Deity Versus Series – Dido
I am posting a series of six games, all using the same eight civs and the same map script, and taking notes on which civs the computer plays the best. This is the sixth and last game in the series, and with this map, you play Dido of Carthage.
Please be encouraged to share your experience playing this map, but if you post in the first page of this thread, please use the SPOILER tag if you attach a picture, make a comment about your neighbors, nearby natural wonders, locations of ancient ruins, terrain features, luxes, resources, etc.
Before you download and start playing the map, please take a moment to speculate on your initial thoughts and plans for the game. Will you settle in place? Will you try to found a religion? What are your plans for getting the most from the UA and UU? What Victory Condition will you be aiming for?
After you play the map, please post about which civs lost their capitals to, or were eliminated by, other civs. Which AI thrived and which struggled? Did you feel any pressure from any of the AIs from their winning by SV, CV, or Diplo?
Please post the AI scores at your turn of victory (or defeat). I will be compiling those, to see if any obvious trends emerge.
The suggested VC is Domination, but play as you like, and all VC are enabled.
Please note that there are two save files attached to this post. The AI civs in the file with “lite” in its name have each had a settler and worker deleted. As compared to the player, they still start off with an extra warrior, scout, and worker.
This map requires having the DLC map packs.
