The Greatest Jaggi
Has anyone played with One-City-Challenge or Always War in AND yet?
I've been wanting to try Always War under AND, but does OCC work any differently than in standard CivIV?
I was taking a bit of a break from AND and playing some Always War games in standard BTS, as well as some other oddball variants to otherwise normal games. How does the prospect of a OCC game with Conquest as the only victory option sound?
After I finish up with this BTS game I want to see how a similar one would play out in AND (Can a mod load a WB Save from the standard game?) or at least try and recreate the general concept a bit. I dunno how National Wonders will play out in an AND variant of it since it seems you can already build more than just two in a normal game? What with things like Glass smiths, breweries and so on on top of the usuals like Globe Theaters and National Parks.
Game's going pretty well too, with the possible exception of Montezuma declaring war on me (After two rejected tribute demands). Combination of Slavery whipping and Nationalism drafting saved me there, took a while to recover from the penalty but that's what Hereditary Rule is for yes?
Mongolia declared as well, and once I managed to stave them both off (Rifles vs maces, in my favor - they'd throw 20 ~ 30 units away to kill 3 to 5 of my rifles in forested terrain) I gathered up a force of cannons, rifles, and cavalry (Courtesy of begging Alex for some spare horses) and razed five of Monty's cities before making peace.
When they got back home, I had Infantry ready. Upgraded my units then declared on former-friend Alex and razed nine of his cities, and he still wants me to pay him for peace - on account because his power rating is higher than mine even though the bulk of his army is maces, cuirassiers, and longbows with muskets only just now starting to show up.
I think I'll just raze some more of his cities, seeing as he can't touch my stack wandering around anyway
Oh, and this was highly amusing:
I've got Oil and am getting Tanks soon, and he's threatening me with Knights
It was only a dozen turns ago I was rampaging in his territory razing his cities unchallenged, has he forgotten that already?
Playing BTS again after so much AND reminded me how much of the tech tree is skippable for such long periods of time as well
