I made a b-line for democracy, built the statue o' liberty, then changed to fundementalist. I hoped that the great library would take care of my science and it did that buetifully as my enemies feared my power more they became closer allies giving countless advancements between themselves. The fruits of which i also enjoyed.

Just as the power graph peaked I began a 700 year war with the Zulus. Who were actually in Africa. I was at a point in the game, namely with dragoons and musketeer, where the defender behind city walls has the advantage. So to even the playing field I continually built more cavalry with about 1/3 of my empire. I also set several citys to permminatly create an equally large army of spies.

Slowly but surely my industrial stregnth told the tale in Africa and around 1800 i finally finished of the Zulus, and their North America counterparts the Greeks, with another 30 years to capture south America and austrailia i conquered the world around 1840. At one point i had 200 cavalry in three continants. Needless to say i spent all of this time in fundemenalist govt.

So in effect i conquered the world by dividing then outnumbering my enemy. I used their fortresses against them, i isolated citys throught their own fortresses and considered the loss of 1/4 of my attack force low.

Not that this is the only way to win that kind of game. I just wanted to try it. Like i said the peacefull way was never really my fav. I am always in the mood for a good old fashion rumble. Now i'm practically alone and the only ones who i want to kill are the damn advisors.
