    HOF Challenge Series III Discussion

    In my opinion, Challenge IV should seek to have far fewer games at the settler level. The Lucky huts require you reroll the first 50 turns time after time after time in order to have a competitive score. But the advantages that getting 2 workers and 2 settlers from early huts is too much of an...

    How does going on STRIKE work?

    I have noticed that settlers don't seem to ever be deleted when on strike. Moreover, no matter how big the strike, or how long, it never seems to take ALL your units. Noticed this while going for early domination wins when my economy got up (down?) to -221 per turn at 0%.

    How I won My First Deity Game (and how you can too!)

    internet/space is abusive on deity? Wow - I'm learning so much in this thread. And yes, I know that this type of strategy has been posted before. But after 4 years, pretty much everything has been posted here before: and if no one cares / finds value in these types of posts, I guess there's...

    How I won My First Deity Game (and how you can too!)

    OK, but your JC example - does it work on: Fractal Standard map size Normal Speed Barbs on Randomly selected opponents.

    Well, the AI is not coded to make a Globe drafting city. If you abuse one, is your victory still "pure"? What about abusing your knowledge of how the AI's will react? Wouldn't Random Personalities be a more "Pure" win?

    How I won My First Deity Game (and how you can too!)

    I'd Imagine it would work on prince too, but then you can take out the part about worrying about barbs. And the part about needing to bulb theology: you can just research it. And the part about worrying about shaka or monty . . . or anyone. They all suck at prince. Hell, you can probably...

    How I won My First Deity Game (and how you can too!)

    Wow: surprised you feel that way. Taking advantage of a game mechanic = selecting opponent, number of opponents and map size? Why not just say the same about using a globe drafting city? Or about playing anything other than Random Personalities? Hell, I would submit that playing on Marathon...

    How I won My First Deity Game (and how you can too!)

    How to win at Deity. With civ 5 just days away, I wanted to quench my desire to best Civ 4 on the hardest setting - Deity. In order to say you really beat it, IMO, the setting have to be: Fractal Standard map size Normal Speed Barbs on Randomly selected opponents. Random events...

    Immortal Challenge: "So Be It"

    Thank Duckweed: I always appreciate reading your insights and seeing your strategies at work. TheMeinTeam too normally: I just think he's caught the SC2 itch and needs to scratch it for a while :)

    Immortal Challenge: "So Be It"

    I haven't opened WB yet - so I don't know who / where the other 3 are, I posted this after seeing the neighbor to the north thinking it would be an interesting example game.

    Immortal Challenge: "So Be It"

    Sure - sounds good to me. But I'm sure some of the people will want to play through their own game. If we want to have one main game that we carry through on a cookbook style, that would work.
