GL and as much fun as possible with this game yyeah and everybody playing with him .

 

[Gumbolt]

That is one super power UU now with Cha. With the Mongols UB even more impressive. Mixed in with one of the best traits in game. (Spiritual.)

You will have a lot of fun here. Unfortunately you will need agriculture and Ah here. Not to mention mining and BW for the forest. Tech order here will be key as you can't research all those 4 techs here and go HBR too? I guess hunting helps with archery.

 

[yyeah]

Thanks Seraiel .

@Gumbolt
Yea we have nice combo here .

Another thing is that Brennus is good leader, above avarage i think, and i very like hes traits, but Celts are weak civ on diety.
Thats why i and probably pps dont play him too often.

Same thing is with Mongols even worst beocuse they dont have a good leader Kublai Khan is i dont know maybe avarage.
Togather they look a lot better .

Allso i wanted Spi leader beocuse ... who knows what diplo game brings.
I played it to 875BC and ...

Spoiler :

beware

I had couple of ideas for Leader/Civ for eg. Roosevelt/Sumeria .

But overall i think that Spi trait adds something to this game, and overall its jjust have to be Brennus

Edit.
875 BC

Spoiler :

Overall we got a lot of land to fill, map is preety generous. Iam expanding quite fast now iam makeing 2 settlers and will probably face issues soon. Plan is to bulb math and make some use of choops and for some

Spoiler :

My tech path was
AH(wanted to reveal horses for some barb def) ->Agc->Mining->BW->Pottery(8turns)( faster writing, and that couple of cottages helps a lot) ->Writing( 8 turns instand of 12)->HBR->Archery
Biggest reason for HBR was diplo situation. And yea it would be a sin not go for it with this overpowered units.

Spoiler :

Tech race looks v slow only Hammy of England has Alpha but he dont want to trade with me, he even dont wan to OB ... Who are you jerk

Spoiler :

And the craziness.
Not too much love on this continent i can tell you that .

Spoiler :

Hammy starts to plotting very early i though that this was on me, thanks god that was RII, but hes now stomping RII likecrazy Ramesses is down to 3 cities and Hammy has 9 ... thats not good i dont want to have huge and crazy Hammy on my flank. He allrdy has quite big stack there.

Spoiler :

And Hatty. She starts plotting allmoust same time like Hammy and i though "this is game over WTH" but she didnt DoW yet.
Last turn she entered my border with her stack, so maybe, maybe theres slight chance that shes going for Bismark of Russia .
I dont thik i will have that much of luck.
Just wait 10 turns.

Spoiler :

'

I dont know every turn can be my last atm this diplo is crazy.
Looks like iam beetween 2 heavy warmogers, and i know for sure that i dont want to defend.
Now iam only hopeing that Hatty give me 10 more turns to prepare.

Best case scenario if shes going for Bismark and then i will do what i like at moust .

350BC

Spoiler :

Hatty DoW Bismark
but then something unexpected happend ....

Spoiler :

Emergency and my troops did this...

Spoiler :

Now its time to a little bit of something from me .

Spoiler :

And beocuse looks like this map will be at least challengeing, it would be nice if my GG's have some respected names from challenger team
Lets start like this.

Spoiler :

@lymond
fixed happends

 

[lymond]

ack...spoiler fail!

 

[elitetroops]

Spoiler :

I will die in battle at 98.6% odds!

 

[Seraiel]

Nice writeup yyeah . I like especially, how you don't have Alpha at 775BC, have no research but therefore had 7 cities ^^ . Definitely playing very differently to how I do, so will follow with interest .

Want to take this one ? 3xp ... lvl up

No no lots of cities and we are going HA's i never done it befor as well.
But this is experimental warfere we are Mongolians , we are not reserching, we even dont know how to dismount . we are just conquering .

 

[yyeah]

100BC

Spoiler :

After taking out Middleburg i took peace with Darius for Sailing. Didnt want to go for him beocuse ihes too far away, and can reserch Feudalism.
Hatty in other hand shes preety huge unit spammer but she doesnt have even monarchy and i like her land
Land

Spoiler :

Tech race.
After math bulb i had just a little bit of bearly enough to make HBR - Alpha trade possible, and then was ... nothing ... nothing ... a little bit of Currancy. Traded it later with Peter for Monachy and HBR i belive.
Tech race (100BC) isnt our strong side , but i did my best with trades.
Going Construcion we got stuff, maybe after Hatty i can take someone like Bismark with Elephants.

Spoiler :

Diplo.
Things are going to be more clear looks like we have 3 religious nuts its Peter Darius and RII, Peter is allso best tradeing partner i think.
But overall theredosnt looks like i have v good tradeing partners here.
Need to switch Hindu this turn i think.
Bad thing is taht Hatty have Compas, cant beg from Peter i only hope that she wont bribe him against me.

Spoiler :

War.
Iam about to take 1st city.

Spoiler :

And north stack to deal with.

Spoiler :

At 1st turn of war another GG was born... if GG borns right after DoW this have to be... another memebr of our Dream Team

Spoiler :

I dont think that we should be afraid of Spears now

Btw Shulec is well known Axeman1 witch took out 4 Dutch Spearmans in a glorious battle of Karakorum

 

[Seraiel]

You can safely take that city with elitetroops yyeah ^^ .

 

[Seraiel]

Don't found that city between that city. You'll never get the Elephants via culture and the city has no own source of food, waste of a Settler imo.

 

[yyeah]

It got bananas they aren clear on screenshoot, and i have Calendar allrdy but i cant aford it right now, i will probably just fill later.
I dont know iam too sceared to take out this chariot i think will go safe for 1xp and take this Sword out... but it is so tempting.

Edit.

Spoiler :

But maybe you right i dont c any good NE spot so far... so maybe i will use this barb city with Pigs and Bananas or, this desert city with Fish and Pigs it will be useless anyway ... well maybe with Moai can be worth something wihtout slavery.
Need to think about it.

Edit.
Took this battle with elitetroops 6 xp 4.2 ezy pzy.

 

[lymond]

This is a pretty good map for

Spoiler :

this type of game. At least there's some gold to East. No one should have a problem getting at least a good 6 cities settled or whatever you want before stomping.

Hatty was a bit scary early. Not sure who she is exactly. But religion sorted things out.

I wanted to attack her first, but she had ivory, so I'm beating up on Hamku, mainly wiht Phantapults. Should cap him soon, but it's about 300ad. I would have liked to have been faster. So many units and he had cities all over the damn place..every side of my empire.

Been a while since of done early warfare on Deity..forget about how many units they have. And, ofc, it probably is better tactic to take bites and get tech. I should have done that.

Probably will win Lib though here soon.

 

[BornInCantaloup]

I've played bits of this map, too.

Here's mysituation at 1000 BC, settling cities further apart than yyeah.

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Going North, now.
Food resources are scarce, not sure how I'll backfill this (if I do). I'd like to secure the bananas west of India, first, and the pigs to the north-west.
Need green riverside, too. Current land is too brown.
Need foreign trade routes badly. Possibly should have connected to Hatshepsut rather than farm Ning-hsia.

Hatshepsut has Alphabet.
Several barb cities would like to be captured.

tech path :
Agri, Mining, BW (2 corns are enough food so I mined the pigs early on),
AH, Pottery, Writing.

 

[yyeah]

@ lymond

Spoiler :

Overall this is good map theres decent amount of food everywhere, and going for Lib is probably more efficient, early rushesh are allways hard on diety. At least this is decent land with a lot of forest so pulling out something like WE's war shouldnt be huge problem.

Spoiler :

warfere
Hatty got a decent size stack up to north, so i had to use old trick.

Spoiler :

Whip walls and wait she will bombard with only 1 Cat this take forever and i can reinforce this side, retreat from city when rdy, let her take it.
Then go with 1 Cat for "The old How is your mother".

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Few turns after another GG was born, and last but not least ...

Spoiler :

Longbows What Longbows

We will have a bit more GG's so i will use players and commentators from this thread... everybody needs to have some fun there

Now iam about to finish of Hatty, unfortunatly she vassaled to Darius last turn, but this should be huge problem.
Land

Spoiler :

Falling behind in tech, so need to finish this warfere asap and fix my eco.

[BornInCantaloup]

@ yyeah :

Spoiler :

I haven't read your spoilers in detail (game description looks good ) but 2 things caught my attention in your 825 BC one.

@ tech path :
- Researching Agri --> AH is fine but the reverse is questionable.
Researching AH --> Agri loses you a 20% discount on AH, from having an extra pre-requisite tech. You're guaranteed to have both techs when the 1st settler is out, too, so there's no loss in timings by researching Agri first (on the contrary... improving the corn first...).
- Researching Archery after HBR seems odd to me as well, when a trade for Alphabet is available. Wouldn't it be better to start putting beakers into Alpha, after HBR, so that you could trade faster ?

No big deals, there. Just minor points.
I'll read your write-up properly when I come back, later.

 

[yyeah]

@ BornInCantaloup

Spoiler :

Yea you right reserching AH firest was a bit odd but to be honest i put 1 turn in to it from begining i though that we start with Agc , dont know why i was distracted or something.
Thew decided to not cheange it beocuse there was no option to have Horses in BFC so figured out taht i will have to road probably .
Overall things was allmoust perfect i imporroved Pigs, then road to this SW Corn , and when Agc was finished i could either bulid road on Corn 1 turn or start to improoving Corn.

Thing about Archery was that nobody had Alpha there yet and i though that Hatty will DoW me so i just didnt want to gamble on Alpha trade if she would attack me i would probably loose game.
So this was somekind of panic mode

Edit.
580AD

Spoiler :

Well nice idea Hammy !

Spoiler :

Good thing is that next turn i took out another 2 Hatty cities:
This 1 has Mids

Spoiler :

Thats another one, nice city too

Spoiler :

And Darius even pay me for peace

Spoiler :

Thing is that i want this one allso like i need it. But it will take quite some time even with my special forces.

Spoiler :

I dont know, overall i should have enough to deal with Hammy but i need to group... though decisopn.
I hope that Hammy will take that city, and after that i will be a while when he start marching towards my core.

What a game

 

[Gumbolt]

Great game so far. Honoured to be made a leader.

Spoiler :

Albeit 3rd in pecking order.

I hope Gumbolt is stilla live.

Spoiler :

Samarqand is not that great a city. I would take mids over it any day.

Looks like Darius or Russians could be strong here.

Try not to give too many Ai shared war bonus against you.

Good game.

 

[yyeah]

@ Gumbolt

Spoiler :

You are capitan of the dream team so i figured out that this shouldnt hurts your ego ... too much. And like they says the last will be the firsts

Mighty Hammy

Spoiler :

Well .. he got nasty stack and yea just couldnt defend that city... unfortunatly.

Spoiler :

If i wouldnt take out that last Hatty city i probably could def myself here, but more importand was to free up that land from Hatty
So had to make same move . And when reinforcments arrived...

Spoiler :

Thats preety good, allso becouse he didnt upgrade hes axes .

And beocuse he got macemans we need someone who can deal with them right ?
I know one person who can do it

Spoiler :

Btw allmoust break even
