Internet was dead, so I had to be bored and do things that weren't on War Thunder or Heroes and Generals, so played Skyrim and.... Civ5.

I do say, I had quite the run. 5 Carthage cities versus 20 Russian cities, 6/7 Arabian cities, 4 Brazilian cities, 6/7/8 Hunnic cities, 5+ Indonesian cities and 2 Venice cities. I have captured 2 of the Brazillian cities, had one of my cities razed (which I replaced), and captured three Arabian cities. I'm also the highest scoring civilization, I make at least +100 gold per round with the second/third largest military (Me, Russia, and the Huns have the best military) which I can double in about 5 rounds just by buying more units.

I also have over a dozen Wonders. Great Lighthouse, the East India Company or whatever, Heroic Epic or whoeverthecrap, and a bunch of other stuff.

I took Arabia's Baghdad, and even though I was about to be overwhelmed, Baghdad cowered the crap out (maybe because I had two dozen units en route/being built) and offered two cities and 20 gold a turn in order to get peace. And the Huns (even though they nearly overwhelmed one of my annexed Brazilian cities) offered 10 gold per turn for peace.

I've also got 9 city-states as allies. Although, Baghdad is very oddly ahead of me in research. Like, I'm the guy who's pumping out the most science, and I've got artillery and Great War infantry... and he's got Infantry and Landships. Likewtf.

Arabia keeps trying to take my citystate allies and trying to convert all my cities (Their Islam or whatever, to my lovely, pearls-are-so-fucking-amazeballs religion of Shriekdietism) and I've got this bitchin' faith output of like, 80/90, so I'm just like MONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKS.

And everyone's like WE WANT YOUR FRICKIN SHRIEKDIETISM GIVE US YOUR PEARLS WE BE RLY GUD FRIENDS! CAN WE TRADE?! CAN YOU MAKE A GREAT MERCHANT?

And I'm just like *buy great merchant*
*buy MONKSMONKSMONKSMONKSMONKS*
*IIIINNNFFFLLLLUUUUEEEENNNCCCCEEEE*

My only problem is that me and Arabia are stuck in either Marshes or Jungles, which makes movement total shit, so I'm fucked. That, and my navy (like 16 Frigates and 5 Privateers throughout the world + new Subs and Ironclads coming out) are all everywhere, but the only people that are on a coast of the Great Ocean (as I call it) is me and... CITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATECITYSTATE.

But yeah I've got like 50+ happiness and 400+ culture per turn and nearly 100 faith per turn and I can buy Great Merchants with Faith, and I get over 2k gold per Great merchant, and I've got 20%+ cultural influence in all the civilization. And I'm working towards have three of the original capitals, instead of just one. 

My score is nearly like 1k, and the next highest isn't even 900.
I'm a fucking steamroller. I don't even need to have a military to stomp a big-ass invasion.
FEAR ME

Also, my internet was dead so yeah. At one point or another, I'll have my app finished.

I got IGE installed not to give myself an advantage, but to give one certain rival civ a massive advantage with all the GP improvements on their territory because the AI is so stupid that even at King difficulty I'm always 200 points ahead of the previous leading nation.


Also, i just realized BNW is what's causing the AI to be too passive, because when I switched it off i got fucked hard.
