Hello, I make this write-up about OCC cause
1. I wish to stir up the interest in OCC a bit, as I can see it is quite unpopular. U see, the fun thing about OCC is Survival. U need every trick and do all you can do just to stay alive, in hope of some better days in future. Even you only have 1 city, but 1 turn can takes up 10 minutes. One mistake gonna cost you the game.
2. I feel a bit upset that someone still consider OCC only winnable with a serious cooked map. I agree that OCC need certain strong start but not cooked. Believe me when I said that I hate cook the map no matter what game condition I play.
I hope that someone may find this writeup useful and help each other to try new thing, even it seems hopeless.
This game will be heavily Espionage Economy, so maybe someone can use it as a reference to a small civs with 3 or 4 cities.
OK, here is the setting:
- Unrestricted leader with random civs, just to have more fun. Just hope we will not see Monty of Rome.
- PA, to make the domination less a chore.
- No barbarian: simply I find bard is more annoying than realistic.
I handpicked 3 tech AIs, and 3 war AIs, with Monty included so this game will not be a peaceful boring developement.
With Ghandi, the king of unknown emprire, we get this start
Good thing about this start: plain hill start, 2 FP, good food, coastal (not very important but harbor is got and seafood is really good)
Bad thing: no lux resources, means very weak beginning tech research.
Good thing about civs: gahni of spain, with fishing and mining is a very good tech in this start, we can delay worker until we need quarry. Mining will help use get mansonay sooner.
Here is our main strategy: going for espionage economy, so great wall is our first priority. We will do EE until PA available and then shift back to normal research to keep tech lead.
So our tech will be like this: meditation (to get holy city, which help us get massive discount tech steal), mansonary (to get GW), TW, Pottery, writing, priesthood, alphabet.
We gonna oracle CoL, I don't dare to go for something bigger cause oracle goes out quite fast in Deity.
Let's see if we can pull this off.
