I'm not even sure how you dare compare what Grashopa does to hof games where you start with at least 3 gold / gems -huge / marathon -17 civs including 3-4 so close you can easily rush and eliminate them with whatever early game broken UU you want netting you 4 capitals before 2500 b.c...

Wow... Is this even possible outside of deity? What would be good dates for imm?

Emperor / normal Began by worker stealing from Sury. 1st declaration of war. Took peace. Declared and wiped him next. Two declarations of war = -2 with Ceasar. This would come back to haunt me. Never been a hannibal fan but wow with GLH and cothon and currency you can probably get unlimited...

Trying to play the game but getting an error "game is protected". Anyway around this?

Rusten can you post some save files leading up to the conclusion? I'd shadow the game, but I'd be too embarrassed to post the results :> I hope you keep making these games. The level of detail and thought you put into your decisions makes me feel bad about how much I rush through the game :/ In...

@obsolete - In the 1230 screenshot it says you have 4 cities and then 80 turns later 28 cities? What did you war with?

Read every single strategy article, there are too many things to fix.

HE always worth it, it should let you build a unit a turn for 10 turns which is faster than 2-pop whips and drafting which just crushes your economy or rush buying which is an every other turn thing. Building a unit every turn just cause the city has the HE is just so silly. HOWEVER, HE makes...

I have a pretty contradicting view. I play on IMM/NOR and the cost of maintaining extra units that aren't doing anything can really escalate. For the most part, I try to keep the minimum amount of units that I can, and then once I get a good tech position (like first to steel or rifles or...

Pyramids will save you on maps with low food and no rivers.

Really sucks that it's cottage land. I think Monty's UB is so awesome and it would have been great to go a oracle > code of laws jump and pyramids for representation to show how sick 5 turn whipping can be.

Also if I had to say, I think around ~1500 B.C you can really see how the player is planning his game. That's about the time people who are going for say pyramids or great lighthouse can have a large amount of hammers in. Also oracle seems to go between 1500-2000 so that's another step. Finally...

After looking at the scoring criteria, I'm so sad I didn't attack with my chariots :( I just thought people would want to make their own decision in the second round about who to kill.

Worker, worker, settler? On marathon? You keep your capital a size one city for 100 turns? Lol I think something people might know about espionage is this religion and holy cities play a significant part in mission costs. This is the king supreme of posts concerning espionage cost...

I just thought Zara's land was better. I don't have those diplomacy tables memorized but Willem apparently declares at pleased and comes after me some turns later with mass SAM INF and I lose the game :/

I really really try to avoid settling on coasts.... clams is not an especially amazing tile and the sugar gives +1 food so I didn't mind trying to move... got very lucky with the corn As long as we are talking about this game, I kept playing the game and this is my situation:

I'm going to guess you went for the GLH =) I'm not better than you but I feel confident in my spawn busting.

@ Dhoomstriker Thanks for taking the time to comment on everyone's game.

@drlake I'm confused why you would move your capital coastal and then not get a work boat out to work the fishing tile. I also think that your 2nd city is in a bad location because Zara is a culture monster and you will surely lose those cows. @civconflict everything I wanted to do but...

I settled in place because I do not like coastal capitals.
