Deity please! #4

I think the issue here is just different leaders. Usually forum game starts are better then average because most people wouldn't be too interested in playing a terrible start ( like 3 wine or something )

But I would certainly be interested in watching you and the other pro's playing starts like that, much more so than gold starts

Hmmm... Depends on the people, there
I'd be far more interested in a 3 wine or a cow start than in the Pericles start this series had (skipped that one on sight ; not to say I'd have reached a dominant position, just that... well... I don't find it exciting to have a super busted start).
3 wine... sure, you may lose ! But hopefully you will lose fast so it isn't horrible. Better than a slow and painful defeat ^^

Hello again.

Rolled a few starts looking for something interesting.

I have a proposal:
We got very nice map in Nobles' Club LXX: Sulieman of the Ottomans.

I worldbuilded it so it's deity, normal speed, huts/events off and barbs got their techs.

Why use map already existing on the forums? Few reasons:

1. There are many players here, who play Nobles Club on different difficulty levels. I think they would be interested to see how was it done (if it was ) on highest difficulty. Especially if AbsoluteZero will make a video of it.
2. The map is very nice and interesting indeed.
3. The map looks balanced well. No golds in BFC.

Now, it's not too late to make it No Tech Brokering/No Vassal States. Should I do that?

If no , here is the save.
If yes, let me know and I will post another one.

Let's Deity Please! #5 begin!

 

[vranasm]

^^ that reminds me that I wanted to try some game with tech brokering off ;-)

 

[GKey]

I have no problem with TB, but girls in this thread seems to dislike brokers

 

[BornInCantaloup]

Thank you GKey, I'll try that save
I don't know about the map but Suleiman is a very cool leader. Starting position is... errr... where to settle isn't obvious to me.

Oh my...
Not really a spoiler, using zoom:

Spoiler :

SIP=
Tons of food
5 Hills
8 cottageble riverside tiles (4 FPs, 3 grass)
11 visible forests
Plus oasis (Best tile in game to use while you make your first worker? May be I am wrong, can't come up with something better)
Absolutely awesome site IMO.

Even thinking of not to SIP here should be considered as a serious crime. That's IMO, of cause, will be interesting to see different approach.

 

[BornInCantaloup]

1N and on the marble look good as well. Maybe not better, I haven't spent more than 30s looking at the screen, yet.
Oasis means both locations would have fresh water. This I know

 

[GKey]

Well, looks like no objections, next deity please will start with proposed map.

arrg..too bad I already started this one on immortal... not a bad map despite it being Large.

 

[BornInCantaloup]

Eeek... Large map ?
I guess losing early is the best alternative to winning late for those of us who don't want to invest too much time into a game Hopefully, I'll manage ! Barbarians are on at least ?

GKey, is it necessary to open another thread ?
I would think posting reports in the Noble's club thread is good enough... Maybe it's more convenient to have 2 threads, dunno...

Yep large and crowded map, according to op. Is separate thread necessary? Not sure, up to you. We got nice deity map, that's all we need after all.

 

[Gwaja]

But... but... I thought... we were doing Raging Barbarians with Tokugawa starting with no resources nearby on a non-coastal start! ^_^ **runs and hides**

 

[GKey]

@Gwaja Ok, if you promise join us, play and post we will do. Bring your map though, I don't really like starts I rolled recently.

Yipes! I really didn't expect that answer from you! ^_^

Hmmm... how about a Rain Forest map with Monty? Maybe there might be some fun to be had with Monty's Jaguars and their free Woodsman I bonus. It would also be quite different from normal maps since the map will be filled with jungles, which means Iron Working would be a priority tech. Of course, Iron Working unlocks the Jaguars which require no resources.... ^_^

A Terra map with Joao might be fun too. Early colonization of the New World with carracks from Optics might be interesting.

Or, even a Global Highlands map with either Boudica or Brennus and try to utilize the Gallic Warriors and Duns.

Just throwing out ideas out there.
