Prince
Welcome everybody to the 39th edition of Monarch Student Prime! After a quick one-week break, MS prime is back, ready to lay the beatdown on some more AIs. Who's this week glorious leader?
Yes, it's time to bring out Mr. Caesar himself to show these AIs how classical warfare is meant to run. As if he needed any introduction, Julius has a great expansion set in organized and imperialistic, allowing him to gobble up large amounts of land with a reduced upkeep rate. But the Romans aren't known for their trait, they are known for the best UU is the game.
His UU is the Praetorian:
Everyone's favorite beatstick, the Praetorian is known as the best UU in the game. And why not? A sword replacement which sacrifices its +10% city attack bonus for a massive increase in strength from 6 to 8. This makes this UU an absolute monster and praets alone on any level sub-deity have been known to take out 1-2 civs. Use it well as it can win you the game in the first 100 turns.
His UB is the Forum:
The Roman UB is not as well known, but it is still pretty damn good. A market which produces +25% great person generation, it works great in tandem with massive warring. While you war, great people can keep your economy alive through bulbs and golden ages while you continue to conquer. Solid as well, but not overpowering like the UU.
The Start:
Dual weak seafood, but a great grassland cow as well. The romans start with fishing, so this looks to be a pretty nice capital, with a lot of forests to chop out some, oh I don't know.... PRAETS?!?!
Fractal map again.
Huts and Events are OFF, add events in the custom scenario if you wish. (just make sure to cover the top part with your hand so you don't see the AIs )
And a cut-and-paste from Meatbuster's Monarch Student games:
Save the file and place it in your Documents/BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Then unzip it into your Documents/BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Then use Playing a scenario to play your desired level. Or use custom scenario if you want to remove huts and/or events.
Recommended Checkpoints:
*1000BC or 1AD
*500AD
*1000AD or Liberalism
*Victory!
Please remember to put the journals of your adventures inside spoiler tags.
For Monarch+ players please try to add archery back to the barbs in WB. If you don't, AIs will capture cities with archers very early in the game, which is no fun. If you prefer easymode barbs, that's fine too, just don't go wondering why an AI captured a barb city in the very early BCs!

) quite generous with his starting positions. What's bad about that? If I didn't like his maps, would I have played so many of them? I love the MS^ series, I must have played at least twenty of them.
I LOVE coastal starts, with two fishes. It makes the opening so much easier to play.
