Old World random large map - Coastal Random nation - Babylon The Strong difficulty Took the loss here. Rome was well ahead in VPs, but 3 leaders in the space of about 10 years left me with too many unexpected legacy ambitions to try top win that way.

#OldWorld on a rainy day. Random everything except size (large) nations (6) and difficulty (the Good). Solid jump out of the gate and worked hard to keep people mostly peaceful, including trading a newly settled city to Babylon for a Peace treaty.
4th game as Kush, and did much better. Much more aggressive in grabbing the tribal lands, and got a comfortable start. Hatti came at me (bro!) and got defeated in detail in their mobile forces, and the one city I captured was going to be only the start. I had a 20VP lead so just needed to play safe
Went for a bike ride today with my son rather than a hike. So here is a small waterfall from yesterday
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)
2nd game as Kush, chose a different leader this time. Going to cycle through them (started with the 5th and did the 4th, so I guess reverse order) Minor early war with Persia, mostly as I settled that Southern city. Another more major war just as the game was ending.
Another Old World Game Kush - Large Random Map (Archipelago) Carthage got a VP win just before I got an Ambitions win. Their war with Persia went faster than mine with Greece.
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.

Open competition for power in our politics has its downside. We need some countervailing institutions to slow the rise of psychopaths to the top and to focus democracy on what kind of future we want rather than on which memes can be got to fly.
