Yeah, I wasn't sure how strong of a start this was relatively speaking, but I certainly agree the seafood was great for Hannibal. Looking around at other demos, I noticed a lot of them made references to images and files that weren't there. I'm guessing the storage limit is a big issue here...

Or, you could have gotten BW in just one hut and have discovered a tech worth more than all three of your huts combined. Or, maybe one AI discovered BW, Sailing, Agriculture, and AH. Or, maybe you started with two gold, hill/plains ivory for your starting loc, 5 flood plains, and a plains cow...

No, but you certainly are a better troll now. Congrats. Let's take your inferred point to its logical extreme. Let's face it, every map has its own randomness, that's why it's called a "random map generator". If you truly wanted to take out as many variables as possible (which I believe is...

Well, the way I look at it is that the goody huts favor the AI, since they are given so many more scouts on emperor. You raise a good point regardless, which is to note down the goodies...I think in this game I got nothing but gold, and it added up to around 160 gold or so.

I didn't look at the saves but I read all the comments here. Although I'm not a deity level player, I play enough 4x games to know that production is everything. Pop is great in that it supplements production. Tech is great because it supplements production. In this case, it seems you had...

lol, it would be misleading if I was not upfront that this would be a game without barbarians, and with huts and events. ;)

Classical Era: Highlights: - So, Ragnar shows his chutzpah and demands tribute 3 turns later. Free clams for him! These demands are constant from both of them, but given this is emperor and I am very aggressively REXing, I acquiesce to everything, mainly clams and cows which I end up...

Ancient Era Highlights: - Met Ragnar Turn 35. Hopefully there are others here so that he can attack someone else. Unfortunately not, so I will have to deal with him. - Seems I'm at the north end of a vast jungle southward...not good, means very worker intensive, no real cottaging until I...

Welcome to this demo! This is going to be the first demo of the strategy guide found here for Hannibal: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=461289 The aim of this demo is to get a feel for how Hannibal's qualities can be leveraged on large, continental/fractal Emperor maps. This...

Yeah, thanks! It helped to figure out why what I was doing wasn't necessarily working as intended. The thing about the horses in the BFC was that that was only the case bc u moved onto the wine, otherwise the starting location woulda required you make a 2nd settler. I guess settling on wine...

Will definitely do, after this guide gets a bit of feedback. There has to be a guide to do a demo of the guide...:D Actually I have some time now...I think I'll give it a go...:)

I'll have to run this carefully - when vanilla was still new I used to run a "stagnation" start because the forums here concluded that chopping was extremely efficient in getting early growth out. I definitely fit this description (found it in your first thread): The thread later on noted...

K, just got a chance to look these over (had to download the hidden 3.19 patch). Well, first of all, thanks for doing what I tend to have a lot of trouble doing :D
