Civ 5 in 5 Minutes

Part 1: http://youtu.be/jTKfuwWtqSM

Catherine continues to claim her Greatness against the evil Siamese Empire led by the ruthless Ramkhamhaeng. Both are technological powerhouses, since it's the future, and neither Siam nor Russia show any sign of slowing down the military madness - mostly because the only victory type is Domination. The Giant Death Robots are the stars of the Russian militia while Siam depends on everything except the units that require Uranium - since he has none! What will happen next?

Screenshots are pillaged and this is real-time action. Deity difficulty and no cheat mods, I promise! This is real-life Civilization V action. In order to keep things speedy, Catherine begins in the future. Don't want to spoil it but I can say the initial army does its best to find required resources that will bring Russia good luck. 

Things are different but also the same - it is Civ 5 in 5 Mins evolved.

Disclaimer: OP Human Players mod is active - it's what Wu would've wanted. There is one chunk of land up for grabs and China has her eye set on taking it all. The enemies basically have little to no chance as long as Wu plays her cards right - and she does! The Chu Ko Nu are able to shoot twice at those who dare threaten the Chinese empire. The lands will become emerald while other colours are slowly removed from the map! There's also the Paper Maker - China's unique Library replacement, which grants a bit of gold along with the beakers - yay Science!

Who will teach us the Art of War? Wu will - her icon is a dragon! Who doesn’t love dragons? Immortal difficulty…

Built Beijing and the OP mod is in play

Meaning China gets bonuses - so let’s go Honor

But a struggle for happiness exists

You can encase Egypt with a bit of gold

It’s good to keep wild Egypts under control

Can’t have ‘em get too many wonders

Beijing grabs a Terracotta Army and Thebes gets nothing

Then Thebes gets invaded

The violence won’t penetrate green borders

Scratch that - more war arrives

Sorta at war with a few folks

Having a huge army means Austria sends a city our way

Certain wonders would help the happiness situation

Fast-forwarded to a less-depressing time!

At this point we’re angry at Theodora - don’t ask what she did

She gave up a village, that’s what

Then Ramesses was all angry

As if we chose the warlike ways - this is just how different coloured territories deal with each other 

Now upgrade to the Chu-Ko-Nu for full intimidation factor - 3, 2, 1

Suddenly we scarier!

All the leaders hate each other

It’s sad really - should we take Thebes or not?

It’s not hard to get their health down

In fact - they didn’t make it - sorry man!

720 AD: the farms are sandy

And the eradication of Egypt made the Austrians upset

And Theodora got even madder!

Kamehameha is displeased with diplomacy and voting issues

Wu commanded us to settle the shiniest city ever seen

It has a Mosque

…and a Monastery - that’s about it

Monuments go up all around

Basically will be claiming the whole island for China

The Christmas Colours war was fierce and fatal

There is little to do but fight the foreigners

Well, that and settle everywhere

This one must work for its Monument

Work little city, work

Ignore the war crimes up north and focus on lil Chengdu

It’s the city on a hill that could

Visit the field of cows

Hey Austria - let’s end the bickering

That monument is almost done!

The Green grass grows

Tons of workers show up to Vienna to fix the tiles

Austria did a great job of preparing this little bit of China for Wu

Here’s an instant Opera House 

It’ll feature a production based on this beautiful view of future China

It’s called “ Wu - She is a Beast”

Goodbye Trading Post

Worlds Fair - we’ll be host

Wu - she IS a beast.

1520 AD: the year of Archaeology

  The Eiffel Tower goes up

It’s a cash cow

Biologically-inclined in a few turns from now

If there’s not enough Oil - we’ll have to go find foreign Oil

It’s nice to know the south is ours

Morale is high since Order arrived - which is good because we have to deal with

War with Polynesia

War with Austria

and War with Byzantium

Long-ranged combat removes the threat that was Samoa

A dude on a horse tips the scale

The rest of the world doesn’t know the Chinese can summon dragons

And killing a soldier will only spawn two more in its place!

That’d be a fun mod

So the beautiful land has been ravaged - but Faith keeps going

An ex-Austrian worker chops down a Forest amid chaos

A Polynesian Cannon is removed from existence 

The 1800s are a great time to visit Hawaii

Then again, given enough turns, China will visit everywhere

Wu demanded Honolulu become Honoluwu

Another star in the puppet show

Infantry begin to spread like wildfire

A slow-burning wildfire beginning in Nanjing 

The Submariners will be protected from the dragons’ flames

And the Young Pioneers will win gold stars and be able to call their parents

The Tongalese will Tonga-leave

While Theodora’s lands are violated

Thanks for the naturally-wonderful city Austria - it will burn

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah hm hmmm

Atomic Bombs will do even more damage

  There’s also art - to distract and educate

The only constant is the likelihood all will be annihilated

Both sides of the continent are claimed for, you know who - Wu!

Victory is Wu’s

There’s still work to be done - dragons to be summoned

Everyone must become green

She is no more! See ya lady!

And lastly we say goodbye to King Kamehameha and he thinks we’ll cease peace

That’s not gonna happen - moving in with Marines

And there’s a Tank

Look away to avoid being scarred for life

Civ 5 in 5 Mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr2Sl2oebqU

Alexander the Great means it’s Greece Lightnin’ - bring in the City-States!

Athens is built and there’s Copper, Ivory, and Michelangelo lives nearby

Scout or Monument, Scout or Monument?

Doesn’t matter - this is Alexander the OP mod!

We’ll just buy everything

It’s ignoring Tradition

Not at all but things will be fine

Upgrade the delicious Wheat, Banana, and Deer

I told you she was upset about those cities

Propheting from free Great People with the Liberty finisher

There is Greatness in Tithe and Holy Warriors

Monuments are easily afforded down south

The Archers keep an eye on London

An Archer crosses the borders

That Archer is quickly destroyed

Avenge the Archer!

Goodbye London

Well, hello London actually

Let Elizabeth thrive in York

Don’t want to feel guilty about wiping her off the map

Actually let’s not let the world know about our evils

Quickly get Companion Cavalry to claim York for Greece

Composite Bowmen try to overwhelm

But that Companion Cavalry takes cities a little too easily

England goes away forever - bye England

Bye York

Everywhere is Greece now!

The Greatness spreads to the first City-State

Then a second!

Here comes Guilds, we’re happy and not losing!

This continent has one belief system

Now, while Greece grows there’s stuff you should know

We will destroy the others indirectly through City-State warfare

All City-States will be provided with military units

And Egypt arrives - sorry about the inevitable

Units won’t fight for Greece 

The Citizens experience temporary motivation

Hiawatha brings another target

Egypt’s demise began 

And Hiawatha was dragged into it

But both were kind enough to give up some space

I’ll take it!

And again - don’t worry, this is just the early game

Gotta make sure the homeland doesn’t suffer

Went back to war with Egypt so that the City-States would fight ‘em

And war more or less exists for the rest of the game

But we are transfering units to City-States where they’ll fight for new commanders

This Rifleman goes to Somalia

Other units find themselves in Latvia

Vatican city takes some Crossbowmen and knows how to use ‘em

They are adept at razing their conquests!

Units are purchased each turn and sent over to City-States

It’s good to know there is no peace for the other continents

Of course I do! Goodbye boat

Also saying goodbye to Patronage - it’s done!

Goodbye Rifleman! 

There’s problems in the Latvian City-State

We’ll create a situation up north - yay two-front war!

Great War Infantry are distributed around the world

Freedom means a Foreign Legion - they’ll all be shipped to foreign lands

Trying to flood the City-States with units

They can handle the dirty-work

It’s a viable strategy

Going to Settle down south of the eastern landmass

This place is strictly for unit distribution

It’s quite efficient

Instant Gifting is better than waiting for them to travel

The Great War Infantry travel well

This could be successful

Sing a song about the effectiveness of sharing

Go - become purple with pride

It seems like a lot of money - but no

We’re makin’ enough gold to survive

Got Lancers from faith

Same with Great Generals

But none of the military stick around for long

They get new uniforms and attack the AI

It’s indirect warfare at it’s best

Great Generals claimed some land - mostly an investment for the future

Also gifting Paratroopers

Something kept the others from competing at the International Games

I wonder what it was - I also wonder where that city went

Seems our cities are doing a good job at being amazing

Rocket Artillery are great gifts for any time of year

This deal I might take - seems like a decent amount of money

Let’s give the Egyptians a break from the madness - focus on us

Still sharing as many units as possible though 

Also finally accessing the inner-workings of London

The world is good… if your name is Alexander

If your name is Hiawatha - your stuff is on fire

Alex has all the votes

Hiawatha has lost Grand River

Actually Hiawatha lost a bit more than that

There’s a bit of Iroquois territory north of Egypt

It isn’t a peaceful place though

Word is there are XCOM units arriving at any time

They are unpredictable! 

They want the enemy to know it won’t be long until total annihilation

I don’t recommend visiting Heliopolis any time soon

Go to Greece to find the best holiday destinations

The tiles everywhere else are smokey and dangerous

It’s kinda nice up here near that Landmark - let’s visit it!

Whoosh

Thud

Workers works and traders trade

Fighters fight but while dressed in a different blue

There are Giant Death Robots available to those who require ‘em

Which is everybody really

The GDRs can RSVP to the party

Ramsesses has offered up a location to launch nukes from

…take it!

Bring in a few bombs

Then send them out into Egypt

It makes for an easier invasion

Friendly-fire is real and horrible

We need art, now more than ever

Like tons of art - it’ll lead to victory

Art inspires us to take Thebes

Alexander the Incredible

Got all the numbers

Best spot on top

Civ 5 in 5 Mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qAaVaHhpOk

And we’re back… let’s attempt some aggression as the Danes - Archipeli-Denmark - there will be lots of WAR - with Germany - and Kurt Wagner - and Iron Man - and Butters 

Harald has two mountains to the south

What a wonderful world

Building a Monument because a Scout won’t go far

Our Warrior’s name is Xena

He’s a dude though

Soon there’ll be more food

Copper and Bananas aplenty

Gonna go on a boat

The boat boats away

Making another boat

Now it’s time for a Temple of Artemis attempt

#OneMoreTurn to complete

Sorta Settling too late

An eastern town exists

As does war between Denmark and Germany

Why? Because Munich. 

Need a bit more time to get ready

But then we’re movin’ in!

And it’ll be a success next time

‘Cause there’s a Great Wall

Everyone moves down to attack the tile

Slowly the Germans succumb to the violence

Could puppet but I think razing is a better idea

Ya - razing… still want the land though

So we sent a Settler down south

And happiness isn’t being managed - people are going berserk

There’s a lot of space to traverse before we can attack the Brazilians

Maybe we’ll be friends for a bit

Also Taoist

An army sneaks in, and a pathetic navy

Almost thought this would work

There should have been more military 

It seems Salvador has no trouble keeping itself secure

Back in Denmark, there’s a new Grand Temple, in Spanish that’s Temple Grande

Kaupang has a Cargo Ship

We’re number 6 for Smiles

Just 2 unhappiness though - that’s good for us

War comes from Brazil! Ahhh

Gonna need to submerge

Can’t lose a city to Pedro - so sell it to Venice

Come on man, offer stuff!

Please?

I got him down to 7 gold, come on lucky number 7

He took 6 - anyway we happy now

And Brazil friendly now

Generally feeling musical and in harmony

Kinda wish there was less Venice though

Gonna get a Broadcast Tower and tell the world

Also ordered in some Order to deal with the lack of smiles

Life is better now - that we’re guarded by a navy of Submarines

Rome is Friendly and wants to kill Enrico - but I couldn’t do it

Then I wanted to do it a few turns later and he declined

So life was devoted to enjoying the peace

Schools went up and the French didn’t attack or anything

Seems we’re intimidating enough

Could’ve used that Hermitage a few turns ago - it’s 1954, like 200 years late

The square empire is mighty in it’s math

Brazil is the only one with power tools or something

They think they’re so cool with their Roman acquisition

Meanwhile we’re being intimidated by Bismarck

Stay back Bismarck, stay back!

Gonna need some Satellites and a Hubble before war 

Come on Uranium, gotta get a new set of glassware

I’m wearing the jeans? Uh oh - must reverse the trend

Rome has denounced Brazil and we’re just sitting here making subs

I actually like the square view better

But focus should be on the grand opening of Oxford’s Danish campus

Pre-free-Internet we are both Popular and Exotic

Post-free-Internet - ya, not much changed

But this foolish man gave up Uranium

And IGNORE THE LOSS

Hey look - a Hospital! and Brazil took Venice

The French wear OUR jeans! Lookin’ fine Mr. France

Now we avenge Venice!

The military gets mightier

But Brazil did some nuking

So we avenged ourselves!

Should’ve built a Bomb Shelter

Should always Plunder Trade Routes

As well as any aquatic improvements

Investing in that Bomb Shelter before we’re blown-up again

I’m pretty sure it’ll re-occur

There’s all sorts of attacks with each click of the button

The waves are our friend!

There’s some extra Science - we’re saved

It’ll zip us to Nanotech, right?

Goodbye Helicopter Gunship!

Hello unattainable Uranium

If only we could enrich the fallout

Finally he’s alright with not destroying Denmark

Now it’s a rebuild year

Gonna need Trade and stuff

Stuff being Pedro’s Uranium

Making XCOM squads and Atomic Bombs

Also attacking Germany because I’ve had enough of Germany

The plan: pillage everything to send a message

Whoosh

The new plan: don’t let the Germans invade us

And pillage all their tiles

Over here is basically a barbecue

All of Germany is under siege

Ja

Wha? You barely exist as a Civ right now Auggie

How rude - we’re invading

There’s still too much Rome on this map

Remember when he wanted me to go to war, then I didn’t, then I wanted to, and he didn’t… like come on

Gonna remove Rome and see how the world reacts

Attacks from land and air work together

This is getting depressing again 

Goodbye Mr The Terrible!

Now - who to target next? Let’s see who disagrees with our way of life

My oh my - nothing but Friends - so who am I to attack ‘em? See ya later!

Set sail with captain Harald Bluetooth and head into the sunset while fighting off the enemy navy, army, and air forces of the future. The early days of Denmark are rich with history. The constant threat of invasion from the high seas leaves little to do but train and manage a military worthy of world conquest! It's so much easier to type that than to actually do it - even when you have Norwegian Ski Infantry! There's no OP Human Players mod to help us out, so Harald is left to his own devices (mostly aquatic in nature) in order to face threats of defeat.

Reach for the good stuff, Maya! And add the OP human players mod in hopes of preventing other Civs from getting the top-spot. 

Historically, the Maya was a "tall" empire - several concentrated areas of population made-up the civilizations boundaries and at no point did they try to take over the entire planet - that changes in this game, where Pacal stops at nothing to ensure all viable land is claimed. The Mayan civ ensures all cities can have a Pyramid, and remember, once Theology is researched, free Great People appear every 394 years - Great People mean great other stuff!

OP Human Players mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=346859417

Civ 5 in 5 Mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjCCFJyr2kM

So maybe use that OP mod and maybe be the Maya

This looks rivery and mountainish! 

Land built for victory 

Hey it’s Queen Carthage - good, I have jeans ready for her if necessary

Surely we’ll be great friends in this land of bounty

Gonna claim some bounty

Also we’ll make Pyramidal tracks

On top of one of the pyramids will be a Temple of Artemis

Just 21 turns to go - need more Citizens

Take a look at Tikal - it’s not too far a trek north

Try to avoid angering the folks from Carthage but what can ya do?

The tiles were too good to be true

Also may have ended up with a town on the other side of the landmass

Then the Assyrians attacked!

The Scout army will safe us

Sorta unprepared for war right now

Thought we’d use a religious offensive and offend people with our religion

Even took Theology for free - Theology! 

We can pray under the Water Mill

Enhancements are enjoyed

The war stays cold but in the future, virtual blood dyes the river red

But that’s later! Now Hang the Gardens

Blah blah blah - you aren’t the best neighbour either, lady

Seriously she keeps getting mad at my wide gameplay - how rude

We’re going wide all over this bit of land out on the water

And there may have been some Citadel action

Stolen Wine tastes wine-ier

If anyone enters the vineyards, they’ll be shot

Sprawling but crawling - need more stuff

Maybe more cities over on the island will help

That, and Workshops

And Stoneworks

Anyway - there’s still an Unmet Player - an isolationist

Carthage complains - what else is new?

I’d be mad too if I missed out on a great Great Wall

I’ll have you know the Maya deserve any and all tiles

Astronomy means we can figure out who else exists

He wants to know our business - my business is modifying leader screens

The attack on the Netherlanders will come from here

If William wants revenge he can come get it

The Mayan empire will be unsinkable

Long Story Short: the Venetians and Dutch could quarrel

Archaeologists aplenty and Electricity will reveal more resources

And William says “Hey, those sailors look angry”

Which they are - so he was right about that

Too bad he can’t defend himself, eh?

He gives up a whole lot of Holland - I say ya

Enrico’s worried now - not sure why

We don’t have the resources to take Venice just yet

One-tile water-access is annoying

Well not that annoying

It feels good to know Enrico lives on that other land with the Netherlands

Slowly encroaching on Carthage makes for more points

As does building an Eiffel Tower - bonjour

A thousand extra hammers means William had no chance

Another Citadel ruins the mood

But the encroaching is more important than ever

Surround Carthage town

Crush their grapes!

Puppet the aforementioned town and gain 200 bucks

Seems Culture was overwhelming - ONE MORE TURN

I said ONE MORE TURN not more numbers

The Netherlands are desirable

Need all the lands

Need some Northern-lands next

Cooperation led to the demise of Carthage

And all this before Flight was researched 

Assyria doesn’t realize we are the victors and thus shall get spoiled

Then again, maybe the Assyrians do know what’s up

Too bad a ceasefire is out of the question!

Pythagoras put a lot of work into this list

Pacal put a lot of work into taking all the cities

Things were going great then got greater with Great War Bombers

It’s clear, eh? Is that what your keen eyes behold?

Looking around all I see is Mayan territory

And if you look hard enough there’s a Great Scientist

And some Infantry 

The Acquisition of Cinnamon and other Spices is celebrated worldwide

Also celebrating the removal of all other Civs from the landmass

Sprawling empires usually have a sordid past

Gonna claim these tiles for Pacal then wreak havoc on the west

Also going to remove this Arctic settlement

A Great Artist adds to the Golden Age

Make that Artists

And over here you’ll see the military has readied itself for Operation End Game

See ya later, Venice

It’d be funny if he jumped over the rail into the water

That was unexpected

The cloud over Amsterdam is fitting

Amsterdam waits for the inevitable 

Terror falls from the sky

The red flag signals victory!

The numbers grew!

All hail that guy!

It ain’t over yet!

There’s still some Netherlands to the North

Burn ‘er down!

Uh oh - we don’t wanna see this

But we DO want to see everyone at the next International Games

Now… enjoy the AI-less existence

It’s a bit lonely - I miss Enrico

Not really - there’s something about Gold production

That makes everything worth while - I love Gold! 

It’s gold, it’s gold, it’s gold, it’s gold. It’s solid gold, baby.

Civ 5 in 3 Mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2kPXumcJ-I

Korea - no gimmicks except the gimmick that is Korea - that is, there aren’t mods

But there are Sheep

Too bad the Deer provide a better settlement

There’s a raging river one-tile long between the mountain and coast

It means a Water Mill later

Just gotta get some Great stuff first

A Great Library would help out the quest for knowledge

One turn left - hold your breath!

Woo hoo!

Gotta gamble with Artemis’s Temple too

Wonders give tech boosts, tech boosts give wonders!

Lost the Great Lighthouse but moved onto a Mausoleum

Mausoleum complete, so Settling 

Northward bound, lil Settler

Almost got two towns! Zoom-in to check out the faithful Quarries

And there just might be a Great Wall

Woo hoo squared! Circled?

Bonjour oui oui, actually it looks like a bad day - foggy and cold

Cold like the peaks of Machu Picchu

Told like the profs at the National College

And holy church - it’s Notre Dame

Gonna need to “inquise”

Inquise: to keep enemy Missionaries at bay

It’s a bit of religious bullying before the battling

Oxford University gets tenure

Seriously Scientific these days 

Hiawatha is number 1! That makes him… enemy number 3

This lady rocks Korean clothes and she wanted me to mention she’s been doing butt-robics

Yes Maria, we get it - moving on

…to war with the French - omelette du fromage!

And we’ll do some Submarine warfare

Seems Seoul is being targeted - luckily the cities are strong

So strong it keeps France from fighting for a bit

Enough time to build a Castle of Happiness for Castles

The Scout does not expect a warm welcome

Errr 

Which is probably for the better since it’s the brink of nuclear war

The Hubble Space Telescope signals the beginning of the end

Much like the Pyramids

Hmm - I’m gonna “One More Turn” this because things were too calm

But first, numbers!

And listed as Lincoln

The pre-war arrangements involved finishing the Internet so the citizens can be distracted by cat videos

Then nuke the Portuguese

To destroy them, use Destroyers

Also beware the French

I’m thinkin’ Hiawatha won’t stick around these tiles too long

Capturing cities is cathartic

But it’s sad to see them suffer

Luckily Lyon comes from a ceasefire!

What a great area to launch aerial attacks from - thanks Mr. France

And a Golden Age?! Just in time for that ceasefire to cease

Only a few more turns until we head into the blue

Nuked it first - this is a warm vacation destination

Smokey though

Paris is most beautiful when it’s Korean

Since it’s a bunch of islands the bike race will now be known as the Tours de Tours

Gonna re-visit war with Maria in a second here

Pay no attention to the smokiness of Lisbon

It’s now West Korea

The North is also being claimed 

I r winner

I r not doing math

Bring on the croutons

Happy New Year? More like "BalanceGoldPrime++" - it is the word-of-the-day - and the name of the mod that changes everything you know and love about the Civ leaders.

The values are multiplied and things get complicated when certain wonders are completed (Borobudur's many Missionaries and the Hagia Sophia's plentiful Prophets come to mind, but there are more!). The difficulty is set to Deity but the AI was hand-picked to ensure the game would be a good time (read: I tried to make it easier for myself!). The other Civs get beefed-up as well, because when every Civ is OP, none are. 

Attila and his Huns get insane pasture production and nothing is quite like a tile full of Cows pumping out hammers.

Civ 5 in 5 Mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHfWndTI2zU

Disclaimer: the following game was played with the BalanceGoldPrime++ mod - meaning everything is ridiculous. Also, it was played on the toughest difficulty. 

Twas the Court of Attila, peaceful and kind

Just kidding - we discovered Pottery not Poetry

Need a worker to tend the Horse and Cow

Pastures give mad hammers

Enough production to throw a wrench in the AI’s plans

Also it’s still the holidays - so Christmas

The Great Wall will be covered in decorations

Listen Lady, Japan wants me to attack you in a few turns here so just sit tight

See! The war for Austria begins

The first wave of attacks is ideological

A violent approach is more effective

It’ll be good to rid the world of Salzburg

Seems the enemy Missionaries won’t stop believin’

Colossus gave way too many Cargo Ships

Don’t need any Cargo Ships

I chose the Great Plains so Japan would suffer

Water-based trade isn’t important this game

Ceasefire reached 

But Theo and Oda declared non-ceasefires immediately after

There are plenty of purple targets up North

Japan’s army attempted to invade our south-westernmost city

So it was sold to Austria for a few dollars - I threw in some Iron and she agreed

Hunting Prophets is surprisingly satisfying

Combat resources should really be focused on other military units

Lost out on Angkor Wat, but a Sistine Chapel causes chaotic culture

Horse Archers - yay and “neigh”!

Also yay to 10 free Great People from the Leaning Tower

A few Scientists along with some Writers and Engineers help out

Basically unstoppable if things continue this way

The Court gets a a Tower of 10 Great Scientists

Seems our technological advancement worries Theodora

Oda’s also like “how about peace?”

Hermitage will continue the culture craze

Brandenburg Gate brought a bunch of Great Generals, Broadway will raise some curtains

So many Great People 

The Great Generals expand the land

Looks like the enemy went for Exploration

Back at home, a Forbidden Palace will grant all the votes

And the Louvre will ‘mouvre’ things forward nicely

Might need to win before war

Diplomatic Victory is turned-off but our Tourism might take a Culture Win

1300 AD - Satellites are within reach

The Hubble exploded and tons of Great Scientists fell from the sky

The future is pretty soon here

Just gotta expend, mend, and defend

Pro-tip: Don’t build the Sydney Opera House unless you have 10 free policies to choose!

Had to reload to get things going-again, whoops

The World’s Fair is in honour of the Huns

Need wealth for weaponry!

Could also be used for a Space Ship

Ya, let’s build a Space Ship

Need more bits

It’s not hard to get bits in 1530 AD

We’ll launch a rocket then launch some attacks

3, 2, 1, blast off

Ya, ya, ya

Victory is ours

Caesar Salads for all

One more turn, 10 more Bombers

Follow the path of the Citadel

Train mighty planes in the capital

Remove Theodora’s chance at a future

Find more Uranium to enrich

Realize that 10 turns is just enough time to take-out Japan so why not

It seems an Atomic Bomb found itself in the lands of red and white

Guided Missiles also have been spotted falling down onto the towns

No one knows who’s behind these attacks but Attila assures them he’ll figure it out

Also he’d like to be in control of your lives

Be a Hun or be on the run

The attacks come fast

The Huns hunger for more death and destruction

“Puppet” sounds so much better than “Slave Village”

Osaka patiently waits to be overthrown

Some missiles will be thrown over to Vienna

Can’t attack Vienna until the Peace Treaty expires - boo

Guess what expired?

Mmm - orange

The Guided Missile strategy allows for minimal frustration while committing crimes against humanity

The Nuclear Missile strategy allows for one XCOM to march in and ruin everyone’s day

More victory!

So many pointses!

More Salad! Gross - I don’t like salad 

It's almost Christmas, but Santa's here now. He comes with a slight edge the A.I. might find troubling - more troubling than being put on a naughty list - elves. Elves are unique Worker replacements. Quicker than the unit they replace, the Elves will improve tiles faster than they build toys. The toys exist as unique luxuries that come from founding the first few cities, and the Workshop is upgraded to provide Happiness meaning Santa's empire can and will grow beyond the North Pole.

The North Pole led by Santa, a mod by calcul8or:

Unique Ability: 50% reduction in unhappiness from cities and citizens

Unique Unit: Elves:

Replaces the Worker - has 3 movement, and builds much more quickly than the standard worker 

Uniquie Building: Santa's Workshop:

Replaces the Workshop. +15% production, and each one provides two copies of Presents! (+6 Happiness) 

Unique Improvement: Elf House:

Can be built on Tundra or Snow tiles (making up for Santa's tundra start bias) and adds +3 Food and +1 Production.
