Best leader for early conquest victory?

[Terrance888]

I like any leader with Charm and Agg... you get 50% off barracks, cmbat 1 of the bat, 2 more off the bat if you play vanilla! Like having Com 1 CR1 and Cover against archers with axes.... 5.5..... no... 55% more! Taht is about 7.5-8! Kill the archers! And if UU concernes axes.... even better! Note! Donnot unlease the melee killer unless you needed.... with 105% bonus if attacks melee! 10.4! With combat1 shock and CR1 If Spears against Horses, 100% +10% CM1+10%CM2+25%= 145% almost 10 power against mounted! CAn kill a Khight! Swords agaisnt Archers is 10% Genetic + 10% + 25% + 20% is...85% as if you get CR#! (Note that i am rampaging!)

I have never been able to do jack with Inca. Is the speed an issue? I usually play standard. Yeah maybe, MAYBE I can catch a city that doesn't have a bunch of fortified warriors in it and exercise my strengths. But in about 30 seconds I'm losing to warriors then losing to axemen.

Maybe my timing is off.

I actually haven't done it before but someone with a highest score on Deity has done over at HOF I think it's called... Well what that place is call where you post your high scores.

Basically play terra map where everyone is stuck on 1 small continent and rush everyone, the only techs you need are BW for chopping Quechas and Pottery for Cottages, don't bother to build workers because you're gonna steal them and Spam Quecha's and PILLAGE ALL MINES.

It's generally best to play this style with Maximum AIs... so 18 Civs and Marathon Speed... I know it sounds like cheating but it's the best way to win early conquest.

Apart from that just play normal Terra maps and just conquer everyone normally.

Quechas are best on Monarch or above (or is it Emperor - not sure) when the AI starts with archers instead of warriors and never builds warriors. They aren't too fantastic on lower difficulty levels when there are warriors around defending cities.

Augustus Caesar in Bts is good in case the whole "burn them to the damn ground before they've even friggin blinked" policy fails.

The industrious helps to get the Statue of Zeus which is a must for would-be Conquerors.

I was thinking around the lines of The Great Wall, The Manhattan Project, Heroic Epic, I completley forgot about The Statue of Zeus. The Statue of Zeus was more powerful in CivIII, as was the Industrious trait.

M...... Boudica of the Sumners will do good!
