Random large map, Random leader gave me Carthage. Set me up for a trade/diplomacy/espionage type game I *think* the script is multiple continents, but cannot be sure. First solid border between myself and Babylon was mostly determined by a mountain block, only could get round the edges.

Scenes from today's Hike. Happy New Year folks.

3rd go round with Kush in Old World. This one was a loss, as Rome hit the magic number (65) before me. I was on 61, with 4 VPs going to score within the next 4 turns. Never triggered a meeting event for Persia (red)

Random map - Hard Wood Forest Random leader - Cyrus/Persia The Strong difficulty. Points win. Apologies, I can't alter the Egyptian Orange which is super close to Persian red when over forests. Good expansion versus the tribes, using Cyrus and other generals to make a difference.

Double Victory (Had double the VPs of the #2 spot, guess this is easier in a dual) Used Hatti's unique fun power of any unit can chop trees to go scorched earth around places Assyria was trying to settle. No forests, or even scrub left for them. Starve them of wood. Quick win (77 turns)

#OldWorld Large World Random map script gave me Bay Random Nation gave me Hatti Win by 4 VP over Kush, but was sat just 1 achievement away from that type of victory. Kush was the main rival and we had one long war with no city taken.

Egypt simply just ahead of me and I never got caught up. One major war fought in the middle, rather depleted my forces, which meant a slower than hoped for campaign against the tribes.

Map of known world in a game of Old World. Greece (blue - me) starts in the Center/East. Persia (red) starts is the South West Kush (yellow) starts in the North West

Rome in Old World. Single Player Islands Random map. "The Strong" level (one above "The Good" I have been playing on. Simple outcome, everyone was so settled on their islands (except Persia who jumped over) that it was almost impossible to force a bridgehead. Never playing this map style again

This was a fun one of #OldWorld Random nation Assyria - not a huge fan of them, especially their unique units but that was the hand dealt. Lakes and Inland Seas map. The "border boost" technology card came late for me an the effect is very obvious with so many cities

The acting head of the DOJ is on television claiming that a federal investigation into a president "should never happen." That isn't law and order—that is demanding complete immunity from accountability. No one is supposed to be above the law.
