Marigold no one is arguing your points because they are rediculous and pointless. They bring nothing to the forum. The only thing going on here is people getting frustrated with you trolling an otherwise peaceful forum. Hopefully sooner or later an admin will ban you. Thats all I care to say.

This is one of the most open minded forums I've ever been in. So no, its not just you. Why on earth would anyone try his stratgies if they dont play on marathon/huge? Hence converting others to his game size and speed to try them out.

In no way do I want to criticize a marathon/huge map player. But if marigold is on some kind of marathon crusade, he's going about it the wrong way, and more likely pushing people away from trying it.

I didnt mean to hate on marathon, I meant to hate on you for stating the obvious. Marathon is easier. Maybe you need to play more standard/normal maps. Its seems you have played a lot of marathon and yet you have nothing constructive to say. I think I'll save my time. Choke neighbor...

So basically you are saying marathon/huge is so easy it lets you conisder ideas that are inadvisable on normal settings. Let me be the first to say, whoop te doooooooo!

Emperor/Epic to 1750BC

Generally if your worker is going to sit idle for multiple turns while waiting for research to give him something to do, go war/scout first. As long as the worker has at least roads to build he is worthwhile even if not optimal. I would think starting with pig as the only food source and the...

I havent bought Civ5 yet based on the reviews Ive seen. At the very least it needs extensive patching/expansions before Ill give it a shot. What scares me is the changes that are most popular (hexes, 1upt) are also the changes that are causing the largest problems. Adding two elements that...

I think in this case I would have started AH, Mining, BW, Fishing. Start with worker then warriors (spawnbusting) until fishing is in for workboat. I would want pig up and running first. With forest spam start after AH straight to BW for chops. I would have ignored the clam for a bit...

Update to 430 AD Monarch/Epic

Havent played a NC game in a long time. Thought I would give this one a go. Monarch/Epic to 1725 BC

Here is a game I almost gave up numerous times. My first attempt at Emperor. I find out early I am not ready for this difficulty by trying to chariot rush Pacal. Very early in the war I get a reminder he has a chariot slaughtering UU. I get lucky however and manage to take his double holy city...

I count 4, what am I missing?

@ Sury's capital

I usually play at monarch difficulty, but a while back I played a game at chieftain just to see how rediculous it would be. Planned on going space as early as I could. Got pretty boring in the modern era when the AI was still in medival times so decided to take over the rest of my continent for...

My game from 1000BC to 1000AD. Skipped the 400AD checkpoint since most are past it.
