civ ranking at sid level?

[Gogf]

Interesting. I had no idea that an additional hitpoint was worth an entire combat point. The War Elephant is much more potent than I had thought.

I have made a recent discovery, sid can be beatable without the GL on 60% standard arch with the Dutch, English or byz. All it requires is early curraghs and mapstat.

Yes, "scouting sid" is the 1st recorded sid win, they just used Dutch and arch, and no GL but steal ... About early curraghs, did you set NoAIPartorl=0?

Yes, I do. I randomly decided to do that, and was like "hey, it works" and then I realized it was like scouting sid. They did get a great start, usually you only have room for 10 cities, they had room for 20+ .

Definately in Sid you want your civ to have the agricultural trait. Most people play it with archipiélago maps. having said that Byzantines (because dromons rule the waters in archi maps), Dutch (with a great defensive UU) and perhaps some other agri civ are your best pick.
