Something messed up on my turn… hopefully just temporarily… the client says its my turn, but the website says its next turn… I did play my turn but it hung up when i tried to upload it… never errored out or anything though…
ok, its lost for me. conclusion, production only matters, science not, would be nice if you finish it quickly / on other hand i think communication is really important, as mapuche was in alliance against me but he will loose anyway…and 2nd game for me in CIV multiplayer against humans, learned a lot again 
Dang this is only your second? You definitely got thrown into an uncomfortable spot, for sure! Real talk though, I was always going to be against Korea. Kongo just happened to spawn between us, and well… things happened. You and Zulu are both terrifying opponents. One would communicate with me, the other wouldn’t.
The previous Korea maintained a no-communication policy, while stockpiling military along my borders. You took over a turn or two before it looked as though they were planning to push tanks through me, and that brings us to where we are at… preservation through bloodshed
Mapuche will hold on strong! We don’t fear your science.
One minute of silence for my unit “African Corps”. Those guys were legendary heroes who had been fighting since the beginning of time. They shall be remembered. I will erect a monument in their honor. Their widows and children will receive a lifetime pension.
Goodbye, my dear soldiers. It has been a privilege to be your commander. You leave a void after you that cannot be fill.
my english is not that good as yrs, but i follow. i will send my delegate for their funeral. and we invite yr delegation to commemorate our tank corps, was no time to give name for them, yr attack was too sudden for me
ugh… i guess this means i’ll be next lol with my puny 3 cities… i couldn’t grow anywhere…
yep, thats funny thing. everybody did alliance against Korea because of science. and forgot Mesias might. my 1st intention was to take Rillithain, then perhaps Mapuche. But Mesias smell it he cut my tanks at sea. and got Mapuche to alliance telling how bad Korea is. And in general +1 generation of guns does not matter if you counter, and Mesias did it perfectly. So i had tanks but no fleet and no “meat”, he has x2 sttronger army, battleships make -3 sqaures damages, i wanted have artillery+drones, and fighters-bombers, but have no real productions to make it. Before he attacked me, wanted make rocket port-science victory +2 probably 2 nukes to slow you down Mesias with nuc submarines. but in general did not find other options to deliver them, like ICBM all over map dont remember wjich civ version it was
No matter the final result, it’s been a really interesting and enjoyable game.
When I saw previous Korea player massing heavy chariots along Mapuche’s borders, I knew he was planning to dominate his continent via tanks. Then I started to plan an amphibious invasion to prevent that. I warned Mapuche he was in risk of invasion, but I assume he already knew that could happen, so I offered him a temporary military alliance. Then you took control of Korea, and you seemed to follow what last Korea had planned, but Mapuche-Zulu alliance had been pacted already.
I like this game among other things because interesting decisions have been made. Mapuche had to make a tough decision: allying with me, with the risk of helping me become even stronger, or facing alone a huge tank rush that could have removed him from history.
However, I would have gone to war against Korea in any case, allied or alone. When I’m in games vs Korea, I always go to war with it because I know that if it’s left unchecked, it will always snowball through massive science output.
Besides, we realized you are in possession of uranium and aluminium, so the smell of nukes made us press further and faster xD
I think we all know that if you are defeated, I’ll be next threat to mankind and I’m pretty much sure Mapuche and Aztecs will ally against me xD
Alliance against you will be too little too late. i think 3 of us could have keep up against you, cause i would have focused on fleet.
And thats what i have learned= from 2 games which i lost, I lost cause I neglect the importance of fleet. Cause against frigates/Battleships there is really no counter measures except own navy. So instead of few tanks i needed subs and destroyers. then i probably would have been able to reach science victory, or maybe not cause these projects require a lot of productions. But would be more interesting and longer game than it is now
On diplomatic level I had to foreseen this and contact Mapuche for alliance.
And Rillithain, dont know what was the beginning of game, perhaps you could have taken more land by playing more aggresively?
This, for sure. While I was ransacking Kongo between turns 15-60, any attack towards me would have been devastating. I overextended myself, and just barely won that conquest. It’s also why I’m so far behind, and know there isn’t a course towards victory for me.
Yeah, navy is a very important part of your armed forces, same as in real life. At least in maps such as Fractal, Island Plates, Archipelago… Navy is the tool that allows you to project your might wherever a conflict takes place. One of the reasons why the United States are the first power in real life it’s because they understood this and became a thalassocracy as their fathers the British Empire did before.
Breaking news in Weebles Wobble world: a new power arises. Fascism has spreaded all over the Zulu Empire. A scene that worries the whole world has taken place in the Imperial Square, in Ulundi. Tens of thousands people gathered to commemorate the new regime, raising up their right arms all at once as a single body at the cry of “All hail Shaka! All hail Shaka! All hail Shaka!”.
not sure about “real life”. in general we have africa.europe.asia as a pangea. US is away and has to make some prejection. Russia/China not. WW2 if we speak about German/Russia was not a navy battle. and know when i live in Lithuania, i think our small country can only counter Russia with antitank guns/perhaps anti aircraft mobile missiles. carrier fleet is very expensive, and all world is carrying US dollar on shoulders and US millitary. So i dont agree with you about “real life”. peace 
I’m just saying that in general states that were hegemonic powers or at least important powers at the time historically, based an important part of their power in naval might. The Spanish Empire, the Ottomans, the British Empire, the Byzantine Empire, even the classical Roman Empire had a really strong navy, contrary to what a lot of people think.
Since you guys have been worthy allies in the war agains the evil Korea, I want to be honest and reveal my plans. I guess you can imagine, but I was planning a Domination Victory since the beginning of the game; no, it was already planned since I picked the Zulu, who are the ultimate war machine. This means that I’ll have to go to war with you at some point, but I didn’t want to attack you all of the sudden in honor of our alliance.
So you’re warned now. Get ready to defend your lands, for the God of War watches us from above.

Has been expected. Netherlands falling was a clear sign…
We will do what we must!
Thanks for a game.
Sadly i spoiled advance in science, ignoring military power of Zulu with ratio to mine 1/3, hope next time will do better. Good luck, and see you in other battles
