That was indeed interesting. Sure seems they were innovative in the form of war.
Roads and aqueducts? Take that, Rome! 
@Nelson1812 - Got it. Thank you.
@Wellsonian & @Jolly Olly - I am off-line entirely Saturday 30-March. I will get to this Sunday afternoon March 31st.
Must say playing against human opponents (if you count Bootie) is a lot more interesting than AI.
Yeah, like that's a surprise.

First result is in and it is historical - my Assyrians beat the Elamites of @Wellsonian :
The picture shows the total collapse of the Elamite right flank. Their massed archers are like butter to the hot knife of the Assyrian cavalry and chariots.
I'm not sure if the enclosures will help the Elamites much, but they might make the battle a little bit more even.
Thanks for the match @Wellsonian

Super fun fight @Badger73 !Group 2 ... Badger73 as Assyrians vs @Jolly Olly as Elamites.

Those losses don't quite show how close this battle was running at times. It was tough fought on both sides and the Elamites made more of a fight of it than I was thinking they would. On the second to last turn the Elamites managed to eke out a 1% lead with the Assyrians at 59% routed and the Elamites at 58%. It was very short-lived though. I think 3 Assyrian units rallied on the next turn and it was just a matter of them routing a couple of Elamite units in melee. It ended with a 60% to 53% win for the Assyrians. Boy...so close....so,so close...lol!
What a great fight and a lot of fun! Thanks @Badger73
@Badger73 @Jolly Olly
Just to confirm there was a 23% points difference at the end? (See map above... Nelson's 10% difference.)

Victory conditions were Elamites at 60%routed vs 53% for Assyrians...so 7% difference if I am understanding correctly.
