Hello.
Welcome to the 2nd installment of OCCC MarkII. Slight delay getting the game out...playtested one map and found it overly difficult for prince, so I tweaked the settings and rolled another map.
This week we play as Boudica/Celts on prince difficulty. Boudica starts with hunting and mystcism. Her traits are aggressive/charismatic. Not the best OCC traits, but good for our preferred VC of conquest. If you want to go conquest, make sure you keep coastal access. Boudica's UB is the dun...free guerrilla1 promo to eligible units. Her UU is the gallic warrior...a swordsman that starts with free guerrilla1 promo. That can be very powerful if you can get gallic warriors to guerrilla3 promo for hills defense/attack bonuses and especially 50% withdrawl chance.
To take advantage of the UU/UB, the map is global highlands. There are at least 2 continents, so you will have to balance quick conquest of your own continent with keeping tech pace to invade overseas. I think this will provide a good challenge...although it will probably make for a longer game than normal on OCC.
Other map settings: no huts / no events / vassals ON / dense peaks / massive continents / ridgeline mountains / high seas / rocky. Standard map size with 6 AI opponents.
Preferred VC is conquest

I've attached a zip file with worldbuilder saves for prince and monarch. The prince version can be used for prince- and the monarch can be used for monarch+...I gave the AI archery on the monarch file. If you play on imm/deity, the AI will not start with ALL their bonus techs, but it's close enough since they tech so fast anyway.
To play, simply download and unzip it into your BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Start the game, and load your favorite MOD (or not). Select "Play Scenario", and look for "OCCC Boudica prince" (or "OCCC Boudica Monarch" if you want the AI to start with its usual Archery bonus tech). Choose your level/speed/etc... If you choose to play at monarch+ you will need to go into worldbuilder after the game is started and give the barbarians archery unless you want the AI to roll over barb cities easily. There is no way to add barb archery in the wb file.
I look forward to writeups of better OCC conquest players than myself. Bloodthirsty warmongering is not my normal style. I could learn a lot from a good conquest write-up.
