WHEOOHRNY
Hey there, civvers! It's that time again. Time for the AIs to run and hide. Time to separate the men from the boys. Immortal University is here once more.
Whether you are a battlescarred civ veteran, or a fresh faced rookie, the U is open to all, on one condition: that you pledge to solemnly uphold the proud traditions enshrined in these distinguished, marbled halls: smacking down the hapless AI!
And who better to deal the aforementioned smackdown than this rather imposing bruiser:
Okay, so Fred may not look like much, but he's one of my favourite leaders, if not my absolute favourite. Why? The traits, of course (well you knew it wasn't the uniques). PHI and ORG each do a hell of a lot to help you win and both together is almost unfair. Despite his awesomeness, Freddie doesn't seem to get much respect, probably because of the uniques. They certainly do suck. He doesn't see a lot of action in the S&T forum, probably for that very reason.
Starting position:
Not exactly inspiring, is it?
This is an all-singing, all-dancing, all-random Fractal map, untouched by human hand. It goes without saying that huts and events are off, so I won't say it.
And finally, the always popular copy and paste section:
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.
If you don't like messing about in worldbuilder (and who does?) then I recommend the initial autosave (Immortal/Normal) rather than the zip. You know it makes sense.
Have at it!

) if I do an Early Rush, it is because I have horses: I like better faster but weaker Mounted Units than slower but stronger Melee Units (after all, the name says it: Rush!); so Mining, The Wheel and Animal Husbandry before like anything else, and Horse Riding before Bronze Working in most of the cases (Shaka might be an exception, even more if the Impi was a unit a little better taking cities);
from Scientists.
