Immortal University 103 - Churchill

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:



The following settings were used to create this map:



And the Demographics for people to spot any info they can:



Before we start, here's the copy & paste bit where I get to pretend that I'm TMIT:

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. The intention of this and any other game thread I post is to get better. Play whatever level you need in order to improve.

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.

We also have an initial Immortal/Normal autosave which is much more convenient since you can avoid all the worldbuilder shenanigans. It comes with my personal seal of approval (not least as my worldbuilder edits may contain hideous game-destroying errors that could cause your computer to explode).

Reserved.


Map details:Immortal University uses the same method in creating games as Nobles' Club, so here are the Nobles' Club guidelines on how to add techs to the barbs:When posting, please keep any map & AI revealing details in spoilers.


Have fun!

No vassal states and no random events. Does that mean there are huts?

Thanks for noticing.

My mistake, I wanted it to say that there's no huts and no events and I marked wrong box when creating new game to see how the code should look. Thanks, fixed!

Move the Warrior 1 SW and same with settler. Then move warrior on the PH. If reveal nothing, settle in original spot. if there's any kind of food though then I'm settling on that PH instead of the coast. Don't want to get cornered early.

Since Churchill starts with mining and fishing, it seems like the timing would work for SIP, worker first while teching Bronze Working, and chop two workboats (maybe a third for exploring).

I saw Absolute Zero doing it few times, last time in his Victoria Let's Play: start with workboat & BW, and when city grows to size 2 start on worker and whip the worker into workboat when BW is done. We have all prerequisites here, maybe that's the way to go?

EDIT: Well, maybe not 3food tile in 1st ring for fast growth if we SiP. Hmm...

A modified version of that can work pretty well. WB takes 10 turns on a grass hill forest, then 3 turns to grow on clams, then 6 turns before you whip the worker. Probably this is the best approach since it saves a forest compared to worker first.

You can do the start on WB-> whip worker thing anyway. Working the unimproved sea food tile is just fine, until the first border pop, because it gives an extra commerce which speeds up BW, just so we can immediately whip the worker after anarchy.

Yep, it's pretty insane. Second partial game of 2013 for me but still... maybe that's why I only managed to get 5 workers.

@ Kossin:
The maintenance in Hastings and Nottingham is over the roof. Why not building courthouses?

I don't know

lol @Kossin

Breaking immesely the already great 300 bpt by 1AD and puzzled by the courthouse enigma.

Anyhow, nice partial round.

1AD, Immortal diff

100 AD update

880 AD update

Any criticism and opinions on my position most welcome! =)

Impressive Kossin

@ Izuul

1 hour? I think it was 13 hours lol

Not use to AM/PM

Actually I only glanced through it in hurry (again) and wrote without confirming first. Still I need a week for that!
