Last time, we voted on a leader, and Gilgamesh won by a landslide... with a whopping 2 votes! Who would've thunk it?
Fast forward 61 turns, and we're now in 1600 BC, kicking off the classical era!

Now, the big question: do we try to take over Canberra (capital) and become the ultimate Aussie rulers, or do we befriend the locals and buddy up with their leader, John Curtin? Just a heads up, all win conditions are on, and usually, dominating takes forever. Someone's probably going to win a different way. So, the choice is yours!

I missed the Leader vote! Gilgamesh is fun, though.
If the early capital conquest is easy enough, then it might be worth it. Starting spots tend to be better than average. I always lean towards diplomacy and trade, though.

No stress! There will be other votes.
I'm sure my military units are enough to conquer Canberra. Let's see what the stackers choose. The vote is sovereign! 🤠

Maybe give it a try but don't overextend. Stay humble! lol
You could maybe also go for a favorable truce instead of conquest. Essentially, try to build a friendship by almost killing them first. Your relationship could become similar to the USA and Japan!

If the Down Under people started the new age, I would punish them since I think this means they are ahead of everyone else. I can't tell in which age they are from the picture.
Maybe a short recording of the overall situation would be better instead of screenshots? I think you could show way more details with minimal effort this way. Just make sure you show everything that might be interesting at least for a second. We can pause and read stuff on our own pace.

Making a short video is a good idea. What software do you use to do this? I could add more detail even with screanshots, but I don't want to make it too technical.

Be a conquerer! I need to get into this game, I just don't have the time to learn it. I downloaded it. Maybe if Bitcoin hits $1M :)
