On par? Darius will burn through the tech tree if left alone. He has to get dogpiled which isn't that unlikely but still he's a solid pick.

I think Darius being a Fin leader with 2 Gold mines will tech insanely fast. Given how much land there is on the East of the map, solid chance Brennus doesn't come knocking till he has Longbows. I got Darius winning Spaceship here. Julius could snowball or he might not. Attacking anyone...

I've always had terrible luck playing as Gilgamesh. Either no metal or something insane like that. :crazyeye: Will try and give this one a go.

Gilga needs to wait till he has Catapults and attack Wang and not Sitting Bull IMO. I think Peter is the biggest dark horse in this one. Apart from Gilga he's the only militaristic AI so he's bound to push the envelope and if he rolls over someone like Joao watch out.

I'm leaning Gilga here because he's probably got the best leader personality and has a very good start. Then again, he might decide to attack Sitting Bull and derail his game.

Told y'all Alex got this! First time this season I was right. :crazyeye:

Odeon only gets 1 additional happy face over a regular Colosseum. Not sure that warrants it being that high. I considered Citadels but they replace Castles which are expensive at 100 hammers and also obsolete very early with Economics. And like you said Conqs are a much better path that as...

1) If Mansa wins Space he wins for himself, not for you! In other words you will lose if he does this. 2) Absolutely keep conquering. You can win by Conquest if you vassalize everyone. 3) Hmm depends on the strength of the enemy but generally build more. It seems your wars are lasting too...

There is a lot of info on UB's but most of it is old from many years ago. I'm wondering what the current community thinks are the best UB's. Here are the contenders that come to mind: Terrace (Inca) - Granary with +2 culture is super duper useful to pop borders early Ball Court (Maya) -...

i like Alex here with Iron in the BFC and also Gold which will help early research and happiness. Due to Justinian's military flavors and lower PW I think he's safer than Zara who could face a similar fate as he did against Alex before. If Zara delays Iron Working he could be staring down an...

Hannibal pulled off one of the best performances ever IMO. So cramped for land and had to break out and while he was breaking out he had another AI dogpile on him and he still managed to consolidate then killed 2 more leaders. Very very impressive but not surprising. Fin + Cha is a super...

He had all those unhappy faces before the nukes though immediately after losing the Statue of Zeus city back to Gandhi. Regarding Shaka I still think without Aggressive AI option Isabella and Gandhi never declare for war and/or sue for piece very quickly because Shaka had much higher power...

Imagine if he wasn't. Police State is his favorite civic which isn't the case for most AI... and still 21 unhappy faces :eek:
