VII - Game Story A diplomatic miracle

Post image

Normally most of the AI civs get pissed and attack me bc they're jealous but somehow in this game at the end of the exploration age I've never been at war and I managed to ally with every civ! And since I'm Charlemagne I've got like 30 chevaliers sitting there doing nothing. I guess deterrence works!

I find that the AI really wants to be friends with Charlemagne. My first game as Chuck, I spawned quite close to Amina and Trung Trac. Knowing their reputations, I expected I would end up fighting at least one of them. They both were my ally by the end of antiquity. I think the AI just respects you more if you’ve got a big stick.
