As our campaign against Siam continues, we turn our attention to two immediate targets: The former English city of Newcastle (north of Nakhon Sawan) and the city of Suphanburi. Newcastle is the only Siamese city north of us on the eastern continent, so eliminating and liberating that will allow us to have a unified front, while Suphanburi would be our first major acquisition in siamese mainland (Sawan is pretty much on the outskirts.)

The battle for Newcastle was over reasonably quick. We simply sailed our battleship fleet over and pounded them into submission, quick and easy. Then, we split up our fleet and sailed some over to our mainland to take care of some siamese outposts, a couple taht were on the islands above and one directly to the north of Delhi that had been hounding us for some time. Those crusades were also successful! Suphanburi, on the other hand, is proving difficult. We did take it over, but it was then taken back from us as they had more forces in reserve hidden in their territory. We should be able to take it again with our sizable air force, but it is a ferocious battle. While this is happening, we have a couple of submarines that have happened upon a modest navy to the south, near London, so they are scuttling those ships and whittling their numbers down. With some aid from our bombers, the fleet was made short work of. After Suphanburi is taken and secured, we will likely march our army over to the former city-state of Bucharest so we can liberate it, and at the same time sail our navy down to London since our navy can reach that. Once those two cities are liberated, we will likely stop this campaign as long as siam will allow us. Mainly because we finally can see the whole map and are able to see just how vast the Siamese empire is.

As far as game-wise, the endgame is rapidly approaching. Most civs have researched the Apollo Program, and a few civs are culturally dominant over a few other civs as well. There are regular votes for World Leader, and Siam has that on lock for the time being thanks to their massive city-state lead, but I noticed their income has dropped steeply since earlier on this game, so perhaps some of that control can be wrested back. They definitely aren't close to a diplomatic win yet. I suspect this will come down to a research victory first, as without world congress majority it's hard to get a pass for a world ideology (and therefore a culture victory).
