Domination wins in Emporer 2.08

^^I tried some scenarios with HC, early Quecha rush and expansion, but also
peaceful building with early cottages, you have more time for this with quecha's. both scenario's worked well.

One thing i noticed: since HC is industrious you can buld stonehenge and oracle rather easy. This is all really nice but it means you get lots of GPs but no Gs. So the strat lightbulb philo, paper and education is off. This is something to think about when you want to play a builders game or get early liberalism.

As for your choice of monarchy instead of Metal casting off the Oracle, i understand it completely now, MC is a better tech to trade but early monarchy around 1500 BC is huge if you have enough food to cash in on HR.

One question, why is normal speed easier than epic or marathon?
also does HC always start on marlbe because of the industrious thread? In both tests i played i got marble in BFC.
 
How early do you need to get to Liberalsim? In my last immortal game, I got there around 800 AD. No GS required.

Early monarchy is huge. No early monarchy means your cities stagnate at size 4-6 from 1250 BC onward. I normally get several size 8-12 cities by 1 AD. Impossible without early monarchy.

Normal speed makes the early game easier. Quechas can be built in 2 turns to respond to an invading barbs and pottery can be researched quickly in case of over expansion.
