Hello again, AI aficionados! Bet you thought I was dead. Don't worry, I get it. As you can probably guess from the radio silence (sorry about that, by the way), AI China is dead. Japan decided to win the dirty way by taking a couple of capitals and then crashing the game so nobody else could win. What a bunch of jerks. So to make it up to you, here's a completed game! Please note that a few of the civs in this game have been tweaked to be more aggressive, as even Aggressive & Expansive AI couldn't make them thirst for blood.



Here on the tail of the Anglerfish (hence the title), we have a handful of our 18 competitors. Ethiopia rule over the northernmost tip, with Dahomey nearby to provide competition. Near the centre and nestled up in a mountain pass, we have the Etruscan League, with Flanders to the east. Finally, down south, we see Denmark-Norway, under Struensee. With Ethiopia, D-N and the Etruscans here, we can be pretty sure that Civs with crappy colours will claim copious amounts of clay. Oh well!

Here on the fish's back, we have a number of other competitors. On the west coast of the inland sea sits Francia, and on the north east we have Henry VIII's England. Whoever manages to claim their opposing coastal capital will have a major advantage in the wars to come. A short trip south of England brings us to everyone's favourite meme civ, Deseret. Going north again brings us to the lands of East Germany, Egypt (under Narmer) and Dacia (with their slightly-too-big alpha). These three form a perfect triangle with each other, so competition will be intense.

Back down south, we find France - under JFD's modded Napoleon. Maybe this one will be a better conqueror than his defanged Firaxis counterpart.



East of them are Epirus. I don't have a whole lot to say about these guys.



Way to the southwest is where the Evenks call their home. In my test game, these guys pulled off a surprise assumed victory after the game started crashing several hundred turns in. Can they do it again?



Back east across the coast, we find the Dene - considerably buffed, because Dene - and the only fictional civ in the Alphabattle: Finland, under Mannerheim.

...And finally, in a whole slide of its own because I'm an idiot, we have the Faroe Islands. These guys don't have much room to expand, but they do have plenty of easy targets to conquer. Will they take the opportunity?

A few second cities go up. France heads south, hoping to project its power across the anglerfish's belly, while Deseret aggressively forward settles the Evenks.

More second cities. That Frankish settler is super far out. Interesting move.

The fish's back will be a hotbed of activity indeed - every second city here with the exception of Leipzig is founded right on a rival civ's doorstep.

Deseret predictably get the first pantheon, but more importantly for us, they're rocking Chariot Archers. A promising start!

Everyone has the same amount of techs. Early days, of course.

Only 27 turns in, we have our first war! Dacia declares war on East Germany and marches straight for the capital.

For some inexplicable reason, Burebista of Dacia has split his units, and his attacking force looks slightly less intimidating now. Also, check out the placement of Hastings. Henry seems to be looking for trouble.

Struensee of Denmark-Norway builds the Great Library as East Germany flails while trying to defend its capital.

Dacia, whose forces seem to have dissolved, is forced to make peace with East Germany. Not today, Burebista.

On the other pole, we see Francia and the Dene declaring war on the Evenks - though neither have the means to do anything. More notably, though, is the small blob of Deseret units marching on the Evenks.

Surely enough, war is declared shortly after. Brigham Young has a significant numerical advantage, but if AI China has taught us anything, it's that the AI melts down on rough terrain - which Bombogor holds in great supply.

Over on the tail, the Etruscan League build the Statue of Zeus: a key wonder in domination-only games.



Also, look at that absolutely disgusting forward settle of Denmark-Norway by Ethiopia.

Burebista is back with a vengeance! His military is massively improved and complete with his UU, the Sicaman. Sitting on an open field with such sparse defences, East Berlin is not looking like a great place to live right now.

Down south, Deseret starts to plink away at the walls of Baykit.

Burebista is unsurprisingly the biggest, baddest dude, but the fun is only just beginning.

Everyone down here needs to pick up the slack. Especially you, Bombogor. I expected better of you after last time.

Bombogor peaces out with Brigham Young, but the damage is done - Baykit has fallen, and the Evenks have only their tiny, isolated polar capital to their name.



Back up north, we see death descending upon East Berlin.

And there it goes! Our first capital capture goes to Dacia, who take East Berlin from East Germany with ease.

Henry builds a wall, but which one of his neigbours is going to pay for it? Time will tell.

Narmer and Haile Selassie are drowning in riches.

Meanwhile Tyrrhenus of the Etruscans is just drowning.

And speaking of which, here's a declaration of - holy shit, that's a solid army. I guess we know where all the money went now. The Etruscans stand poised to destroy - or at least cripple - the Dahomey empire.

...but Dahomey is smart, and Tarchuna falls to just one trebuchet and a couple of melee units. It'll flip back, but it was a good capture anyway.

Meanwhile, in a war that I initially captured but deleted because the original slideshow was way too big, Henry VIII of England makes moves against Brigham Young of Deseret.

Tarchuna is recaptured, and the advantage tips back into Tyrrhenus' hands.

Agaja of Dahomey senses this too, and makes peace. Sigh.

But the Etruscan invasion was merely the calm before the storm. 6 turns after peace is made, everything explodes everywhere. Here, we see Haile hoping to put the hurt on his neighbour Agaja. Neither civ has much in the way of an army, so this could go either way. Denmark-Norway also takes a pop at the Etruscans, but with only one or two tiles to mount a northward attack from, their chances of taking Velzna are almost nil.

Meanwhile, Goetu goes tu attack Dacia, hoping to snag the stolen East German capital from beneath their noses.

Dacia founds Blidaru in perhaps the most ill-advised city foundation of this game.

Naturally, it's flipped on the very same turn.

Napoleon decides that Honecker hasn't suffered enough yet, so he decides to flex his large but outdated military muscles in his general direction. Burebista and Tróndur make peace after achieving absolutely nothing. Same goes for Bombogor and Thana Del Re- Thanadeltur.

Brigham Young of Deseret, however, has a good chance of finishing the Evenks off as he declares war once again. He just needs to navigate the forests - but we all know that's easier said than done.

Science is still anyone's game, but the Faroe Islands have a slight lead for now.

Meanwhile, Napoleon and Mannerheim are failing their spelling tests.

And now it's time for the Turn 100 Infoaddicts! Here's a diagram of all of the ongoing wars for funsies. As you can see, it's somewhat of a clusterfuck right now, and on the sidebar you can see that England decided to add to that by declaring war on Dahomey for some reason.

Deseret are doing what Mormons do best and breeding like rabbits, with almost a million citizens more than the second most populous Faroe Islands.

Naturally, their abundance is expedited by their significant crop yields. Francia is close-ish, however, while England and the other civs are having locust problems.

As has been made apparent, Deseret are a surprisingly significant competitor in this game, with a reasonable production lead.

The GNP rankings are a much closer competition - England leads, but Dacia and Egypt are hot on their trail.

Ethiopia rules the roost in land area, largely due to the utterly disgusting forward settle they made early on, effectively dooming Denmark-Norway to irrelevance.

Francia and Dacia take the top spot in military might, with Flanders in third waiting for his neighbours to diddly diddly do something.

It's difficult to tell exactly what's going on here. It seems to me like it's the Evenks damaging Baykit. I assume Francia and Deseret have open borders, since I don't recall any war being declared between them. Nevertheless, Baykit isn't doing too great.

Sure enough, it returns to Evenki hands on the next turn.

...Only for Charlemagne to charge in and capture the city.

Brigham Young, not content with just one war, declares war on Napoleon too. Kind of a questionable decision but you do you, Brigham.

Robrecht of Flanders, Ned's lesser known son, declares war on Agaja of Dahomey because it's the cool thing to do. He has very few tiles to pass through, but I wish him all the best anyway.

Elsewhere, the... fourth? Fifth? Finn-Epirote war begins. Will either civ do anything this time? I can't remember, because I'm narrating this way later!

The Deseret offensive on Tura has mostly dried up due to their inability to commit to just one war at a time. However, Francia are moving in for the kill. Show em how it's done, Charlemagne!

Henry VIII builds Alhambra, which will give him a significant edge in future conflicts.

And then everything explodes. Egypt have finally woken up, and march for Sarmizegetusa Regia. East Germany have had enough of Dacia's atrocities, and so they put forth a resistance.

Elsewhere, the Faroe Islands once again declare war on Epirus.

Though Faroese land forces only have one tile of space to attack through, they still have a chance at taking Passaron with enough naval support.

Dacia bypasses the science-deprived East German army with ease, marching straight into Leipzig. This could be bloody.

Henry, Thanadelthur(!) and Charlemagne rule the roost in military might, though Charlie is the only person putting his power to any use.

Bombogor is going through his death throes, and Agaja isn't looking too hot either. Poor guys.

Henry awakens, instantly bringing Cetatuie down to half health...

...and then into his own hands, within the space of a single turn. With his lands now unified, England might prove to be a major northern power.

Dacia captures Leipzig, eliminating East Germany in 17th place. Poor East Germany couldn't do much even with the buffs given to them, as they had the misfortune of being the super warlike Dacians' neighbour.

Revenge is swift, however. The Dacian seizure of Leipzig opened it up to an English assault, and they immediately claim the East German second city for themselves.

Elsewhere, Napoleon is playing to win as he captures the Deseret capital of Salt Lake City (located on neither salt nor a lake). Bountiful, however, will be a trickier target.

The Faroese have so far achieved nothing in their campaign against Epirus. But England seem to be doing just fine in their conquest of Dacia as they march on East Berlin.

After hundreds of years of being lost in forests and hills, Frankish forces capture Tura, eliminating the Evenks in 16th place. The only reason the former winners managed to avoid last place was their home turf, which the AI can't handle at all. Achieving absolutely nothing, all they did was prove to me that the test game was a fluke.

East Berlin falls! Dacia look likely to take it back, but English numbers will probably win out in the end.



Epirus vs Faroe Islands remains a stalemate.

French forces have maneuvered past the mountain separating them from the Deseret capital in exile, and Bountiful is looking much less bountiful than it used to.

Denmark-Norway do their first notable thing of the entire game, founding the World Congress.

As Argedava is hammered into the red, Burebista strikes a peace deal with Henry VIII, staying the slaughter of his people for just a little longer. But he still has the Egyptian problem to worry about...

Over on the fish's tail, a completely empty plain is all there is between Dahomey's nonexistent military and Addis Ababa. Ethiopia, at the very least, has SOME military presence in their navy. But both civs should really be worried about the growing Etruscan carpet...

Bountiful falls, eliminating Deseret in 15th place! Deseret were surprisingly aggressive throughout the game, to the point in being ineffectual - they were TOO trigger happy to just stick to one war at a time, and as a result failed to make any gains. France capitalised on this.

Charlemagne leads in techs, with Goetu and Struensee approaching. Everyone else lags behind a fair bit.

Our last place civs, Finland and Dacia, are a whopping 12 techs behind the Francia.

The Etruscans put their new carpet to good use, eliminating Agaja of Dahomey in 14th place! Dahomey had the misfortune of failing to understand that armies are needed to win Domination games, leaving their lands wide open for pretty much the entire game. Next stop Ethiopia?

The Faroe Islands declare war on a civ they might actually be able to make gains against - Dacia are crippled right now, and the coastal cities of Argedava and Blidaru are ripe for the taking.



More importantly, though, England declares war on Francia! Whoever wins this will gain a foothold on the other side of the continent - a very important prize indeed.

Francia crushes almost all of England's navy with gusto as they start to bombard York.

Blidaru falls to the Faroe Islands and the two civs make peace. It may not seem like much, but now Goetu has a much wider front to attack Pyrrhus of Epirus from.

England pulls an entire navy out of its ass, and to make matters worse for Francia, they've been DoWed by France and Finland too! Finland may not be relevant to them, but France definitely is - and Napoleon is coming for them.

England capture Soissons. Normally they wouldn't be able to keep it, but with the addition of another DoW from Dene, Francia are going to have real trouble retaking the city.

Henry isn't content with just one war, and so he declares war on Dacia again. This could be Burebista's big break - the English core is completely empty due to the war with Charlemagne, so the newly rebuilt Dacian army can just swoop right in their and take back their losses.



In theory, at least.

Tura falls into Thanadeltur's hands! Those Dene buffs are really paying off.

Aachen falls! The remnants of the Frankish navy can still take it back, but England is rocking deadly Longbowmen. With the French forces sweeping through their lands, things are not looking good for Francia.

Francia muster up all of their energy and recapture Aachen. With England's lack of melee presence right now, they look to keep it... at least until Napoleon comes knocking at its gates.

Haile Selassie as a military presence now, and he's also managed to build the Red Fort - making him annoyingly difficult for anyone to defeat.

Henry reaches into Unlimited Blade Works and pulls out yet another army, this time going straight for the heart of Dacia. However, he still lacks melee units - there's a good chance that Narmer will swipe the prize from right under Henry's nose.

A reasonably sized Finnish fleet has managed to make it all the way to the Frankish coast, and looks poised to take Baykit! They're not alone, however, as the Dene eye the city like hawks.

Baykit falls to the Dene, but Strasbourg is now firmly in Finnish sights.

England blast through the remaining Dacian defences, taking both Argedava and Sarmizegetusa Regia in the same turn and eliminating Dacia in 13th place. Dacia were a strong contender from the beginning - but constantly picking on little old East Germany may have been their fatal error as they racked up warmonger penalties.

It keeps happening! England must have captured Aachen off-screen. Meanwhile, Finland strikes the deathblow, taking Treves and Strasbourg and eliminating Francia in 12th place. Charlemagne was a strong contender, but suffered from the same issues as Dacia before them - they were just too aggressive.

Denmark-Norway take another pop at the Etruscans.

So do Egypt and Epirus, but their success seems doubtful.

Napoleon is on top of his production game, managing to own 9 wonders while rocking a pretty significant military.

And down here, we have the losers who decided to focus on the game instead.

And it's turn 200, which means it's time for the Demographics - because InfoAddict started crashing the game! England has an impressive lead, but France still maintain the lead in what really counts.

The Etruscans capture Aalborg! Struensee is probably regretting this DoW.

But wait, there's more! Aalborg falls again, this time to the... Dene?!

The Etruscans recapture it, but... could that be what I think it is?

It is! A lone Epirote ship captures Aalborg.

This, apparently, sets off Haile Selassie, who decides he wants to see what all the fuss over Aalborg is.

The very same turn, he captures it. Boy, I would not like to live in that city.

The situation around Aalborg seems to have calmed down for now, and we get a look at the first ideology - The Dene have become darned dirty reds! Somewhere, an American is shaking in fury.

Back to a war that I forgot was happening - France captures Passaron from Epirus.

As France poises its troops to strike directly at the Epirote heart, we take a look down south at Finland's single warrior. Maybe he has cultural significance or something.

The top of the science list is still anyone's for the taking.

Or at least most people's. These bottom civs probably don't stand a chance.

England predictably chooses the path of fascism. I'll refrain from jokes about current affairs. This will no doubt enhance their lead, though.

Abomey is taking damage, and there are so many units nearby that I can't even tell who's attacking it.

Ambracia falls! After the meagre performance he gave in the test game, Napoleon is not messing around.

Henry, meanwhile, decides it's time for Egypt to stop existing. His northern holdings are looking a little empty, though.

Pyrrhus has managed to recapture his capital! He's not out of the game yet!

Of course, it falls again next turn, but he can still keep going. Maybe.

The Egyptian forces around Abydos completely evaporate as Henry sweeps over them. On the fish's tail, Struensee can't catch a break as Denmark-Norway suffers DoWs from both the Dene and Flanders.

Copenhagen is taking damage. With such poor defences and two imposing forces looming over him, I think it's fair to ask you to prime your F keys.

Abydos falls to England, and Narmer gathers his remaining forces to hold Thinis against the oncoming English tide.

The Dene fleet seem to have just been passing by, as Velzna is reduced to half health. Meanwhile, Henry's bloodthirst leads him to attack the Faroe Islands too.

Dodona is on its last legs, surrounded by French forces on all sides. Who will fall first - Denmark-Norway or Epirus?

Denmark-Norway. Flemish forces close in and put Copenhagen out of its misery, eliminating Denmark-Norway in 11th place. Denmark-Norway had the potential to be a contender, but they were the victims of one of the most brutal forward settles I've ever seen. With no space to expand, they just couldn't get enough Production going, resulting in them being the punching bag of the game.

Oops. Henry is too focused on his war with Narmer to send units to his previous conquests. As a result, the Faroe Islands are about to snag themselves a new capital.

Velzna falls to the backdoor squad sent by the Dene! Thana del Ray is really putting in work.

The Etruscans reclaim their capital, but Flanders has developed a taste for blood as he sets off to remove the ugly Etruscan colours from the map.

Thinis falls to England, eliminating Egypt in 10th place. A good thing, too, since they were the reason the test game crashed.



Egypt were, ultimately, a loss of potential. They had the means and the ability to nip the English snowball in the bud, but they instead chose to be passive. Naturally, when the time came for England to clean up the north, they had no way to stop the tide.

The very same turn, Dodona falls, putting Pyrrhus of Epirus out of the game in 9th place. Epirus had very little going for it - they only really achieved some minor skirmishes with the Faroe Islands and Finland.



Speaking of Finland, France have decided that it's time for them to go. Will they be able to maintain the momentum?

East Berlin falls to the Faroe Islands thanks to Henry's oversight. Good job, Henry.

Aalborg is taking damage, presumably from Finnish bombardment. Mannerheim, shouldn't that fleet be somewhere more important right now?

Mannerheim takes Ambracia and hopes that Napoleon won't try to get it back.

He also captures Aalborg, putting it to the torch in a bid to end the Saga of Aalborg for good.

The French reclaim Ambracia, but the Finnish are doing all they can to keep Napoleon away from their core holdings. They've now captured Dodona instead.

England learns from its mistakes and gets East Berlin back.

In his triumph, Henry orders the construction of the Brandenburg Gate to further enhance his military prowess.

Thanadelthur attempts to take Addis Ababa with a small contingent of Privateers. Best of luck to her.

Mannerheim peaces out with Napoleon, knowing that he needs to prepare more if he wants to go toe to toe with a major power.

Aalborg flips yet again, this time to the Dene. These guys seem really fond of surprise oversea city captures.

Flemish forces seize Tarchuna and march on the similarly open Kutonu.

A look at the English core reveals that they've been hit hard by the continuous warmongering they've been doing - their lands are almost devoid of units.

The World's Fair ends, with resident cultural leaders the Dene taking first place.

A tiny English force approaches Klaksvík, hoping to get lucky. The city is in the red, which means there was probably a much larger fleet that got destroyed offscreen.

4 turns later, Klaksvík is down and Tórshavn is in the red.

Immediately afterwards, Tórshavn falls to England, sending the Faroe Islands out of the game in 8th place. They did the best they could from their small peninsula, taking nearby coastal cities, but never quite being able to hold them.

The Dene core is surprisingly full, and Flanders starts another war with the Etruscans for funsies.

Abomey goes down quickly, but Tyrrhenus of the Etruscans looks like he can take it back.

The Dene seem to have settled as the main tech leaders. The Etruscans are basically cavemen to the rest of the world.

As expected, England is very much the king of the hill in the stats that matter. Finland has a lower approval rating than a submarine that everyone met one time several thousand years ago.

The Flemish onslaught continues! Kutonu is the next city to fall, and those GWIs seem to be making a push for Velzna.

The Etruscans take Kutonu back, but Flanders has more than enough firepower to be the final owner of the city.

Sure enough, it flips back, while Henry VIII of England declares war on Mannerheim of Finland.

Paratroopers! Planes! Now we're getting somewhere!



England's first order of business is to cut off Finland's Frankish holdings, giving them a bigger front to launch their inevitable attack on Flanders from. They do so, capturing Strasbourg and marching a significant force to Treves.

Treves goes down, and only one Finnish GWI is in a position to retake it.

Velzna falls to Flanders, eliminating the Etruscans in 7th place. The Etruscans fared reasonably well, snatching up the Dahomey territories with ease. Unfortunately, they stagnated after that, leading to their downfall at Robrecht's hands.

With almost all of the fish's tail under his control, Robrecht seeks to eliminate his final enemy - Haile Selassie. This will be a tough one.

Aalborg is captured again. Aalborg is set alight again.

Ethiopia retaliates in kind, taking back Aalborg and capturing Abomey and Velzna for good measure.

Only to have them flipped right back by Flanders.

The Ethiopian forces have largely disappeared, and so Ethiopia makes a last push on Aalborg.

And Henry seizes the opportunity! A weakened, distracted Ethiopia is a prime target, and he has no intention of letting this chance at a new capital slip by.

Abomey flips to Ethiopia, but that only makes them more vulnerable to the real threat.

Or not. England seem to have underestimated their foe. Also, look at all of that empty land!

Slowly but surely, Flanders is being whittled down - Ethiopia now has a consistent border from north to south.

The Flemish-Ethiopian war ends as a significant victory for Ethiopia - but both sides have virtually no military anymore.

England does it! They seize Harar from the exhausted Ethiopia, and have Abomey on lockdown.

Abomey falls, but Ethiopia retrieves Harar. That said, this is still a net gain for England, who now have a new capital under their belt.

I am become death, destroyer of worlds.

Harar falls back into Henry's hands, and he heads for Haile's home.

The attack on Addis Ababa failed, but that hasn't stopped Henry from seizing Kutonu and (soon enough) Adwa.

Haile makes peace with Henry. His capital burns. His lands are no longer his. The end is coming soon.

In one of the new cities that Henry founded just because he could, we see this terrifying sight. Will he use them?

Something something tourism something. More importantly, Napoleon has nukes now!

...and he immediately goes to work on Finland. However, Turku - now English for some reason - will prove to be a great obstacle.

France is still making it work, though - Porvoo is taking heavy damage.

Jesus Christ, Henry. That production is quite something.

Flanders has Mech Infantry now! That's pretty neat, but it probably won't save them - they've already lost their shot at carving up Ethiopia.

Henry decides to bring the gift of mercy to Haile Selassie.

In just one turn, Addis Ababa falls, eliminating Ethiopia in 6th place. Ethiopia kept to themselves, not bothering with overseas wars. They were happy to project their not-insignificant power across the fish's tail, which was ultimately their downfall. A stronger navy would have been a godsend to them.

Porvoo falls to France, but there's no way they can hold it... right?

This should surprise precisely nobody.

Oh hey, Future Worlds units! I have no idea what any of them do, but this is just here to show that, yes, they exist.

Finland retakes Porvoo. It was a good attempt on France's side, at least.

Wait. What? Flanders captures Porvoo, proving that Robrecht still has a few surprises up his sleeve.

How did this happen?! Flanders has now made landfall and is besieging Helsinki!

I guess that's just the power of money.

And so, Finland returns to nonexistence in 5th place, eliminated by the last civ you'd expect - Flanders. Finland had their moments - they were instrumental in the partitioning and ultimate downfall of Francia - but they ultimately remained somewhat stagnant.

Yeesh.

France declares war on Flanders, angry at them for sniping their prize.

Surprisingly, the offensive pays off, and Porvoo falls. Helsinki is also Helsinking.

Helsinki is taken by Napoleon, but Flanders still have melee units to take it back.

Everyone loves to visit Bruges, presumably because of that one Colin Farrell movie. Good film.

France manages to hold on to Helsinki, and with that, Flanders are expelled back to their little corner of the map. Oh well, Robrecht. At least you tried.

It's turn 450, nothing has happened in a long time, and everyone has a big old carpet. You know what that means - it's World War time!

Dene forces launch a two-pronged attack on Turku and Helsinki.

The English juggernaut immediately moves on the Flemish capital of Ghent.

Of course, they have to capture Aalborg first. It's tradition!

Helsinki and Porvoo fall into Dene hands, but Turku is too heavily fortified to make a dent in.

France takes back what's rightfully theirs. What's a Finland?

With a mighty swing, the English hammer smashes in Flemish empire in one fell swoop. Bruges is besieged, and can't survive.

Someone nuked London! Hopefully none of that fallout will ruin Henry's Sandwich.

With the capture of Beghaniche'ere, France splits the Dene empire in half.

After a tug of war, England finally eliminates Flanders in 4th place. Flanders were a fun civ whose buffs helped them a lot. Though they remained dormant for the first half of the game, they pulled off some very daring invasions during the second half, and many were successful.



You did well, Robrecht. Take a rest in the sub: you've earned it.

So I guess England built Jurassic Park at some point.

France is taking massive damage, with several cities in the black. Presumably, the Dene and English forces did this together.

The Dene cities are also teetering on the edge of their demise.

England capture Salt Lake City and begin to make inroads into French lands.

Orleans and Tura fall.

Paris, too.

Orleans is taken by the Dene, who at this point will pretty much take what they can get.

England take it back with a SAM, however.

And just like that, France are eliminated in 3rd place. France had a good run, establishing themselves as England's main rival and being one of the most prolific early-game conquerors. Ultimately, though, England's massive production won out in the end.

Somba K'e falls. The end draws ever nearer.

Offscreen, England captured the Finnish territories Finally, they march towards Tura, the final capital...
