You live in a world were all the worlds nations got started at the same time and you must lead your nation to glory. You found cites while you spread your culture and religion around the globe. You attack the loser of the American-Mongolian war, then Gandhi whose's been nothing but an ass the last 5000+ plus years nukes the shit out of you and starts world war 5 which lasted until 1817 when your allies and fellow Buddhists the Aztecs and Germans wiped the Indians of the peninsula leaving their lands to the neighboring Iroquois. Then is 1950 Aristotle is born which leads to a golden age that allows to win on points via culture in the year 2050.
I figured this one out as soon as I read, "
Gandhi whose's been nothing but an ass."
You can drop a piano on a person's head, cause another to get eaten by a shark, and mutilate an entire neighborhood with headclippers while dressed as a clown.
