AI's don't trade most techs when they only have one trading partner (you) until they are at friendly i think. You could create a vassal from the cities you have taken. Your vassal will have no problem trading with you and you can make him research the techs you want.

I think Sury has a good chance. He is a good allround AI and his position isn't bad.

It's a fractal deity map on normal speed.

Started a map as Egypt. Sumeria put his second city to my east, the HRE put his second city to my west(holy city as well i think) and Ethiopia put his second city to my south-west. Never been surrounded like that before.

Sury, DG and Gil will probably do well, but a lot depends on what religions the AI's adopt.

I started this game as well and in my game Pacal was in a different religion from all the others. He is pretty much out of the game after wars with France and the HRE. Diplomacy is certainly not one of the AI's strong points. I was hoping that Victoria would start a war with Pericles after...

She doesn't have the best starting position but my money is on Victoria.

Out of curiosity i switched the starting positions of Memhed and Ragnar. Mehmed expanded well, he settled 13 cities. Ragnar DOW'd Mansa but won nothing. Cyrus DOW'd Mansa and vassalized him. Mehmed DOW'd Ragnar and vassalized him. Toku DOW'd Washington and won nothing, they made peace. Toku...

hahaha This reminds me of one of the first games i ever played where Ghandi attacked and pretty much destroyed me. For some time after that i thought he was really dangerous. Btw this is very entertaining, ty for this thread.

I wish i could see what level people play on when reading threads like this. Surely it matters when choosing your favorite leader? The choice for me is between Hatty and Willem. Egypts UU may be strong but in my experience you only have a 1 in 5 chance of getting horses in your BFC (actually...

Maybe i would value PHI more if i was a better player. For now as a player who has only won maybe 10 games on deity i find that the first 100 turns are the most troublesome. CRE loses most of its value in the later game but for me it's just too important for blocking of land from the AI's early...

Am i the only one who prefers CRE over PHI?

If an AI is close i will almost always put my second city towards them. I normally use my second city to build barb-defense units (warriors most of the time). For the third city i try to get a good commerce spot.

I never found religions intentionally. I might get Taoism because i'm the first to Philosophy but that's it. Building The Parthenon (aesthetics) and The Sistine Chapel (music) are more important to get and i don't have time to take another research-road first. Usually i stop researching after...

I would probably move the warrior S-W and unless something great is revealed settle 1 North. Tech order hunting-AH and if no horses nearby and not boxed in maybe TW or archery. In my experience it's only a 20% chance to get horses/copper in your capitol, and you only have time to research one...
