best place to answer those questions would be that game thread. ask for statistics at various points in their games - they should have the saves still.

sometimes you can bulb mathematics if you are chopping out a wonder and need the extra hammers ASAP there's lots of forest around.

yeah - links broken?

IIRC there was a lion in the way

Great Job guys, sorry I wasn't around much. I will definitely be keeping a very very loose status for any future sgotms. Now I know how much time and dedication it takes. I will be curious to see how teams handled the beginning as well.

yep sorry, checking in once in a while, but seems like you are doing ok. If the english are about to get redcoats, we dont want them upgrading too many of their old units, so we need to crush their stack soon.

almost there guys!

gunpowder! you have a cuiraseir highlited

tachywaxon had a post about it a while back, but there are just thresholds for city pop and number of defenders (and i think a modifier for era? some modifier anyway). its doubtful we can starve it, and even if we could it'd take too long. at this point i think we need to do it the old...

in terms of the barbarian city (hammer) with longbows -- how far away are we from cuiraseirs? would it make sense to go back to anvil (once it stops rebelling), and upgrade the elephants? at size 9, all the defenders in hammer should have the defender scripts which calls for them not to...

landskrecht may be cheaper, but with the city raider promotion, its better to have a higher base damage.

nah, im in my 30s, completely done with school. I manage property (landscaping etc) and naturally spring is a hectic time. whatever time i have left is spent on my custom design woodworking business. Im just usually dead tired and don't have time to analyze or test like I did at the beginning...

i have a theory on why barb city was there: When an AI conquers a barb city, Im almost positive he never razes it. That means for an AI coming from the west, its impossible for him to actually get anvil. There's no way he can build a transport there, unless for some reason the little lake is...

quick drop in -- kind of keeping tabs, but extremely busy. someone has already said this but we need to keep an eye out of 'domination' victory vs conquest. anvil was needed b/c of the lake of course. the whole map is full of incredible food i think, so we can only take the juiciest of cities.

can you put up some Screenshots pls?
