Hello all and welcome to the Immortal University! This series was started a long time ago to move a group of the forum's players to the next level. Are you ready for the U?
This is the 27th in the storied series. Not steroid series. At least, we've never failed a test.
We will uphold the university's traditions...smacking down the hapless AI!
Our leader this time around:
Another underrated UU, this thing serves the sweeping role quite well and just might have something to say to the ottoman UU heads up
. The UB isn't exactly top notch either but it's a free specialists, do with it what you will.
Here's the start:
As usual, it's the first start I generate on a random fractal map. I left huts on since I am now rotating them on/off each IU. As for the start itself...wow. Pretty nice for a first roll. Let's hope our neighbors are as forgiving!
To play, just extract the WB save file into your worldbuilder saves directory, then play it. Use custom scenario if you want some extra settings to tickle your fancy. This series was designed for people learning immortal, so most people here will be at that level or trying to attain it, although deity players are welcome also. Hell, if you want to play this on NOBLE, go ahead, but I'm not peeling off the AI bonuses. The intention of this and any other game thread I post is to get better. Play whatever level you need in order to improve. Just remember, there are immortal bonuses and that's not going to change unless you WB edit it.
If you are aspiring IMM+, try to remember to add archery back to the barbs in WB. Every time you don't, a deity AI will kill a kitten, although there are a lot of kittens so it's not the end of the world if you prefer easymode barbs .
I do request people to list their difficulty and speed. In terms of updates, well nobody follows that anyway. Post in the manner you feel comfortable. Typical comparison dates are 1 AD, liberalism, and victory/defeat, as well as any major events. If in doubt, go with that.
Without further ado, the ZIP file:

Went up the Aesthetics line, got Parthenon + GL + NE in the capital. Spawned a GA as my first GP and used him to culture bomb Marseilles to get the Sheep, as Shaka settled the Rice + Sheep kinda early in my game while I settled around it. Spawned a GS later, bulbed Philo, founded Taoism. Working on the next GP, still don't have an Academy in Paris. Got to Music for the free GA, just jumped into a GA for some civics switches (HR, OR). Also popped Iron in the capital randomnly, much appreciated.
