@FineasT33 I know. ;)

@SteelyGlinter -- If you mean the game save, I'll need an email address. It's best that you send it via youtube messages instead of posting here.

[SteelyGlinter]

@FineasT33 Right. And the game?

[FineasT33]

@SteelyGlinter -- Use Fraps to capture the game footage and Windows Live Movie Maker to edit.

@FineasT33 Ok, but you'd have to teach me to film. And the quality would be fkawful, I play on a laptop.

@SteelyGlinter -- I'm always looking for ways to improve my military tactics. I would love to see how you'd fight this battle. I can send you the game save and give you the opportunity to post a video response.

@SteelyGlinter -- All of my videos are on the king difficulty. The only way to compete militarily is to maintain your units for the entire length of the game, instead of loosing them in bold or stupid moves. But I guess I tend to be overly cautious sometimes. I will definitely try to speed up my gameplay. Thanks again for your input.

@FineasT33 Playing as Japan all the time is tempting, but I know that if i do it too much I'll get too used to Bushido and forget to play without it. So, I do Gandhi 'cause I hate happiness and stuff. So I started looking up tutorials.

I didn't mean that thinking out loud. I meant, like for example when you were moving your destroyer, I think you spent about 15 secs just moving your mouse around, when there was a spot which was safe from cities and I thought was a bit obvious. :D

gj tho mate!

@FineasT33 I'm sorta new, sorta not. I've spent a fair bit time playing, but I've only recently tried anything above Prince. Just never occurred to me, lol. But I keep getting owned on King. I tend to manage to keep a bang-on average economy (normally 5-6 out of 12 on a Gigantic map), but militarily they always surpass me too early, so I have to catch up. Damn, I need more characters for the other shiz I was going to say. :/

@SteelyGlinter -- Finally, someone that's brutally honest :-) Sometimes the "thinking" is actually trying to explain my strategy to presumably new players. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're not a new player and probably have no need for a tutorial. But thanks for the comment - I'll try to work on that.
