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 30th in the storied series.
We will uphold the university's traditions...smacking down the hapless AI!
Our leader this time around:
One of the most competent leaders in the AI hands. His traits are solid and the UU can make a huge difference in the late game. His UB is a resourceless transport that can enter foreign waters without Open Borders, allowing some tricks with Marines.
Here's the start:
Upholding the tradition started by TMIT, this is the first Fractal map I generated. Corn is always nice, even if it's not irrigated. Apparently there's coast next to the warrior. Maybe moving the settler is an option, depending on what moving the warrior reveals.
Huts are on this time. Events are off by default.
Copy and Paste of the doctrine:
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.
PS. I'm making the jump to Immortal now and was missing new episodes of this series. I talked to TMIT and he's cool with me hosting it.

and some decent food/production balance is solid if unspectacular. With FIN I like the riverside.
