Prince
Welcome to 29th edition of Monarch Student Prime! This week, we use a leader that in the AIs hands is fairly weak, but in ours is a pretty solid leader:
Roosevelt is industrious and organized, meaning he can do a little bit of everything. His expansion is improved due to organized and he can set up courthouses at a discount. On the flipside, he can also wonderspam to get some other nice bonuses. A fairly well-rounded and solid leader that doesn't see a lot of forum action, probably because america has three leaders.
His UU is the Navy Seal:
A marine that also has march. Kinda crappy, to be honest. It would have been pretty nice had it been march on a infantry, but marines are not really used in primary stacks, and even when doing amphibious attacks the marines just heal on the transports. It also comes a little late, when victory is near, so it doesn't usually get to be used that much.
His UB is the Mall:
A supermarket replacement that provides a 20% increase to gold and +1 happiness from the mass media wonders. The bonuses it gets are great, with solid increases to both health and happy caps, as well as more gold. The downside is that it does come very late, and you generally will only be building these when going space. It's a great building, but it takes a while to get it.
The Start:
Un-irrigated corn and some silk. Where's the resources?
Most likely there is another one in the BFC. At least we have some riverside!
Another fractal map, seems like the best choice for this type of thing.
Huts and Events are OFF, add events in the custom scenario if you wish. (just make sure to cover the top part with your hand so you don't see the AIs )
And a cut-and-paste from Meatbuster's Monarch Student games:
Save the file and place it in your Documents/BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Then unzip it into your Documents/BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Then use Playing a scenario to play your desired level. Or use custom scenario if you want to remove huts and/or events.
Recommended Checkpoints:
*1000BC or 1AD
*500AD
*1000AD or Liberalism
*Victory!
Please remember to put the journals of your adventures inside spoiler tags.
For Monarch+ players please try to add archery back to the barbs in WB. If you don't, AIs will capture cities with archers very early in the game, which is no fun. If you prefer easymode barbs, that's fine too, just don't go wondering why an AI captured a barb city in the very early BCs!
Thanks go to TMIT for making an excellent map creation guide and to mjg5591 for getting this series back on track!
And finally, the save!

And finally, the save!
, Wheel, Pottery (what else am I going to do with that riverside grassland?), BW (I might want to kill Pacal, he turned out to be uncomfortably close even though I met him late. And Slavery and Chopping are always useful, especially with events off.)
Nukes are so fun. Every one of his cities got double nuked. I'm 2% shy for Dom, but with border pops I think I will make it. But, just for fun, let's nuke one of the most hated AIs in the game... 20 times...
