Civilization 4: CoTHnian Empire [Playthrough]

[Nymus]

Hello, CoTH! After looking at those fine, fine threads on Apolyton and CivFanatics detailing playthroughs on varying levels of difficulty, I decided to bring one to CoTH! This'll be on a difficulty I haven't played, on a random map, with the CoTHaria Empire, led by Genghis Appleflow, AKA the Incan Empire with Huanya Capac.

Here we go!

What we'll be playing as. Ain't that guy the sexiest beast you've ever seen?

Spoiler:

I'm actually playing on Noble, I took this picture when I was debating whether I wanted my ass kicked THAT much or not as much.

Spoiler:

Oh lord, this does not look like a good starting point. Gotta make do with what I got, though!

Spoiler:

The city of Nub Central is established. Excelsior, CoTHnia!

Spoiler:

In the thread, give me suggestions for city names!

Looks like we aren't stuck on a tiny island after all. Woo!

Spoiler:

Founded Buddhism, this'll help a lot with Happiness problems, and might even give me an ally.

Spoiler:

... Unfortunately, I wasn't able to grab Hinduism either.

Spoiler:

Military garrison made in Nub Central, time to expand a lil' bit!

Spoiler:

Mainland, finally! (At least I hope it's mainland.)

Spoiler:

... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

... This was over too quick. I need a rematch. Damn barb stacks.

Well, here's how it went.

I see your lands, Monty. I want them.

Spoiler:

Which is why I'll build a Barracks, and make a Quecha horde to take it!

Spoiler:

The future site for Appleflowia, founded later.

Spoiler:

Changing production to Pyramids to get Representation (overpowered)

Spoiler:

The Known World (circa. 2240 BC)

Spoiler:

Met Frederick the Great of Germany, who just so happens to be worst enemy of Monty. Could a friendship blossom? :3

Spoiler:

Met William of... Dutchland?

Spoiler:

Extra food, woo.

Spoiler:

Expanding our map south, gotta hope for some delicious tribe huts.

Spoiler:

oh f-

Spoiler:

This is why I play with Barbarians OFF. > : (

What modpack were you using?

I swear by Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn.

I (was) using Next War modification, and I'm considering doing a replay with the Cavemen 2 Cosmos mod, if I can figure out how to install it.
