I puppeted Sparta until I got my happiness back up and then annexed it. The great thing about taking a city in a peace treaty is the city stays intact (sacked cities lose half their population and some buildings) and there’s no diplomatic warmonger penalty. I got his second biggest city, Sparta, from it. Nevertheless, it’d be a lot of work so I asked about peace. It may have taken a while but I would’ve eventually taken a city. Still, I was able to produce replacements. I didn’t build enough melee so he’d have horses come from nowhere and decimate my archers. With my forces in good shape I pushed on a counter-invasion. They were sending mounted units against Pikemen, their weakness. Once again I repelled their advance with relative ease. Their military was in pieces after the first war but they built it back up. That was nice as I had low happiness at the time. I asked about peace and not only got it but they gave me all their luxury resources. I considered pushing into Greece but they still had some units around and I had no siege units. I got my units over there, including a squad of archers, and beat back the invaders with few casualties. Problem is AI isn’t that great at war and my city had some decent defensive terrain with hills and the like. So they got cocky and declared war on me and invaded my most southern city. I had a decent military early on but Greece had a much bigger one. I got four cities going and Greece started getting mad. In the early exploration I met Civ after Civ and was thinking, “Geez, is everyone just in one place?” I was slower getting Settlers out than I should’ve been. I shared a continent with four other Civs, including the expansionist Greece. I decided to try a wide game so I took the Liberty social tree and built some early Settlers. And I was done warring by the time I got one. Gets +1 Sight, +1 Move, and an extra bonus when flanking. But why do Coffee Houses boost Production? I guess because people drink a bunch of coffee and pull all-nighters? Still, I built these in every city for a Production boost. Provides the city a 5% Production bonus instead of the Windmill’s 10% only to Buildings. Unique Building (Coffee House) – Replaces the Windmill. Then by the time I had money I was getting some nice bonuses from my CS allies and figured I was at a nice spot with my cities. I might have used it in the early and mid game but I had no money. Unique Ability (Diplomatic Marriage) – If you have been allies with a City-State for at least 5 turns you can pay money and annex the CS. I set myself to random and ended up with… With a couple multiplayer Civ5 games going and reading some interesting stuff on the game I was getting to a Civ5 high.
