So i decided to play as russians and do a "peaceful" playthrough focused on city building research and title improvement.
So i met the first civs that started along with me on the continent. The inca and... some asian guys.
Things went well till the inca noticed i have barely any units and decided to attack... they didn't notice however that i had tons of gold stashed away AND my cities are well fortified so it ended in a bloodbath for them and a swift counterattack that ended in their genocide.
This however caused the asians and newly discovered germans turn vary of me thinking i'm a "warmongering menace" so i decided to eliminate them before i meet other nations.
This didn't work out as well since it took so long i was discovered by egyptians whom quickly turned from freindly to guarded after the constant torrent of denoucements from germans and asians so i had to slaughter them as well once i finished with the germans.
That didn't goo with plan because by that time i was discovered by the french aztecs and babylonians who got their views of me marred by the denouncements made by egypt before i could shut them up with artillery shells... making me the last civ on the continent abd pretty much hated by everyone... with the exeption of danes whom i quickly started a defensive pack to have reason to bash the aztecs skulls in... altho currently i'm only half invested limiting myself to a carrier anchored near the shore just sending wave after wave of fighters at aztec pikemen making hteir trek towards Danish cities.
