Open- Would like to have 5 eventually since the title is The Five Sultans Conquest Diety

 

[Durkz]

turn0
Moved the worker W , nothing special, but because we are standing on a bg move it NW.
turn1
settler creates istambul, cow apears N/Nw (in radius) , woohoo we will have a 4 trn settler fac. Moved worker to bG. Set maximum reasearch to pottery (20 turns).
turn2
Mining the BG. o i forgot , F10 tels us that we are against: Dutch, Germans, Portugese, Mother Russia, French, Spanish and Byz. All Euro, or own created it this way.
turn3
nothing
turn4
...
turn5
...
turn6
Istabul>warrior>warrior. Renamed warrior to Own and move him N, Gold mountain reveals itself.
turn7
own north, nothing special.
turn8
Own on the G. Mountain, a lot of bg and game apears (woohoo another settler factory).
turn9
worker on the second bg, Own NE.
turn10
another game up north, it looks like we are going to have two 4 turn factories. Istambul>warrior>warrior. Renamed the second warrior to BiGandHuge and moved him S.
turn11
not much...
turn12
Own discovers another cow in the north. That's a posible 3 turn settler factory. Big discovers a cow S of capital on a plain. Man im loving this start. We are going to own this map. Lux to 20% as istambull is sieze 2 now.
turn13
istambul>warrior>settler. Lux to 0%
turn14
Lot of rivers to the south.
turn15
not much
turn16
Germans close to the south (could be trouble). Traded Masonary & 1 GPT for the Wheel. horses apear 2 tiles NE of the G Mountain. (we should consider a horseman rush).
turn17
Own dicovered another cow to the NE (possible worker factory). Started choping game just right for the Granary.
turn18
pot in one. Settler in one. Nothing else.
turn19
started reaseach on IW on minimum, so we can save some money to buy warrior code and to upgrade those chariots. Settler is out and i move him S so we can block the germans from expanding towards us.
turn20
choped forest.

 

[Own]

or own created it this way.

Nope all opponents were random.

 

[Durkz]

Nope all opponents were random.

haha i calculated the odd of this happening.
there is 0.0016 % of this happening or ~ 3/2000.

 

[Own]

I don't think it's that unlikely, considering there are tons of European civs.

 

[madviking]

Own-
Vikings
Celts
Portugal
Spain
France
Germans
Russia
Greece
Romans
9 civs

 

[Own]

Not Rome, though, nor Greece, but you forgot England. I guess those are the correct odds. Wow! Cool, except we're Middle Eastern, so they'll have good attitudes and trading with eachother.

 

[Durkz]

there are 12 euro civs in c3c out of 30 (not counting us).
12/30 is 0.4, because there are 7 opponents in the game you go 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 x0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.0016...

 

[BigNHuge]

wierd were up against all european civs. In your list, you forgot Byzantines.

 

[Own]

No, Byz is mediteranian. Btw you're up Big, do you have it?


Edit- Dumb question, of course you do.

 

[BigNHuge]

yes i have it and will play tomorrow.

 

[Durkz]

hahaha , i just noticed a mistake in the title.
it's Deity not Diety. Five sultans on a diet.

 

[BigNHuge]

omg i did make a mistake in the title! wow that was stupid

 

[BigNHuge]

PreTurn- Change nothing, love this start.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 1(2950BC)- Settler will be in place in a couple turns.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 2(2900BC)- Nothing.

IBT- Nothing

Turn 3(2850BC)- Found "Diety" . Worker begins roading the game. Discover some spices near us, but the way Germany is going, itll be hard to grab.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 4(2800BC)- Nothing.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 5(2750BC)- I switch the person in Istanbul to the game to get more pop asap. Send worker to a BG.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 6(2710BC)- Nothing. Germany is everywhere, seems to be coast to coast already!

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 7(2670BC)- Istanbul grew. Thats it

IBT- Diety Warrior->Worker. Can be changed.

Turn 8(2630BC)- Nothing special.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 9(2590BC)- Nothing.

IBT- Nothing.

Turn 10(2550BC)- Germany has IW now.

Ok. This is where my games on Deity begin to go under, when my neighbor, who is usually aggressive like Germany, gets IW and runs over me. So I'm glad experience is on my side with Deity, and im not touching it for many turns. The granary is almost done, and you can switch the worker build in Diety to whatever. Do you guys think we could do enough damage with just horsemen to Germany, who will have swords very soon, if they have Iron? Is this game doable? Do I ask too many questions?

Da Save

 

[Own]

Allright, I'm up, and might not be able to play for awhile.

 

[Durkz]

Horse is just better than Sword IMO. with 10 -15 horsmen we can criple/conquer germany so it wont be a threat anymore.
It's more than doable, it's a great start, fertile , lot of shields, lot of commerce and horses (if we find iron it will be even better).
There are only two negs about this start
1. Germany.
2. Too close.

 

[Own]

I find swords are better, but you are probably right.

The city spacing issue is tough. We can't work the cow until cultural expansion unless we want to settle on a BG or sacrifice a river spot. Btw, CXXXC or CXXC?

 

[BigNHuge]

CXXXC, I think that would be better, i only do cxxc in AW. Also, we can stick a warrior on that one tile north and we can almost gaurentee getting that whole peninsula.
