Rules:
Nomad, Ancient to Modern. (I consider Information's combat to be a little too hectic)
Custom Diplomacy.
Technology Cheap and Fast.
Nations:Well, there were eight of them. All you need to know about are the Japanese, Dutch, and Lakota.
So, early on, I was going to try to not only get rid of all my citizens once my economy was going, I was going to try and balance my economy early and let it soar to unimaginable quotas.
Seneca, the Lakota dude, wanted to be my ally, so I let him. It turns out that his territory practically surrounds mine, shoving me into a safe corner. The open end was covered by the green colored computer. So, I made peace with him. So now, if anyone wanted at me, they'd have to go through either of these countries. Perfect.
So, I built up me economy to unimaginable quotas. I had three cities and was going to build my fourth once I hit gunpowder (My fourth would be the Forbidden City.) Now, instead of doing anything that cost money, I just sat and waited, watching the interest rack up. I'd barely buy anything, and certainly not use any resource that was lagging behind.
So, in the late Medieval age, I had over 10k of each resource. I hopped to the Gunpowder age and made the Forbidden City. I put up major defenses and made it my capital. I no longer needed any other buildings or citizens, so I just razed them all.
I fully research commerce, so each resource is at +650 or +700 (I had the colossus, which bumps up the cap for two of them, and the dutch's cap is up 50 for interest as well.) in the Enlightenment Age. By now I have roughly 40k of each resource. I research the Industrial Age, and I totally crash my gold economy by buying a few thousand oil.
So, since I delayed so much in the medieval age, we all hit Modern at the same time. By now I had researched everything that could possibly raise my commerce cap. So the board is at about, +900, +800, +900, +800, +750. For fun, I declare war with random countries. A foolish decision, because the colossus gets bombed. I'll miss that thing.
So, I take over this country, I think it was China, rather easily with several 72-man armies. I raze everything to the ground except their capital. A glitch prevents that. At their capital I build ten airfields and fill them with bombers.
After a while, it has the best security that a person would want. A dozen air defenses, a fort, two towers, and ten fighter planes patrolling the area. And besides, it's a long way from the border (The space in between is just nothingness, because I bombed it all and razed it all.) so any attacking force coming in would be halfway done for by the atrition.
So, I can now bomb the heck out of Japan. Which i'm doing currently, since it's a saved game. I have over 300,000 of each resource. Imagine 90 bombers heading straight for your capital. I have reimagined airpower.
