The Immortal University III - Who will lead the French?

silverbullet · Apr 18, 2008

So following the success of the previous 2 threads, we decided to try the french this time to avoid rushing Louis the 3rd time.

Some people prefer Napoleon, and some prefer Louis.
This is the time to cast your vote and also the map preference.
The game will start this weekend.

If you have not participated in the last threads, you are welcome to join.
The idea of this thread is for players who want to learn to win on Immortal level.
Play your game until the point you are not sure anymore, and then post a summary and ask for feedback. I know it definitely helped me to win Immortal, and I never did before this threads. Luckily we have some generous Deity players participating here.

Napoleon/Big and Small

Maybe I'll finally get a chance for musketeer drafting.

Quotey · Apr 18, 2008

Napoleon! I've never played a game as the guy.

And I'd never draft Musketeers.

patagonia · Apr 18, 2008

Didn't join the first two, but I'll give this a bash. I need to sharpen up on my warmongering.

My vote goes for Louis/Big & Small, but Napoleon's also fine by me.

Louis, Pangae. Just interested if there are players who dare to go for a wonder spam on this map.

brades · Apr 18, 2008

If louis gets the nod I'll give this a try as the wonderspammer, my finish date I'm sure will be later than the warmongerers but I'm hopeful I can win. I'm actually finishing up my first immortal game with ramses II and I think I can win it so I'm certainly used to wonderspamming. My vote goes for a map that isn't continuous so that the warmongerers don't have it so easy. After your first or 2nd vassal those games are in the bag, but if there's an ocean that definately throws a kink in the domination plans. Maybe continents?

Napoleon = easy (his traits are good). I vote Louis, fractal. Plus we can avenge the Louis rush that we're all so fond of :lol:

tycoonist · Apr 18, 2008

napoleon is much better. my vote goes for him

lol I totally agree King Louis needs some payback.

NintendoTogepi · Apr 18, 2008

I like DeGaulle the best, oddly enough.

DMOC · Apr 18, 2008

I'd like to join this game. A second immortal game on top of the one I'm already running on the forums might be good practice.

As a leader, I would prefer Napoleon. Although if DeGaulle gets chosen, that would be fine with me. I'd just run a wonder economy.

JBossch · Apr 18, 2008

I won my first immortal game with Louis on a continents map, isolated start, culture win. I still vote for him because I just warmongered like crazy in the last game.
My map preference is hemispheres or big and small, anything short of an archipelago that will get us building boats.

Gliese 581 · Apr 18, 2008

I would like to join this game if I have time, I'm getting closer to finish the first challenge. .
I don't care which leader, but why wasn't De Gaulle considered?

Sleepless · Apr 18, 2008

My vote is for Nap as we've part used the traits of the other French leaders. De Gaulle is Agg/Ind (I think) and we played with Monte. Might even try a peaceful rex with the Org trait. Depends on anyone being near taking land that I feel should be mine.

JBossch · Apr 18, 2008

De Gaulle is ind/chm I think. Which is good too I suppose.
As a matter of fact, I am changing my vote to DeGaulle. I need to get over a bit of CRE-addiction anyway.

BurN · Apr 18, 2008

I think Louis deserves revenge, so my vote goes to him. :lol:

Map type doesn't matter that much to me, fractal favored.

Don't joke.

My vote is also for DeGaulle, but I suppose Louis deserves some justice.

silverbullet · Apr 19, 2008

So Louis wins by a thin margin after vote splitting in the napoleon camp between him De-Gaul.
