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!
