a bit off topic , but isn't the new map also considered for 1.18 ? I am kind of out of loop , wouldnt this update be huge to make with the new civs , balancing, bugs and new map? to stay on topic: i would suggest: Sweden - gives Norway a bit more of a challenge since their gameplay gets stale...

For the slave trade i wanted to also add - if the euros finally start buying your slaves and you have lets say 7-8 out of them , they usually value them very low , if they dont approach you - as around 75-100g at best, with Spain often giving you 112 gold for each one for some reason. I remember...

You all forgot the Russian swamps in Siberia, those are a nono in my book to be drained , swamps are in general ok for me , but a later tech can possibly "remove" the unhelthines from them.

Same in my games as China/India i've been running recently , which is quite odd. I do them on Regent though , but Persia consistently can't crack Babylon's archers/2 Cities.

As a brazil you need to have 2 things at start in order to have a successfull first goal. Mali/Ethiopia/Kongo must be alive - or just 2 of them , and they should always have slaves. You have to flip a banderiante... otherwise its very hard! I immediately rush to africa with 3 units -...

Lets go to Africa !!!! Congo needs much love since the 2nd goal is very very luck dependant IMO. I've had trouble with it numerous times. Also lets see if you will find the gimmick for slaves

Tried myself a quick Inca playthrough on Heir, Epic speed - this is the best i got. Tech path is the same was the same as yours - Alloys-Iron Working-Law-Cement-Engeneering - 0% slider. Managed to squeeze in Law though to try out Maccu Picchu , and i build it in Tiwaniku since it has a bit...

I am going to go watch the emperor's new groove in honor of this playthrough

Goal 2 - just go for Parsa with 3 swords 1 cat instead of going islam as an alternative - it has ivory, incense, wine just in its small circle, pearls are also close by when u get some culture in. I also always go for the silver in australia.

Denver on the oil is cruicial - best production city in the game imo. Grand Falls you can skip or just settle between the cow and crop - also another good city that i think doesnt flip to canada on spawn - or you just wait their spawn and settle it.

Yeah this bug is very annoying and i get it very often , since i use the WB as you to raze/move cities (especially egypt). Have you tried to lower the pop, remove all the buildings of a city before you raze it - that might just be the workaround , since then it wouldnt be able to run any...

Yeah the thing is they showed twice on the almost same cities in Persia - i can't remember correctly but exactly the middle east ones werent targeted at all. But you are right that they shouldve gotten Persia conqs -> middle east (+ankyra) , mightve just been something to do i had all those...

Well, well, what do we have here :crazyeye: :viking: Btw someone got around the globe, i am yet to get the conquerers event in the 1650s

Hi Leo, I was playing persia and preparing for the mogol conq event in the middle east , but i actually got it twice. Dont have a save , but i can run a playthrough and attached something in the upcomming days. First event - Mangudai/2xKeshik/Trebs Second (2-3 turns later) Heavy Swordsmen x2...

Great Spy points have always been either overworking - giving too much, or not working at all (as in current 1.16 vers) , it's been an issue for a long time. I think during 1.15 it was working decently according to me , since i mostly used spies with russia as in your case , and i could get like...
