continuing this attack seems pointless though, would eventually win but would have to spend 100 turns buying military shit while some other civ wins by something stupid like diplomacy

fighting a 3 sided war against gandhi, iroquios and germany, can destroy either one, but neither will give me anything for peace

can ignore gandhi, he isnt doing shit
can ignore iroquios, easy to defend from him

bismarck is closest and most advanced, but that island is impenetrable, i guess i can only keep killing his shit to slow down his science, donno

also irritating, an enemy naval unit is 10 squares away in your territory, you embark a land unit way outside of the enemys vision

next turn it magically sails directly into your embarked unit its full movement distance when it had no way of knowing it was there

You can move a unit multiple times until it reach it's maximum movement distance per turn.

its war, and the more people the more unhappiness at war. after taking a city you notice they go into full on revolt then just mild unrest until courthouse. and if you conquer a huge city they have more population which is more unhappiness (i believe its 1:1).
