Welcome to Dr kossin #32.
Dr is an acronym for Daily Round. Yes, I mean to get in an update every day to the games I will be playing. Of course there might be some days where I can only play a little or not at all, but I will make up for it those other days when I do have extra time on my hands.
Since the 21st edition of this series, the difficulty level has been cranked all the way up to Deity. I'm not at the point where I can win every game thrown at me on Deity level... I probably can't even win every game thrown at me on Immortal but it is getting a bit boring. My goal is now to achieve competitive skills on this level which should hopefully help me improve more.
You, the reader, can help me achieve this goal by pointing out where I got astray, give suggestions on how to proceed, use complex abstract mathematical analysis to argue, curse at me or anything that you may like. Please note that you must respect the Terms of Service of CFC in any case
You may shadow this game and post it here if you please, but I kindly request that you put it in spoiler tags and that anyone reading the report abstain from using information found there to help me out.
Should you want more clarification about something I've done, just ask for it and I will try to answer as best as I can.
Enough talk, on to the game.
Round 1 Perhaps a quickie
Round 2 Threading carefully
1AD Analysis, part one
1AD Analysis, part two
Round 3 Liberalism with a bump
Round 4a According to the plan
Round 4b Still according to plan
Round 5a Preparing for the end
Round 5b The end
Game settings
Deity
Normal Speed
Fractal
No Events
No Huts
BTS 3.19 with BUG 4.3 in CustomAssets and BULL 1.1 mods - >>>Get Them Here<<<
Everything else is normal.
A special thanks to Etheric who provided the map.
The leader, this time, is:
Please refer to the America Civ IV wiki for more information on this leader/nation.
The start:
Looks like a very nice start! 1 coastal tile is in the BFC however which leads me to think settling on the wine for the extra commerce might not be a bad idea. Given all the forests, Mining>BW shouldn't be delayed too much but who's to say what lurks in the shadows?
Ind/Org is a good combination. Cheap forges are most welcome and the reduced civic maintenance and cheap courthouses help the economy quite a bit. Seeing as Deity games usually last a bit longer, the UU and UB might see some action but shouldn't be major parts of the game in any case.
Hopefully I get a bit more lucky with religion spreads for once...
