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 37th in this storied series.
We will uphold the university's traditions...smacking down the hapless AI!
Our leader this time around:
People tend to like this guy and the Janissary. Let's see what he can do here.
Here's the start:
As usual, this is the first Fractal map I generated. Do I need to say much? (Seriously, move the warrior before settling).
As requested, I am providing two WB Files: one of them has huts and events on and the other has them both disabled. If you wish to play with mixed settings, just start a custom scenario. Let me know if there's something wrong with the saves.
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.
Worldbuilder files are our friends and they let us do amazing things, like playing the same game on different levels and speeds or even switching leaders if we're willing to do some extra work. However, such files have a flaw that only becomes apparent when you start to use them on levels beyond and including Monarch: there's no information regarding the barbs in them, which means that high level barbs automatically lose Archery and whatever extra techs they may have had. I have no idea how to fix that. You can play with easy barbs (and not that easy because, except for you, everybody starts with Archery and they will get it in no time) or open the Worldbuilder and manually add Archery to the barbs. It's up to you.
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.

.
package: montry declared on Joao, bis declared on monty, I declare on biz (I had monty at friendly for most of this game). Biz puts off AL for some reason and I grind the hell out of his cities with stack-split infantry/cannon (working on arty). Eventually monty caps to Joao, I ask for 1 gold from Joao (it works), and cap bismark after taking most of his good cities.
.). After that I quickly declared/capped monty.
. Not to be discouraged, one more wealth spree brings us fission/rocketry, and Ragnar doesn't have fission yet. I declare and drop 36 uncontested ICBMs on him, frying practically every unit he has. On turn 1 of the war, he doesn't want to talk. 2 turns later, cap. I didn't need a cap though, I nuked his pop down enough that I had UN anyway
