T100

Gandhi is basically a doormat. Walk all over him and he'll be friends 3 turns later

I did find him ta, first thoughts were it's given me a feel for how much video has advanced in the past 15 years. Did I really play civ on a 4:3 CRT monitor? 🤣 🤣 🤣

I've not watched any further than I've played but I will when I think I'm doing better at the first 100 turns. Yeah obvs differences with the level which is one reason I've focused a bit on BPT. I need them of course because the trades are so limited like you said. I've started ignoring teching...

Thanks, I have actually set my new game to Emperor, though my butt is still sore from the kicking it got last time I tried it. I've not heard of TMIT so I'll have a look on youtube

I'm resurrecting another oldie from the vaults. I chose this un cos there is a Lain vid on youtube so I can compare how I'm doing with a actually good player. Not watched his yet. I will watch the first 50 turns shortly now that I've played 'em and see if I've done a decent job. I haven't looked...

Played my Lain shadow as far I could take it without deviating too much from his exact moves etc. By T100 I can't do the stuff he's doing because of trades he got 10+ turns ago etc. Still I have a tech lead and actually my BPT at 110 is unintentionally higher than his but I'd have to shift tiles...

I love SB gets a little write up in the Civ Illus, Every AI needs one. This is so my experience of SB, "No matter what your strategy for victory is, Sitting Bull is probably just in the way. He is a bad vassal, won't trade techs, pesters you with spies, and generally dies hard. If you don't...

ta. I had dipped into Civ Illus before but hadn't really thought about PW. I had noticed that warmongers sometimes seemed to buddy up but not realised they loved to hate high PW AIs

I'm sure it's not 100% true but in many games I've played or watched the other AIs all seem to hate Sitting Bull. Anyone else found this? What about other AIs that seem to attract hate from their fellow AIs? Gandhi seems to be one, Izzy, at least sometimes, another. Is it just me or is something...

I have spotted his and Henrik's use of whipping and chopping to produce overflows to go into Settlers etc, usually for just a turn before returning to a different build. I've been trying this out myself in my own game and I will go back to saves of the mirror game where he's chopped or whipped...

I was trying this for a couple turns just now, I definitely didn't see any hammers added to my overflow etc

Anyway thanks to this and the help I've had I've finally just about matched him in my own-move game - at least up to T75 anyway. I've played on to 115 now so I really ought to check how he's doing. I'll probably up end replaying those turns when I see 🤣🤣🤣 EDIT I saw: He's 60+bpt turns ahead...

I think you underestimate how much more skill and experience you have over me. People who are ignorant are generally too ignorant to even realise it. You'll have heard of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I'm just at thye stage of exploring how ignorant I am - clearly nowhere near his or your level...
