First off,let me say I have no idea what this is supposed to be.Maybe its a tutorial,maybe its me killing time.(most likely)
This is a record of the first few thousand years of a deity,raging hoardes,small map game.I was fortunate to get fairly nice terrain and did not have bad luck from my first few huts.This may or may not be typical.
Ok here we go
2.42,deity,raging hoardes,7 civs,medium map,standard rules and all else random.
4000-no specials in sight but a nice river.Time to do a little exploring. click
3850-3 turns in and now we are set. click
3800-Here is the beginning of civilization.We have settled a river basin with 2 specials in the capitol. click .First goal is Monarchy and to that aim we select Alphabet-3 turns.First thing to do is build warriors since we did not find any huts yet.
3650-Alphabet researched select Ceremonial Burial
3600- click 1st warrior ready in Rome.Time to explore to the west to see if the special pattern is there.
3550-warrior in Veii ready.Will clear city radius first.
3400-Burial done but the 3rd prequisit for Monarchy(Code of Laws) is not offered.This is normal.You will have to reseach at least 1 non Monarchy tech so we choose Bronze Working for-A.a wonder to start-B.better defenders.C.we need to get more rows of sheilds available for rush building later.The second warrior from Rome ready 3 turns before size 2..This one will stay home.Rome will build a settler.We spend 8 gold to "rush build" the 2nd warrior in Veii.It will also begin a settler.
3250-the cities reach size 2.Veii produces 3 sheilds and 2 science beakers.Rome-4 sheilds and 2 beakers.Our citizens are working the whale and 3 sheilded river grass squares.
We have more of the map cleared.There is a good site west of Rome in the middle of 3 specials.Notice the pattern. click
3200-switch to warriors-buy them-switch back to settlers.We haved saved a few turns here.
Finally a hut near Veii. click
3150-the hut gives 50 gold.Now we have a little cash to rush build a settler in Rome.That will be done next turn.It will nearly empty the treasury but it is going to save oodles of turns.
3000-Rome builds a settler and starts another warrior. click Another hut is in view.It gives another 50.We rush the settler in Veii.
2950-Bronze Working is discovered and Code of Laws is offered.
Veii builds a settler and starts another.However it produces no sheilds.We need to free the cites of support by building 2 more cities.The Veii warrior has discovered another good 3 special site with a whale. click
2800-Our 3rd city is founded.We will re-support the Veii warrior.
2750-our other settler and warrior are in position for city # 4. The same re-supporting will be done.Meanwhile we rush a warrior in Rome and switch to a phalanx.
2700-we rush the phalanx once again nearly draining the treasury,Thats what gold is for.USE IT EARLY.
2650-Rome now has 2 defenders and will begin The Collosus.The original 2 warriors will continue to explore.
2600- click Another hut.Also more specials near Antium.Looks like a good spot for a city.Antium will build a settler for that once it completes its warrior,That warrior will remain in the city.
2550-the hut gives 25 gold.We are getting pretty lucky with gold and no non Monarchy pre-requisits from huts.Too many can be disastrous.If we get more than 2 before Monarchy,then we will stop entering until Monarchy is done.
2500-we discover Code of Laws and Monarchy is offered.Perfect. click
We also contact the Carthaginians. click We make peace and offer to trade tech but we would not do it.We just want a looksy.Remember any tech gained now will add turns onto Monarchy's research time which is currently 10 turns.They say no, so either they have what we have or we have whatever they have.We make peace for now.
We rush a phalanx in Veii and switch back to a settler. click We need to get a city near the spot where contact took place.There is a river and we must lay claim.They could be near there.We won't be hemmed in!
2450-Cumae finishes a warrior and starts a settler.Starting to see a routine?A whale has been uncovered and we want it. click
2400-It takes 37 of 51 gold to rush the settler in Veii.We consider this a good investment.
2350-settler from Veii heads out NW.Veii will build another settler.
2200-another hut gives 25.This gives us gold to rush a phalanx-switch to settler in Antium which is now size 2. click We need to finish that settler before the city reaches size 3 or we get disorder.
click Cumae is about to reach size 2 so we move our worker to the silk forest knowing the game will assign the new worker to the highest food producing square.If we leave it,the new worker will appear on the unsheilded grass square.We lose production.A tiny amount-yes-but everything is magnified at this stage so it counts. click
2050-Our settler/warrior combo is set to claim a fertile region. click This city will build a phalanx first.
2000-We discover Monarchy but we do not revolt.oedo's research tells us that we can only change governtments in certain years without the Statue of Liberty.The pattern is xxx0 meaning-3850-3650-3450-3250 etc.We have to wait until 1900bc to revolt so we fall on the "oedo year" of 1850bc.
1950-we found Neapolis click ..but whats this?! click ..Veii is about to revolt.That is because we just exceeded the city limit of 4 under Despotism on small map deity games.We need to remove a worker for an Elvis until we make the switch to Monarchy.I'll let you figure out what that limit is.
1900-we hold our revolt.We trade the Carths for Writing.
1850-Monarchy established.Things look good. click We have land to settle.Rome is about to go size 3 and has almost a third of a 200 sheild wonder done.We're off to a decent start.The barbs will be showing up soon....Good luck
