I just achieved one of my greatest victories to date....
Playing on the "British Isles" map, I (playing as the Turks) was started on the same island right next to the French....ugh...the smell was horrible. I made my personal record....I defeated the entire French nation in get this....6 min 28 seconds.....they never built a barracks. I had the 1st Infantry Reg., comprised of 9 foot units, my Senator Patriot, 2 siege catapults and 4 light cavalry. I thought the French would counter attack, but I never needed the 2nd Infantry....
Naturally, the other two nations, Spain and Nubia allied themselves and declared war on me really for no reason and attacked my fishing fleet. In the Medieval Age, I built the Terra Cotta Army and amassed a massive 30 units for the 3rd Infantry. As fast as I could, I rushed the Spanish coast and hit Valladolid, the closest town....being the Turks, I had extremely fast assimilation ability and was able to fly towards Madrid speedily....one last town quickly folded. Since I had it on 80% Territory for victory, I needed only to capture one more town for victory....total time, 56 minutes.....
