Emperor
My New Years Resolution: To move up to Emperor dificulty.
I have been playing on Noble now for about a year, and it's time to move on. The only way I feel I can do this is with YOUR help, however. So, I have decided for the first time to post my games here in the forums. I will follow pretty much the the same format as other games I have seen posted here. Starting with my mission statement:
To advance to Emperor!
How will I do this? I will play and post a series of games with the following format:
MAP TYPE: Shuffle
SEA LEVEL: Random
CLIMATE: Random
SIZE: Standard
CIVILIZATION & LEADER: I will play each civilization alphabeticaly, picking the leader based on my preference.
DIFFICULTY: I am starting on Noble, and will advance in difficulty with every two wins. If I have not won two emperor games by the time I reach Shaka, I will have failed in my mission.
MISC - I play CIV IV BtS with the 3.17 patch (and Bhuric's) and the BUG mod.
I will not regenerate the starting location!
The Score :1 - 0
This game belongs to a civ I have never played before (Arabia), whose leader has traits I find fairly weak. (Spiritual, Protective).
The UU is the Camel Archer, a Knight which does not require horses . . . Not sure what I think about that.
The UB, (Madrassa) on the other hand, seems fairly solid, a library with +4 culture, and the ability to turn to additional citizens into priests.
THE MAP!
Well, for those of you who say I got off easy on the first game, I guess you'll like this one! Only one food source visable, but I do have two flood plains. Before I decide anything, I will listen to your feedback and advice as to where I might settle.
Also, since I am a spiritual leader and start with Myst, I should go for a religion, right (remember, this is still Noble). My thoughts right now are to go for Poly and then Mono. Should I get out Ag first though, for that rice? Maybe Poly, Ag, Mono, while building a worker first?
This time around, I'm going to put more weight in you guy's suggestions, as the first game was prety much my usual play style, and now I'm ready to see if I can improve on that. If I win this one, I'm up to Prince!
