Nice Start I'd Like to Share

[Ichabod]

Well, I've started a game last night and I randomed Tokugawa. When I saw his face on my screen i remembered the advice from the forum: "If you can keep up with your economy until gunpowder units, you're in a good position!".

So, I've started to think what I could do to manage this since Tokugawa traits are far from good traits for the economy.

Then, I've took a look at the start:



Problem solved, i guess...

So, I thought about sharing this with you... My gift to this amazing forum that improved my gameplay a lot!

Settings are fractal, emperor difficulty, normal speed, large world size, temperate climate, medium sea level. Patch is 3.17, I haven't patched my game yet, sorry...

Random events and tribal villages are on too and choose religions too...

I had to give up the map because of the large size, my computer was handling it poorly.

I'm eager to see players a lot better than me playing this!

Nice start. The river is kind of sad but you can't have everything.

Lack of an economic trait isn't going to stop Japan from being a tech fiend in this game.

Wauv with so much early money you just have to rush an AI with swords/HA's or even cats and phants, you could get them so soon the Ai won't stand a chance

Spoiler :

Monarch player here. I stole a worker from the civ just to the SW VERY early, making for a beautiful start. Copper in the BFC = Axe rush = whee free cities.

Random event: free shock promotion for axes. I turned the captured capital into a National Epic city and utterly destroyed Justinian with highly veteran Samurai - only to find that there was another continent full of AIs far more advanced than me. Holy crap. I checked demographics and found a civ with four times my pop. I was around last place (except Justinian) in everything.. holy friggin' crap wtf!? I knew Emperor would be hard, but WHAT.

You can take CS with the oracle with a start like this.

 

[DMOC]

Or you could afford the maintenance for 10 extra axemen.

It works well either way.

 

[TheMeInTeam]

You can also afford expanding to > 10 cities BC.

Holy cow man!

That's gonna be one outstanding capital!

Meh, it's OK I guess .
