Warlord
Open.
Going for Domination with Republic for first time in C3C.
Typical expand peacefully, then start taking some cities with Horses.
I took notes, but they look too long. Highlights:
Moved my Settler W-W to find a great city (eventually), but no food bonus.
Warrior -> Barracks -> Settler -> Warrior
2710 BC Found second city next to gems instead of game. Mistake.
1550 BC Found third city next to game.
1150 Found Graz to get Horses.
1100 Going for the Cows. Figure I'll at least get some workers, before it flips.
1050 Trade HorseBR for IW
1025 Found Krems with double Cow
1000 5 citites. 13 Pop. QSC = 3207 (crpmapstat 2.8.1) Things feel pretty hopeless at this point, but I'm going down fighting.
pre 750 ... Maybe there is a little hope. Paris has pyramids due in 8. She sounds like a perfect first target. Only 2 spears currently.
310 BC Take Pyramids. But Palace jumps to better place!
230 BC Very Lucky. Raze new French Capital. It had quickly went from 6 to 7 pop.
10 AD It must be Christmas. France just built Great Library next door!
100 AD Germany demands Iron. I deny him, and he "Admires my back bone" Says he was just kidding. Ha Ha. Very Funny...
150 AD 1st Leader! Thanks to Germany. Make Horse Army.
...somewhere in here I get to Republic. And it kicks some serious booty over Monarchy imo.
490 AD Beaten up French and Germans. 2nd MGL. Better go after Ottomans soon, who are leading the way.
Research MT, and then shut it down.
720 AD Golden Age fighting with Ottomans. Things are looking good. I'm gettting like 250 gpt, and no happiness problems.
pre 750 AD turn - Everyone I know, declares war on me. Darn Ottomans must have bought them in.
Vienna is captured by a roaming Russian effing Settler pair.
I lost 17 gold. Capital, which was making Hussar every 3 turns jumps to game city. Where it should have been in the first place.
750 AD Retake capital, and get 30 gold back.
Current situation: 820 AD, I'm close to top in Power Graph, and other continents are just starting to make an appearance locally. I just set out a Galley about 3 turns ago.
820 AD
This is the most fun game, that I've stressed about the most. Great Setup!
Hope I make it to the end.
