Hi guys. I just installed this little gem of a game again after way too many years and after three or four patches it runs quite smootly (vanilla -> mge -> ai -> 64bit). So far, I can confirm cool ai behaviour with the given patch (Find city is NOT working for me). Squeezed out some tribute...

I might find some hours to rush this one, too, then.

My strat doesn't really work with restarts on. You need a lot of luck because you won't have the supporting troops/ships to hunt down the respawns.

You won't be able to send out your first troops before 1000BC anyways, so MP around -1500 (especially -1600...) seems to be a little off, yes. It might help you with the advances though.

I went for Mona -> Trade -> Poly, meanwhile built 12-15 cities. When Trade came in, rushbuilt MPE (with caras). Traded techs, got maps. (At this point decide if there is a need for Lighthouse.) When Poly was researched, switched to 70% tax and built tiremes/elephants in a 1:2 ratio, conquered...

I'm pretty sure I won't take part on this one here. I'll have exams till Feb 15th. So...

What? I didn't submit yet? Hm, better hurry up then. Files incoming!

Eco-Game at -1000 right now. As I said before I'm trying a complete different strategy as Peaster (actually the first I really learned when I started with deity 7 years ago) and stopped expanding when I was around 10 cities (I really dislike spamming cities and profit from the black citizen-bug...

Sorry for doublepost. I just reviewed my saves. I found a tribe in the hut on the eastern end of the river and a nomad in the southern forest. Had 5 cities at -3000 :eek: I don't like the luck-factor "hut". Is it possible to erase them for the next gotm?

First hut was a horsemen. I found at least one tribe in the first 1000 years. No techs from hut. I tried to rushbuild as many settlers as possible as soon as cities reach size 2. Mona is my first goal every game I start (5th tech then). I guess the rest is about micro. Changing Workers in the...

Nice one, like it :goodjob:

I found some notes of my Early Conquest Game. -2450 Mona -1600 MPE -775 Romans -750 Actecs -575 Indians -425 Americans I used the usual strategy here. As long as you get out you first wave somewhere around -1000 even non-vet Elis and Chariots are enough to secure the win. There will...

425BC was already done :rolleyes: I had no chance to play a turn over Christmas. Still stuck at 3000 BC. Probably I will wipe out the romans but beside this I'm planning to play a peace-game.

I did early conquest aswell :) I'm going to use an ELG game at -3000 for the comparison part now.

Against the AI Hanging Gardens + Michel + We love the King is much easier than pyramids growth. But I also remember a german player going for a heavy expand + pyramids build in republic. But that's more a PvP option. Man, he was good...
