I thought we should make good use of the Enkidu Warrior... Barbarians are Raging!

Got off to a SURPRISING fantastic start, Setler 2 (first I built) popped a Settler from Goody Hut. That popped settler then popped another Settler from a Goody Hut!
Start Settler + Built Settler = 4 settlements.
Thought that possibillity had veen eliminated some while back.

Plenty of time of course remqins for me to waste away the advantage!

I thought so as well!

Perhaps we need to let an experienced modder take a look at our .bix/.biq files?!
I have a vague memory about how it was supposed to work: it depends on which unit (settler or worker) is marked as your "starting unit #1". And then you can get either this one or the other one from huts...
(But then I remember other GOTMs/COTMs, where I definitely got a worker from a hut! So something can't be right here?! )

 

[Più Freddo]

This is the way the games are set up. We have also corrected the number of initial "unit #1" and "unit #2" the AI gets at different levels. We used for a while to have AI with many Workers and few Settlers...

Just achieved a long hard domination victory. It took all summer to conquer the massive amount of land.in this game. Went to Monarchy because of the lack of luxuries in the early game and cheap Enkidu warriors for MP’s. Stayed in Monarchy because I was always at war. Even when Communism became available it didn’t seem to be worth the 4-8 turns of anarchy to switch. IIn most cities, I built almost nothing but military units, barracks, and libraries (for cultural expansion). I built universities in my core 6-8 cities and market places once cities were over size 7 for happiness. I had a small tech lead through the entire game and was able to fund my military by selling techs, resources, and luxuries mainly to the Persians for hundreds of gpt while I was at war on the other continent..
Thank you Piu for setting up a great (but very long) game!
