No, no design of mine. I just wanted a pangaea which wasn't so round and easy. Let's save those for the Jaguar Warriors.

templar_x · Feb 16, 2016

still looked like one, to me at least.

nice idea, to have us start in the "tail" and zigzag across the landmass for a conquest.
thanks for setting up that game again, Piu!

I take it 8th e vic is elite unit Victor. Pretty Lucky.
I used My first to Create f.t in lisbon.
Was close to loseing it.
Went fra portugise before romans and ottomans due to their units were weaker.
Was stacking up on cavalrists ( Doing science to get railroadtracks where id stop)
But as I was about to go in on ottomans, persians came first, so I only got a few.
Incas japs, And ottomans were all 3 in an alliance agianst mee and they were all a head in sci.
Desides to Ally with russia that had 2 buffer cities between mee and incas (and japs) to the east.
125gpt is alot, but there was still along way to go if I Wanted to try to win.
Ottomans capital fell as the last to Persien.
Now the Persien had a cut er of Ca 6 cities in 'My' land, and south of lisbon.
To defend i had maybee 10 Canon also plus the city incas and japs were attacking most. They had to cross the jungle around the city other vicedirektør I would have been swamped.
Before My alliance with russia ende I managed to get peace with incas and japs. Russia were still in war.
And spied/investigated some of the 6 persians cities ( had gotten persians to go to war with incas, so their extra units were going east now)
Felt id wait 3 turns more for cavalrists to arrive ( still No railroadtracks so small stack here and there)
Damn! I attack persians, and now they have marines and a few guirillas :s
Got My alliance with russia renewed and managed,

painterQ · Feb 17, 2016

To get the 6 city cluster persians had in My land.
Got peace with persians but not before I had gotten incas to also go to war with persians.
(Incas got japs to follow along)
Lost alot in taking the cluster, now railroadtracks time.
With railroadtracks, i could let all cavalrists go to front, My city with musketerer and canons.
Incas Took the 2 buffer russia cities. Perfekt.
Now I could go for incas.

After incas I went for japs.
Roughly how it went ( played 6 spg's sins)
End. 1675 ad (russia and persians left)
Chaged to monarchy when I go it from great library, and stayed on it.

at 1st spoiler, i said that maya DoW me, that started to never ending war until the last civ.

Just gallics all the way then changed to knights after chivalry
Tech just beeline to cavalries after getting knights

Unlike sids game, there's no problem flipping here and there!

(god that cotm 19 predator is so hard! spoiler, I still won by UN!)

How do you post BIG pictures?

lifetap · Feb 17, 2016

I submitted long ago, how can I view jason scores again?

templar_x · Feb 17, 2016

for big pics, you need to use the "insert Image" icon and enter the pic number, which you get from the upload window.

Why would you keep up research far into the Middle Ages?

Was it a foregone conclusion that Knights would serve you better than Gallic Swordsmen (and Cavalry better than Knights), or was it something you noticed after actual failure in battle? What kind of defenders were you fighting?

I'm here to learn.

Thank you for noticing. Can you tell me why not to go research? so that I could get gold? and rush units?

I'm just researching to cavalries because I dont know what enemies will get if I dont research. I know they are behind tech, but they might trade and get a higher def unit. or in any case, I think few cavalry is better than many knights? or are you saying that many many gallic swords man may be better than few knights and fewer cavalries?

I think the defense of further civs are pikes and muskets? or a UU? i forgot already. im sorry.

first units gallics
seconds units knights
third units are suppposed to be cavalries but I dont think I reached that far cause game ends already.

Più Freddo · Feb 19, 2016

I think most players would use cash to rush units rather than continue research when they already have a very powerful military unit such as the Gallic Swordsman, and when they are playing a game of Conquest or Domination. Not only the cash, but the time spent on researching slows down your military and lets the enemy build up a more formidable defense.

Basically, the AI will never research beyond, say, Gunpowder at levels below Deity. If they do, then you were too slow.

Even if they do get to Gunpowder, they'll have to connect Saltpeter and collect the shields for an expensive Musketman as well, which will keep them from building three Spearmen. If you play fast, the AI cities are too weak to me a real obstacle to a military victory. This was pangaea, which is fast. You'll be able to reach the other end on time. Had it been Continents, it would have been another matter.

When I meet the first Musketmen with my Gallic Swordsmen, I just throw numbers (or the odd C3C GS Army) at it. The second defender is usually a Pikeman. Should the Musketmen be large in numbers, it is no big deal to research Chivalry on demand after gifting some Scientific tribes.

Going for Chivalry, on the other hand, is a strategic decision. There have been games where some players used Horsemen and other Chivalry with similar results...

Bad training for the next cotm: :hammer:

Game status: Cultural 20K Victory for Celts

I gave up at 500ad, after my second assult on the Persian capital city of Persepolis failed. My Gallic Swords could not conquor the Persian Pikes and Knights. Peria was left with 15 cities, Japan 13 cities and Russia 3.

What could I have done different?
1) Just crippled the Romans and moved on. I spent too long eliminating them. I should have concentrated on getting at the Persians and the Japanese.
2) When I entered the MA I should have just researched Eng. Why I took Feudalism I never know. It stopped me building Gallic swords.

I was also a little unlicky with the RNG. 6 goody huts all produced angry warriors, amd countless elite victories without a MGL.

For those who are interested the full MA log is below

templar_x · Mar 7, 2016

how did you get the army without an MGL?

otherwise, sounds like some really bad luck. but if i read the log correctly, you tried to stay honorable all the game :goodjob:

t_x

Scratcher · Mar 7, 2016

I only got the the one MGL in 340ad. I try not to break deals unless necessary. I suspect that to complete a quick Conquest you gets cities for peace then war again, right?

painterQ · Mar 7, 2016

Thats What i try to do.
But I play for fun

I remember right after I Took most of mayans, 3 stack off barb horses spawned on mee and romans desides to jump on mee with em.
