Pretty much everyone agrees the best unique units are Quecha/Immortal/War Chariot/Fast Worker/Praetorian/Conq, but I'm more curious how people would rank the rest of them. I'd maybe put the Hwatcha next cause Koreans are my fav civ :) Terrace is best building, after that in no particular order...

heh yeah they always want you to switch to environmentalism. I actually had to look up what it does and holy cow is it terrible. I can't possibly imagine a scenario where it'd be the best eco civic. In some cases you probably just straight up lose the game if your forced into that.

I've always wanted to try a huge marathon game like this cause I like playing with corps but then I decide against it cause I only play normal speed and I can't be bothered learning how marathon works lol, is it that much different from normal? Post edited to remove unclear wording as we have...

this whole discussion looks stupid because trying to compare different approaches on such a short timeframe is pointless. there's tradeoffs with different approaches but which one is better depends on how good of a position you'd be in if you played on to say 1AD. I could build only settlers and...

Submitted a game with a score of 379k, more than doubling the current record of 170k. Ended t157 with 358 pop. 400k probably possible if I had farmed over my cottages and milked Hanging Gardens even longer, but I was so afraid I would accidentally end the game too early so I built it ~10t before...

Trying out a custom mapscript... casual octuple food capital :)

Have you tried true alway-war? all ais are also at war with each other, should be easier than vanilla always war so you could start with that

an old botm with genghis, I had an army of triple-promoted cuirs and my target peace-vassaled to the superpower ai the exact turn I was going to attack, exited straight to desktop

Here's my t71, played kind of fast so some things could've been microed better probably but it's still a much better position

my gut says agri - mining - bw - pottery, going bronze working and ah before pottery will put a lot of strain on your economy but I suppose settling on silk helps. Curious to see what other people think

pretty sure this is impossible to beat current record of t49 using catherine. They founded 9 cities total (one settler from hut) along with having creative trait, it's just impossible to get that many settlers that fast without IMP or huts. Since it's only warlord you'll be extremely lucky to...

Why though? How are you supposed to guess which specific action you're doing is wrong and what specific action you should be doing instead, without seeking outside guidance? That sounds like an incredibly time-consuming and inefficient way to improve at anything.

demigod 1ad

Looks like a fun map for my favorite leader :) demigod t60

this looks very wrong, only 4 pop and only 1 fishing boat so far which isn't in range of the capital, did capital not make workboat first?
