Immortal University 70 - Isabella

Habitus · Dec 31, 2011, 07:35 AM

Greetings, Immortals and would-be Immortals (and indeed any other players of any level), and welcome to the Immortal University.

Here is our Leader:

Here's the opening scene:

Map rolled with the following settings:

There is a little surprise in this map, not 100% sure how it will play out but have fun all

Habitus · Dec 31, 2011, 07:37 AM

With this I've caught up the missed game and we'll be back to every other week

Hoping the surprise works how I want for some fun, so what do people think for the start?

Gumbolt · Dec 31, 2011, 07:52 AM

Lacking food and way too much plains but I see a grassland in the fog and perhaps something else to the SW where a food resource may be. I might take the settler walkies.

For me warrior 1SW and try my luck from there.

That looks lousy. Plains, only one GH, no 3H tile for leveraging EXP and no prereq for AH.
I would move the warrior 1NE and, if he discovers 3 gem deposits, settle 1NW. Otherwise SIP and pray.

I agree, but I'd even move for a single wet corn or wheat. This capitol is pretty rough and most of the possible food to the south is of the 3 or 4 variety...not ideal.

Archredbeard · Dec 31, 2011, 03:51 PM

lol, this capital should NOT be named Madrid, its real name is Godawfull.

It qualifies to some of the worst capitols i have seen

If you've tampered with the map, hence the SURPRISE, please tell us in advance so I don't waste 10-20 turns of my life before I realize I'm wasting my time.

This is a pretty annoying map :-/

Ummm, so really this is titled immortal university, when in reality it's something else.

Thanks for the heads-up turin

Turin Turumarth · Dec 31, 2011, 05:58 PM

I'm still going to play it, because it's not going to ruin the game, but it can change early wars. Anyways, knowing tokugawa, he's not going to progress farther than civil service anyway :P

Mylene · Dec 31, 2011, 06:09 PM

Can change the game

...Toku takes all near barb cities easily, becomes big quick (now that you mention it, he had more cities than Cathy), vassals a good techer..no need for being smart, he can let things roll if it goes well.

Keilah · Dec 31, 2011, 07:34 PM

what, seriously? That's lame.

Spoiler:

me no likey.

TheMeInTeam · Dec 31, 2011, 07:46 PM

Now you know how I felt when I made a minor civ in the games I hosted

Turin Turumarth · Dec 31, 2011, 08:03 PM

Lol, the shame of messing with settings is IRREVERSIBLE

Dirk1302 · Dec 31, 2011, 09:37 PM

edit: Misread what was really going on.

gcaliber · Jan 01, 2012, 12:48 AM

I can't even get a decent start going to do much of anything.

Spoiler:

obsolete · Jan 01, 2012, 02:33 AM

Had some time to burn this weekend so gave it a shot anyway, though still don't like it when people TAMPER with what is to be a standard map.

I even forgot about Izzy's UU, and since my over-whealming position & monster UU stack means the game's 99.9% won... I'm not going to even bother finishing this one out from my position.

Next map please...

Turin Turumarth · Jan 01, 2012, 11:12 AM

Immortal University needs like a schedule like Noble's Club. The games are far too few to really be much of a series.

Mylene Deity Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Pangea Posts: 4,001	This is a pretty annoying map :-/ Spoiler: Low food, except in locations towards Cathy..which forces to settle close to her and far away from Capi, but those spots have no commerce. Horse and Copper both have no food (horse only 3f sheeps), leaves us without good 2nd/3rd spots to settle. Aaaand if one goes BW first, you are really screwed. I didn't cos i wanted AH and skipped Agri at first, but still..was in the mood for some relaxed Imm gaming, but here it's like pulling teeth and more suited for paying close attention ~~

stimpyhoek Warlord Join Date: Aug 2010 Posts: 169	harumph Spoiler: I did try.... No commerce... If I did it again I would guess u have to oracle something. Land is pretty flat. Only beakers I could get were scientist in cap. About doubled my tech when I settled the scientist. Whoever made this map is an evil person. I made 2 city that shared food with cap. Anyway got to about 500bc and just couldnt see any way to progress. Will follow with interest.

Spoiler: I think you have to rush catherine pretty early to have much hope on this map since your land is terrible and her land is incredibly good, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Not sure I can get a horse archer rush going early enough to be of much use since tech rate early on is very, very slow with the land being so terrible.
