Once you have your game setup -- you should save, and post your first turn, so we can all compare notes, or whatever. Still it would be a fun game to play, especially if you had aggressive AI enabled plus raging bullies

I would prefer Kubali Kahn as a creative CIV instead of Ghengis rather than Agustus over Julius. Definitely need one of the Kahns to deal with the horse units from the GERS. As far as Isabella, someone has to found Buddism.
I'd like to see you play Brennus so 1) you can show how to utilize the spiritual trait for a warmonger 2) how to best utilize Galic Warriors. I always screw up my build que timing and the timing with switching civics. Inland sea has alot of rivers which might be fun for the warriors.
I really enjoyed your last thread and how you went about emphasizing the strengths of the game while alot of peeps were freakin out about a rush or choking. I didn't chime in because you guys are completely on a different plane of play. When I first started playing I got locked into the myst -> poly -> get religion path, now I am locked into the mining -> BW -> build city -> axe rush path. So, it's nice to see a different start.

Yes, we will set this game up for everyone to play. I will host.
I am not sure about raging barbs, they might slow us down so much the game wont be fun. The idea is to compete with these aggressive civs not fighting waves of aggressive early barbs.

I forgot Brennus, he's probably better than Washington or Napolean for the simple reason You don't lose any production time switching Civics.

If you want them to fight each other as well as you, you need to mix it up a bit. There's way too much warmonger respect going on with that group.I forget what it amounts to - is it +2, +4 or what for warmonger respect?
That's a good point, war monger respect is going to be tough to over come. Sadly, I expect that the game will end up with the OP fighting against the rest of the world, unless he removes/lowers the war monger respect in the XML.
I hate and I think I may take it out, it's so stupid. It's like +4 for absolutly nothing.

Thanks Maydrock, I have never played Brennus, could be fun. I think the Spiritual trail becomes very powerful post-industrial age where switching civics become more expensive. Being Organized helps more than Spiritual in early ages where lots of the critical fights will take place.
But sure spiritual is fun. So I added Brennus to be another candidate.

Looks like fun! subscribed!
Of course, I'm nowhere near the level of Immortal, so I'll quietly lurk here...

spiritual is more for late game as mentioned, organized more for earlier. in my mind that makes organized more of a militaryish trait and spiritual more of a builderish trait. of course those are not hard and fast, but in a good military game you want the game to be over (you winning of course) before the game goes post-industrial...

My wife researched the "Family Law" tech and built the "Great Divorce" wonder. It generates her many gold per turn
It's just a familial wonder, since she's not the only one who built that one
.Not much to add, but wanted to subscribe.
I may even play it out (losing in 2000 BC won't take long

I think having a tough wife could be a good thing for people who lacks discipline(like myself). They push us to work harder, and we generate more GPT for our families.
Back to OP, I will post a Brennus 4000BC save tonight, will add "Aggressive AI" and see what it is like.

It's a silent -2 modifier only towards human player + ai's multiply their own power with 4/3 relative to yours. Not sure if you should add this on immortal level, it probably means close to always war on immortal with the AI's you propose.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, as I am new to posting on this forum. Is this a saved game that will be downloadable and I can play on my own computer as Napolean or is it just follow the progress ABIGCIVFAN's game as it unfolds. Again sorry if this is an obvious thing.

This is an experimental game, I am very curious to see what would happen under these game settings. It should be a fun and challenging game(if we dont get killed by GK/Alex's chariot rush by 1500BC).
I will post 2 4000BC saved games tonight(Brennus and Napolean). Everyone is welcome t dl and play his own game, I will post my games for strategy discussions. Hope at the end we can learn something and have fun competing with these biggest warmongers in our history.
If Immortal becomes too rediculous, we will consider lower the difficulty levels.
