Ivory City first imo. Copper is too far away imo. If we crash our eco, we loose the only advantage we have from having Mansa as a neighbor. Ivory City brings commerce, happy, hammers and even has a couple forests to chop, the only real disadvantage is less blocking value, but Banana Hill...

@Htadus Yes I used the lake, but only when it didn't hamper the growth of the city. I even used coastal tiles when micromanaging for max overflow of workers into settlers and to get alpha on T35. It might be even possible to get it a turn earlier but my conscience wouldn't let me use the lake...

I played a test game to T50 with a similar to hawk's opening. Didn't pay attention to scouting but usually the scout would've wandered off to find MM as quickly as possible (and then die in an unfortunate animal accident). Differences: I settle phants as my 2nd city. My third city and...

I favour 1S of lake fwiw and mainly because of the banana tile being avaiable earlier for the phant site. Otherwise it's pretty much a coin toss, although it immortal and things like maintenance might also be factor. Regarding tech, i'm still think that we should wait till T5 to commit to a...

MP, if you don't upload the save please remember to make a T1 Demo Screenshot to get a look for the AI-Caps. Maybe GLH is in the cards. Tested a bit over the weekend and i also prefer Pigsite. Not sure on first tech. I'm inclined to use this "Trick" where you don't allocate research until T5...

Glad i looked in the thread again, was about to make one too. :D That was quick Leif. :goodjob: Going to check if there are any mistakes now. Edit: 1 Jungle 2N of pig has to be removed otherwise it's accurate and ready. Don't think reuploading without the jungle is necessary it's an easy fix...

Interesting surroundings. Worker shouldn't go any further, it should start moving in the direction of the settler so we don't miss turns before improving tiles or chopping in the cap. Ivory is nice and pigs is even better. Will test a couple starts over the weekend. I think everybody...

I don't think tachy would've minded if you posted this in the saladin thread. Question 5 is right up tachy's alley. 1. see timmy827 post. Just for the sake of completeness there is another formula developed by T-hawk which is a bit easier in my opinion. 2. Yes, we can determine the city...

Checking in. Welcome Gator. @hawk Agree that this is going to be a tough start. At first i was glad that we wouldn't have to cope with the horrible starting techs of our leader but classical era start adds so many more choices. I made a T0-Testgame so we can look at a couple things...

X-team please.

Hey Guys, i'd really like to play but after looking at the save, i think it'll be better to skip me. I couldn't play a turn of Civ4 since mid november so i'm pretty rusty and with the timeline as a factor i think it'd make more sense to let somebody pick it up, who is up to date on every little...

Nice work z3 :goodjob: Will look at the save later. @leif As long as they are worst enemies they won't trade anything with eachother.

Some might think we're still gambling with 2 spies though. :mischief: If somebody is good at math, we could calculate the exact percentages and determine the "best" number of spies and how much risk we want to take and if it's better to move them all at once or one at a time like z3...

Looks good Z. :goodjob: Glad you can work with the test game. I'd like to get a better test game up this week, but we'll see if that's possible. Agree with Leif, we need that second spy, we could always use him to scout around in brennus territory if we get the tech first try. Have...

Test Game has become a bit of a mess. :sad: Brennus has his hands full and we're very likely the target. I replayed the test save twice to get another outcome but i'm running out of time. There are differences to the real game in Sheep City, and maybe in paris too. Treasure is off because of...
