this is a very interesting spoiler! how could india lose the eastern cow!?!? this is too big a butterfly effect. :)

you can always redline an enemy unit by some other regular units (have you seen a tank lose to a spearman while reducing the spearman to 1hp? ;) ) personally i never used them and didn't build it in my game.

i just want to bring this topic up again since no one answered it yet due to its insignificance. but i am quite worried about it.

for a 20k goal, has anyone thought about getting the construction asap so that we can get the aqueduct to support 6 more workers (+12 shields or so)? that is quite a boost. maybe we should consider a slingshot to construction instead of republic unless there's some way else around.

starting region seems to be very productive... a good place for 20k again. :)

i wasn't aware of the lack of horse until i had too many immortals and wanted to build something that requires more shields so that i can have fewer pop-up messages asking me what to build next. :)

this shouldn't be too much of a spoiler since everyone should see that pretty well.. and you need to have the map of the starting continent anyway to view this thread. the lack of resource doesn't bother me at all since we have immortal. :)

Roman isn't that aggressive in my game and i guess it has something to do with the fact that my warrior killed the warrior accompanying Roman's 2nd settler and later on i got one worker from Roman when negotiating for peace. :) i am wondering whether this also happened to other people here. but...

I had almost the same setup as Grogs. and our QCS data are also quite similar. fortunately my Persepolis was only struck by disease once. :) My 20K CITY BUILDS: 2190 BC: Temple 1075BC: Oracle 630 BC: Colossus 70 BC: Great Library 50 AD: Library 270 AD hanging garden 400 AD: Lighthouse...

great game and sound strategy, LulThyme! I enjoy reading your write-up. have you tried 20k with PTW?

Now that you mention it, it seems the river does become narrower as it goes up NE and broader to the SE.

is there a way to judge where the ocean is based on the river? i want to get the 2nd city on a tile next to sea and river square very early on. this means maybe i have to reveal the fog asap and my warrior needs to know where to go...

Methos, what research sequence and building sequence are you planning for ur culture city? :goodjob:

what's the chance of getting a spot for ur second city that is close to your capitol, adjacent to a river, enjoying decent terran, next to sea?

i played two test games with a 20k goal. in one game the AI got the great library before i even started it. i build temple 1st, oracle 2nd, and hanging garden 3rd. i did not even build the Colossus. so which wonders are OK to miss? colossus? oracle or hanging garden? It seems even if i do build...
