I have been working lately on Huge map, Emperor difficulty milk runs. I have abandoned a couple. One I played into the mid-1300's. It was an Archipelago map with a dom limit of 4369. I started out strong but didn't start capturing territory soon enough. Added to that I had difficulties with happiness on the many small continents. When I checked my scoring trend I realized I could place on the HoF table but nowhere near the top. I posted my Huge Monarch game that was in the bottom half of it's chart mostly because it would improve my worst quartile. For this one, I want to do the best I can.
My current attempt is Pangaea. I am trying Maya against Seafaring and Expansionist Civs, no scientific civs. (Dutch, Arabs, Spain, Portugal, Carthage, America, England, and Hittites). 60%, Normal, Wet, 5Bil yr. Barbs off. (The other was the same except for map type and Temp was Temperate.)
The Competition:
The abandoned Archipelago game:
As you can see my progress had really flattened in comparison with Svar and Moonsinger. I might have been able to make some of it up but no way would I be able to catch Svar's game.
The current game:
Edit: Replaced graph with one showing only current game and that is more compariable with other graph.
This one still has potential. I have been struggling through lots of jungle. I am researching Metallurgy now and expect to get Mil. Tradition in less that 20 turns. (Slow research but the best I can do.) I have taken out two other civs and just about ready to start on the 3rd. They have fuedulism but no iron. This should be fun.
More later.
