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. It is now hosted by professors Ignorant Teacher and myself, TMIT. Are you ready for the U?
This is the 41st beatdown on the AI, in case you're keeping track.
We will uphold the university's traditions...smacking down the hapless AI!
Our leader this time around:
Also known as the anti-rush cow, this guy is massed defensive overkill with a little power GPP thrown in just in case you don't need to kill 34096830487 attacking units early. Make do.
Here's the start:
No shuddering with the udder this time, the cow glitch is averted. Not that a bunch of non-fish seafood is exciting, but at least it's more than say +3 food surplus after improving all of your specials X_X. Random fractal map w/ random opposition as usual. I didn't even hack your colors this time!
Huts and Events are off. If you don't like it, just plop 4 warriors somewhere in world builder and give yourself 60 gold to simulate huts, and just delete your capitol and put 3 archers there to simulate events.
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.
The save!

The initial autosave for those who want to duck having to add barbs or possibly use proper colors. It's IMM/Norm no huts/events.

Although, I'm considering this my last Emporer game, if all goes well I might try Immortal for the next IU.

I won't be participating in this since I'm not yet done with Ragnar.
) and I ran out of steam after taking the floodplain city and the capital. I managed to get him down to 1 city around the time I crawled to the Aesthetics-Alpha trade and took peace for Asoka's techs. 
This is already my second attempt!
