Deity (vs)Shaka Game III!

[Cheeze]

AWESOMENESSESESSESSEESE!!!!
Sorry I believe I was a bit over-excited there for a moment... But this is great!!
I can't believe the advantage you're giving the computer in this one(especially that one guy, uhh what's-his-face with the really ugly mug and undersized brain and the funny name [from offstage: 'Shaka!'] ah yes Shaka I knew him well...)(yes I have a stage ) (yes I'm rambling)
Anyways I really look forward to reading this and rambling on during my little praise posts and thread jacking. Oh wait. Did I say that out loud? Anyways, to sum it up:

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Awesome. IIIIITTTT'''SSS ANNIHILATION TIME!

 

[Dachs]

Time for another version of another Italian's Roman game...Now THIS is a bad start!! w00t!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

This isn't nearly as bad a start as Tr1cKy's.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

And Who Voted That This Isn't Worth The Read? Find The Heretic And Burn Him!!!

 

[azzaman333]

What great luck, you start right next to 2 civs with very early 3 defence UU. But at least it wasnt shaka.

And Who Voted That This Isn't Worth The Read? Find The Heretic And Burn Him!!!

Yes! Burn him! *runs away while mob is still looking for the heretic...*

 

[andis-1]

@ dvd, would u post the map here in the forums so we all could try the same challenge (i would play this with same rules but on pangea)

 

[Dachs]

This isn't nearly as bad a start as Tr1cKy's.

That's why I said another version. They're similar on the surface, and I wasn't looking too hard.

 

[DvD-IT]

@ You Who Are Debating Over My Map : No, this ain't a really bad start as Tr1cKy's one. Well, just one luxury over the whole island, but afterall land is decent and space too. That's the first time I manage to have quite the same amount of cities of my neighbour.

@ Lord Iggy: Yes, we must find him, wherever he\she\it is! This is a grave misdeed it can't be allowed to pass unindifferently!

EDIT: My espionage found Shaka went here and sabotaged polls Shall I take this by reliable? Or execute my Espionage Center chiefs?

@ azzaman: Definitely. Hannibal's UU are a pain, they are even better than a Pikeman and I got to deal with them with Legios. Oh yes, Shaka...

@ andis: Sure--eh, WHAT? TAKE HIM! BURN! BURN!

In 1075 BC a nice stack of 7 legios (more will come) is ready to attack the Carthaginians!
Furthermore, the Greeks are at war with them. This will make things much simpler...

An insignificant but still land robber 1-pop Carthaginian city has been dearly demolished by the Roman forces! With rejoice of Hannibal who just starts to know it ain't good to screw with the Romans...
That legio triggers a golden age! With 7 cities, I get from -2 gpt to +14, doubled Science and production, Great Library finishing in 20 turns! Things are really going well.

And, in 975, the crazy named city of Hippo falls in Roman--MY hands. With great rejoyce, that time, of me who managed to kill 2 Mercenaries without giving my legios a scratch.

Well, I can officially say, the party begins!

Oh I was talking about a chilling news.
Well... huh...

I... met...

Shaka!

 

[Dominus Romae]

Good story! DVD-IT is gonna burn Shaka at the stake after some celebrations. This, of course, after an overwhelming victory over incompetent Zulu generals.

 

[andis-1]

Errhh.... wasn't the attack supposed to be 4....

 

[Lord_Iggy]

It's even worse with high movement.

 

[DvD-IT]

@dominus romae: Sure, I will overwhelm those--impis--

uh oh.

What a colossal mistake How could I...? Well forgive me, and get on with it. Afterall, I don't think I'm having Medieval Wars with Shaka...

EDIT: I got a way to work around it! With C3MT I can modify the global stats of each unit.
Okay, using a program like that is cheating. But I'm just rightly modifying a unit stats...

Shall I proceed...?

 

[Dominus Romae]

Looks interesting. I will mod some units, too. Like that PTW French musketeer.

 

[Freedom]

I see nothing wrong with it... oh, and I'm looking forward to you updating

 

[Dachs]

Hippo Regius was actually an important city in RL. In fact, I think the Western Church had a bishopric there until the Muslims came and destroyed everything. Worse than Sheep . You should go through with it and correct units to mod specifications. Technically, it's not cheating, since you made a mistake.

 

[Sybot]

I don't mind if you do that, but Shaka might be annoyed if you are tweaking with his units...therefore keep it up!

 

[andis-1]

Fix it if you want it. btw, looked for the another UU you added for zulus, must say you're DooMed when they become available (unless you start using spearmen)

 

[Icmancin]

Lol. Wouldn't that be something! 4 speed, ancient modern armors! Hmmm... Shaka is on an island so it isn't as bad as having him on the mainland... right?

EDIT: Downloaded the scen. Good luck come Industrial Ages, howly sh+t.
