With Alexander on his way to non-existence, there are only two civilizations that could threaten Persia's conquest victory - England (Science) and China (Culture). The former will happen sooner, so they have to be dealt with first.
0304. Different from the AI, the human brain can process multiple missions! A team of Persian soldiers have arrived at a little gap of English territory. Here, a command center will be established.
0305. Just before war declaration, Elizabeth was bribed to declare war on little City States.
0307. War declaration sold to Egypt!
0310. The Persian Tank, which only has 1 HP, killed three Greek Artilleries in a row! Therefore, not all battles result in the loss of 1 HP (at least not when there is only 1 HP left).
0312. Pillaged Elizabeth's Aluminum mine - A-bomb dual dropped!
0314. Annexed the city and bought a Carrier! This Carrier is critically important to bomb the core cities of England. Unwatned buildings are sold for more cash.
0317. The bombing of Athen has started!
Also, all bigger puppet cities are annexed to build Courthouse. This will further solve happiness problems later. All critial policies have been collected at this stage, so extra policies have very little use anyway. The balance point of the annex is that the happiness buildings of the cities should be able to support the unhappiness contributed by the city. Annexing priorities are given to larger cities (as they can build the Courthouses faster).
0318. Another Great General - burned for Golden Age! Only through a constant Golden Age can Persia afford to purchase A-bombs non-stop.
0319. Athens has fallen!
0331. Elizabeth recaptured Leeds, but of course Darius' units have emptied from the city. Also, the Carrier has departed with a nasty surprise to England's core cities in the back...
0333. Bombing strategy is different here. Persia's priority is to damage England's production as soon as possible, so the bombs are scattered to major metropolitan areas, destroying the mamimal number of tile improvement.
0336. Here is one for London!
0338. Bribed Suleiman to declare war on Wu Zetian. While the price is not cheap, frequent war is required to delay Wu Zetian's culture victory.
0345. Two more bombs dropped - this time on a production rich area, seriously delaying the completion of spaceship components.
0347. Sparta has fallen! Alexander's sea of units are steadily consumed by Darius'Tanks and Artilleries.
Also, Egypt completed the Apollo program. But his progress is far beyond Elizabeth's, so Ramey can wait (to be destroyed later).
0356. Radar is available now. Bombers will make future invasions a lot easier.
0361. Alexander's resistance are quickly devoured by the coordinated attacks of Persia. It is almost over.
Also there was a very good news, Elizabeth was declare war by Ramey and Wu Zetian. Ramey would be able to pack a punch on Elizabeth, and Wu Zetian may further delay her Cultural Victory by a little.
0363. That's the end of Alexander. Now Darius can focus on anyone who could challenge his Conquest victory. Ground units are freed to assault England!
0368. Two more bombs dropped! Three tanks are quite enough for taking severly weakened units and cities.
0370. Another two bombs for London!
0371. Ramey quickly produced 4 A-bombs. Why not let Suleiman eat the bombs? Bribed Suleiman to declare war on Egypt!
0375. Captured London! But Crossgate2003 made a very difficult decision here. After more than a handufl of bombs England will take quite a while to complete the rest of the spaceship parts. The greatest threat to Persia's victory is now Wu Zetian of China.
A peace treaty is signed, and many resources are used in exchange for a small English town. Why is this town so important?
