Attacko's Babylonian Maneuver

Fact- The Babylonian Manuever is not locked

Fact- This tactic has been proven by countless games and verfied by hundreds of top level players
 
Huh? I didn't see that.

It would have been funnier if it was preceded by some perfectly normal and reasonable advice, though.
 
Figures. I have mockingly (all in good fun, of course) summarized people like that before, but for some reason forgot that anyone would question the great Attacko.
 
While making up phrases in a quote box and attributing them to someone else is an interesting notion, it does make writing top rate civ4 articles more a task.

however, undaunted by the the whimpering liars that reload alot i would also suggest....

Fact- In multiplayer there are alot of civs chosen with melee uu's
Fact- Organized, Aggressive = Bowmen at War
Fact- No resources- no worry- road to kill
Fact- You should build on strategic resources to end headaches
 
" Army composition is Chariots/Horse Archers, and Bowmen"
from, "Attacko's Babylonian Manuever"

Dissecting an interaction of traits is an interesting notion, however, i fail to see how it is relevant.

Fact- The Aggressive trait does not help Chariots or Horse Archers, either.

Well, I was basing my reply on your assertion that:
Fact- Organized, Aggressive = Bowmen at War

So I logically assumed that those two traits -- Organized and Aggressive -- had something to do with using Bowmen to wage war. Or were you just making a non sequitur?

Actually, I can think of one way in which Aggressive helps Bowmen, Chariots, and Horse Archers. Aggressive makes your Barracks cheaper, which will help to boost all of your land-based military units. But I think that's an indirect benefit.

So what exactly is your strategy? Could you possibly play through a sample game with the Babylonian Maneuver so we could see your strategy in action? So far, your "strategy" seems to look like a mere list of Babylon's strengths, combined with some random assertions about Horse Archers. How does it all work together?

Conventional logic is helpless when dealing with Attacko's strategic wisdom. However, Attacko's points can be understood in the context of chaos theory and Venn diagrams.
 
I dunno, I studied chaos theory in my degree and his posts still don't make any sense ;)
 
Organized- Civic upkeep reduced 50 percent. ...more troops affordable earlier

Aggressive- Barracks time to build in half

In essence, cheap archer uu with two techs. there is a sub chapter somewhere
"Barracks First Build" which allows for Bowmen and chariots promoted- hitting barbarians and animals and getting more promoted at a very early stage of the game.
 
Don't forget that Hammurabi's beard has great synergy with philosophy, thus making the Babylonian maneuver that much more deadly.
 
Fact - Gilgamesh's beard is the superior
 
Fact - Charlemange looks like the Burger King, suggesting early research of AH is the superiior.
