	Weird stuff you did in Conquests Increase the size of your Attachments

I'm wondering what things you do to milk the fun from a scenario by taking it to it's limit?

I've tried two things so far:

1) In the Age of Exploration scenario, I was bringing home units carrying treasures and kept them outside my capital until the last turn when I finally sent them home. That way, I got over 100 000 points instead of the 35 000 that triggers victory.

2) In the Middle Ages scenario, I conquered England playing the Swedes, and found a relic that I picked up. I then sailed all the way to Jerusalem, conquered it and won (I've never been able to win as a tribe that is SUPPOSED to win by capturing Jerusalem).

In the Middle Ages as the Swedes, I conquered all of the _coastal_ cities in N. Europe. Very little penetration inland except for England and Finnland. The amphibious attacks of a Berserk army were most enjoyable.

yeah berserks own!

I myself pillaged every coastal town I met and destroyed almost all of great britain

also brought the holy grail to jerusalem and had a big war with the swedes which made me enough points to win...

I wouldn't consider that as particularly weird, as that is close to what actually happened in real history. Well, not Swedish Vikings doing all of that perhaps, but the Viking nations combined. Did you win?

I'm asking more for things like players invading Japan playing China in WW2 or settling all Africa playing the Inca in Age of Exploration.

Well, technically I didn't do this, but it's still weird: I lost the WW2 scenario playing as America, the turn after I conquered Tokyo and Kyoto. Apparently, the Japanese had been eating the Chinese faster than I was eating the Japanese. The turn after I entered Kyoto I got the message that the Japanese destroyed the Chinese and then they scored enough victory points to win.

Yep, I won. I had a lot of fun trying to figure things out. I rush built a palace near London, then didn't have harbors to export resources to my true home base of Sweden. By the time I got harbors, I'd lost out on the Krak de Chev wonder. The increased production in London didn't help in my victory over the Poles but did facilitate against Germans and Franks.

Currently playing the Fall of Rome Scenario as the Ostrogoths - does that count?

I don't know why, but I always wanted to be an Ostrogoth.

I want to play the Dutch in the WW2 scenario. haven't done it yet, not sure if you can.

one thing I still want to do is play the weakest faction-err I mean nation in each of the scenarios and try to beat the scenario with them. I may have to drop a difficulty level to do this though.

Talking about weakest nations, I once captured Brest as the Incas in Age of Discovery. It was some way before the end too. But I was playing on Monarch.

How are the Incans weak?

Unlike other Mesoamericans, you don't have to worry as much about Europeans trying to start a war and succesfully fight it with you.

Since corrupt is almost gone on close cities, you can easily colonize most of south america and have a corruption clean empire.

I played the Incans and dominated on Monarch level too. The Europeans arn't that great once you have caught up to their epoch, because most of them have about 4 core cities that are jumbled together with about 2 or 1 tiles seperating them.

Catching up to them is pretty easy, considering how willingly they are going to trade you a tech just to fill their gold store.

I once had control of Portugal, Spain, Mayans, and the Aztec capitol (stopping because their other cities were too lame to waste units trying to get).

Yes, you can but it takes me more time than it normally does with the Maya and Aztecs. I think I might have had almost all of Central and South America in that game.

It's basically because The Inca start off with the worst terrain and further away from any targets. I know the Maya have much less room to expand, have fairly bad terrain, don't get as much gold from map-trading and are very vulnerable to amphibious assaults. It's just that they start slightly faster and have the opportunity to take out the Aztecs. If they can do that, they'll be a long way ahead of any Incan option I've tried.

I was unable to trade for any of their good techs . they wanted more than I had to give them.

I'm sure I meant to say something there. But I can't remember what I meant to post. So I guess I have nothing to add to that post

now I see it. The part I added is in the quoted section.

it's the last line.

I stated:
