I'm glad you had fun; that was my goal.Paul#42 said:First Quickie for me. Was fun but took much longer (2 hours) than I expected.
That's too late to profit from the extra food....Paul#42 said:I did not scout at all, but had a granary first (in 3100). 4-turn-Settler factory was going in 2550.
I figured I could get to Republic for more food fast enough.
Went for the Slingshot and got it in 1550. 1525 we were Republic and had ~6 2-turn-worker-factories.
And then I discovered all those floodplains...
That must have hurt...Paul#42 said:1050 Barb horseman attacks my undefended workers. Kills ~7 of them before he pillages Avignon...
But if the lands around were bad, your tactic would be superior on such a map.Paul#42 said:The end: in 1000 BC we have 41 workers.
If I had expanded as usual with this land around I should have had a hundred...
Not even beating Regentman?????Ginger_Ale said:Maybe I didn't expand enough...I just ended up with 4 cities, 25 workers. I didn't even beat RegentMan.
Glad you liked it.Ginger_Ale said:This was fun, even though I know I won't win. Really showed the power of workers.
That really really must have hurt.Nata said:25 workers and way too many cities.
One major setback was in the beginning, when Aztec warrior popped a hut nearby, releasing 2 warriors, who plundered granary in my capital with 2 turns left to finish..
I'm not sure if Republic was beter than no-republic. research costs money which could be used for upkeep cost. OTOH the increased food under Republic might tip the balance. But only if you get a short anarchy.Nata said:I established 4-turner rather late because of this, in about 2000BC, and built mostly settlers. I should have switched to workers earlier.
Also I went for Republic slingshot and got it in 1475BC, and revolted with just 2 turns of anarchy, and after that stopped research. If not for that, I would have even less workers. I cash-rushed a lot of them plus there was more food.

Twonky said:I ended up with 60 workers and 2 warriors - I couldn´t disband those to squeeze out another worker, like I did with the others I had. Near the deadline I also poprushed some workers, as I did with settlers in the beginning.:
