My first Monarch victory through Diplomacy 1874AD!!! So I'm proud of myself for being able to go up a difficulty level and manage to win even though my play was super poor. I learned a few lessons out of all of this, and I think had it not been for a good starting location that this would...

So my turnset is finished, I stopped after 10 turns only because I was starting to second guess my micro; plus I wasn't sure what to do with one of the German cities we are about to sack and which front to attack on after that. We've managed to capture 3 German cities and razed another...

So, I'll grab the save when I get home from work tonight and take a look at the situation to assess what's going on fully. I had been hoping that the war wouldn't start during my turn around, but seeing as I need to get more practice with early rushes, etc this is a good thing. If anyone has...

NC CLVI - Sury has been posted. Hope you guys enjoy this one.

I can't comment too much on optimal starting strategies with this one, I'm a bit too familiar with the surrounding land. Although, looking at this initial SS, my best guess is to move the Scout 2S1E to see what opens up. I think that would open up the square 2S of our Settler, plus a few of...

If no one volunteers, and my map choosing skills aren't horrific with Justinian, I can take up Sury as well dalamb. I want to give it a few more days to see what people's opinions of the map I just posted are.

D'oh, this is what happens you post at work. Sorry, I feel like an idiot now, I'll attach them now. FIXED...Saves should be attached to the original post. Sorry about that everyone

Justinian I is up and running.

I'm torn about where to actually settle this. If we SIP, we get cows and gold in the BFC, plus a FP and a few hills. Yet it leaves out the pigs down south that could possibly be picked up by another city. The other option is to settle 1S, that picks up both the cow and the pig, while still...

Thank you to everyone who played this map and gave feedback on it, I learned a fair amount from it. I'll keep a closer eye on food and resources with the next map, I actually forgot how much everyone rightfully hates plains cows

So, this post will probably just be me talking aloud and figuring things out. This difficulty is 2 lvls higher than what I'm currently playing on, which is 2 levels higher than my previous times, so I'm a little over my head with all of the strategies behind this, yet I'm going to try and see...
