Good work Al. I like your series. I play most of them, even if I dont post much. The only reason I havent played the Sitting Bull one is because I JUST played him in one of my "learn Normal speed" games. I have it downloaded though, so I will probably play. I still think the very best way to learn this game is to read how others played the exact same game.

I have an idea about how to pick future leaders. See how many times you have played each trait, and try to pick a combo that doesnt have a lot of games. We did this in the middle of the NC when I was running it and it worked out quite well.

Thanks.
I usually try to pick different traits for the new games, but now you've made me check the trait combos and we had 3 exp leaders in a row. GW, Meh and Isa. Not working as intended :lol:

.

EDIT: I'll keep track of the traits in this reply, updating them as new games are hosted.

Hit parade so far (MS XXIII):
6 Imp, Spi
5 Exp, Org
4 Pro, Agg, Fin
3 Cre, Cha, Phi, Ind

Mr. Capac? No, he's in the last LHC. I think Hannibal, Rag or Bismarck.
Or not. Bis is Exp again. Looks like I have a soft spot for Exp leaders.
Maybe even Liz.
Arg, decisions.

Some random ideas :

Ragnar (Financial, Aggressive)
De Gaulle (Industrious, Charismatic)
Roosevelt (Industrious, Organized)
Willem Van Oranje (Financial, Creative)
Zara Yaqob (Creative, Organized)
Stalin (Industrious, Aggressive)

I like this series too, probably because I jumped to Monarch around the time when the series started. Can't find the time to post a full game, though... :sad:

In addition to the stuff I learn here, I think this kind of initiative is also great fun.

My favorit leader, however, hasn't been chosen yet.
I'd love to see you play Lizzy.

I think she's the best of all, since:

1: She's financial with the best secondary trait there is.
2: Her units are definitly in the top 3 (I'd say they rank 2nd, just under the Praetorean).
3: Her building is awesome, despite the fact that they are mid game...

Has monte been done? Some sac altar whip abuse would be nice

Ai Shizuka · Jun 1, 2009

Montezuma is on the to-do list.
Liz will have to wait. We already had an english leader, so she'll come later.

Chas · Jun 24, 2009

Can you explain what version is required for this series? I tried the second one, Joao, and got a 'expected version 302 or earlier' error message.

I have 3.19, with BUG.

At what point in the series will I be able to load a starting save file?

I have just about got Prince (though I still lose a lot of them) but have had no joy at all with Monarch, so this series should be perfect for me.

Ai Shizuka · Jun 24, 2009

Not sure about Joao, I didn't host that one.
But it should be a standard wb save. I know I've played that game with 3.17, BUG and Blue Marble.
