Du willst Jade? Wir haben Jade!

The Giants won today, and so did I! Playing CivVI on King Difficulty on a Huge map as Germany. Won a Cultural Victory in 1958, which was an achievement, as Sweden was also in the game, and Kristina usually mops up on culture. I was playing with the Corporations, Secret Societies, and the Barbarian Alternate settings.

Only fought a few border wars with the Ottomans and the Netherlands. I kept my Army large and up to date to discourage adventurism. At the time of my win, I was halfway to landing on Mars. Good game.

But I'm amused by the fact that what put me over the edge was a performance by the band Renaissance Genius. "Oh, sure, Germany has great museums, national parks, and wonders right and left, but dude. . . did you see that show?"

Speaking of accomplishments, I picked up a new one. Germany controlled the world's jade supply.
