INITIATING NORMALNESS.
Yeah, so back to normal. In tzar, I was playing a really fun map, which was great for campaign style play (playing on a random map, but like in campaign style. It's really fun). The balance of power was luckily enough for me not screwed over. Anyhow, I won the game after about 10 hours total. I've got the game documented in seven save files. Why? Well, it was one of the hardest and one of the best games I've ever played before, that's why. I had to use a lot of skill to rise up from a tiny group of villagers sailing away in a ship across the vast sea to a tiny refuge, sailing away from their old village which was filled with invaders and being turned to rubble. Not long after I abandoned my colonization campaign in a neighbor's land mass, the enemy took the offensive to my peninsula. I had nowhere near the strength to repel them. My southern front was occupied by he orange, who were coming from the main part of the continent. I could only run to a tiny island, in a little ship, clear across the map. It had one mine (this is not much) and some wood. From here, I managed to raise a town, and eventaully was able to patrol my shores. As soon as I saw the need for new resources, I decided to land on the mainland little ways south of me. Huge wars were being waged there. I had been involved in none of them for a long time. This was the beginning of the turn around. I defeated purple and converted several of their buildings. I defeated them I know not how, but i suspect it was because they were facing another enemy at the same time, yellow. Yellow was the most powerful nation on the map. I ran into them immediately after occupying the purple. I rushed to gather the much needed supplies. I managed to hold the northern conitinent. I researched their techs (they were a different civ(purple)) and trained an elite group of longbowmen. I used them and several, several offensives (I must have used over 2000 soldiers alone to defeat yellow) to finally push south and defeat my adversary. I had become a major world power with this victory. I converted their buildigns too. Green had been killed by orange and yellow. So, that left orange, which was on the other side of the continent, near my original base. A sea mostly separated the left side of the continent from the right side, but there was a small pass to the south. I fortified this after driving back, very slowly, with a group of dragons, a huge, massive line of orange troops that would come constantly. I finally made preparations to attack orange. It was a success. By now, my army no longer consisted of mostly men. The vast majority was made of stone golems and dragons. I ripped the city to pieces. Then, there was one player left. Red. How ironic, that the player who destroyed me in the beginning, would be destroyed by me in the end. I sailed in, and, I'll admit, it was hard to gain ground. But, it had been hard to the whole game. Eventually, I took the area I originally wanted to colonize, and then I took the other half of the island.
