The leader parade continues...
In 1892 I noticed that the Ottomans, whom are a settler on a boat, revolted to despotism. I don't think I ever noticed this one before.
This is the world as of 1900 AD. You can see what a monster Spain is. The red shows the remnants of the Byzantine Empire. They are only alive thanks to my massive help. The purple blob on that continent is my slow push to keep the Zulus contained, and to never be a threat to the Byzantines again. The green is the mighty Persian Empire that has taken out the Ottomans with my help, parts of the Mongols on there own, and the Zulu possessions in former Mongolia, the Romans in former Mongolia and starting to hit the Roman core with me pillaging the Romans to death. The second picture shows one of my headaches with dealing with the Zulu. I can't take them out due to having a top-five city.
I enter the Modern Ages in 1930 AD. I draw useless ecology for my free tech. I gift the Byzantines forward for them to get computers. The Russians also draw ecology. I even help out Persia, but they failed to draw fission. I still have to play about 15 more turns, if not more. I got a huge block of cash from Russia for a tech that I have been draining down for a 100% research, but it won't last through fission research.
The year is 1965 AD, and the UN is due in 1 turn. I initiate a dog pile against Persia. As you can see from below, I achieve my goal of Persia becoming #1 in population and crossing the 25% mark. I know they are my UN competition. As you can also see, I gained the 10 points for the most culture in the game.
