it should be enough

Thank you, smash.
I was fairly sure that you would be the one able to conquer the last Mongol city. Well done!
Congrats, julius.
Your statistics show that I built that 'ratio of efficiency' mainly in order to demonstrate your glory

The gigaworld is now peaceful for ever

I was able to raise around 20,000 gold by selling off improvements.I then bought cities as I found them.Once the last capitols were removed,cities went for no more than 500>600.Most much cheaper.I even conquered the barb city

Congratulations, gentlemen! Well done! A very entertaining game.

Count me in as the Junior Leader In Training on your next attempt.
