Played this map. Won a turn 304 DV. Thanks for the map, I enjoyed it. Might try an immortal challenge next time.

If you want to use it to farm exp for your units and steal occasional workers. You can get well promoted units with little/no risk before sending them off to fight. Otherwise declare very early, steal a worker and then make peace. Don't declare again on a CS or you'll get a big diplo hit with...

Won a SV on turn 357. Forgot to take a SS before quitting.

Downloaded the map to try. I can normally win fairly often on emperor, but I've never tried playing as the Ottoman's as their bonuses have never appealed to me. Shall see how it goes. Edit: So I played through the first 83 turns (till NC in the cap.)

I would be interested in trying one.

I like Small maps because my computer never really seems to slow down on them, even in the late modern/future age. However, I do miss the increased diplomacy options when theirs more AIs. One of the thing I love about playing Earth maps is with so many opponents, someone is always willing to...

Alexander seems pretty good. Seems to have a decent tech rate, empire, etc and seems pretty good at war (against other AIs). That said, I always love (hate) when Monty's in my games.

If this is a joke thread, Bravo. :goodjob: If this is a serious thread, then :( is all I'll say.

Yeh, wiping the AI out so you control all the vote yourself :)

If you can steal a worker early (say with exploring warrior), then make peace a few turns later, build immortals and redeclare, you've likely done yourself a favor. If you declare abit later and steal a worker while your building up your attacking force, you've shot yourself in the foot...

One-Two units per city is usually fine for cities that are inside your empire. Cities on the outskirts generally need several more defenders, especially if they're bordering an aggressive AI (monty, shaka, ragnar, etc). You also need to keep your power rating up. The easiest and most...

Swap Aggressive AI for Always War :lol:

Intended mechanics are well intended, not exploits.

I think Liberating cities is +1.5. Because when I liberate 1 city, I get +1 for liberating cities. When I liberate 2 cities, I get a +3 for liberating cities. When I liberate 3 cities, I get a +5 for liberating cities (IIRC). I've liberated more than 3 in the past, but can't remember...

Suicide cats are still a good idea. Losing a few cats is far better then trying to duke it out with full strength troops against their full strength troops. War success will swing far to you favor when you lose a few siege at the start, but then proceed to wipe out a stack of 10+ units. Not...
