This is just a challange game that started out as a discussion with my friend about how strong the chariot archer unit is in civ 5 (and it lead to how extremely good India's War Elephant is.) A comparison between Attila's Horse Archer followed, and the expectation with Attila is that you can conquer a few capitals before turn 100 without difficulty.
I was confident that India can do the same with the War Elephants since I consider them the superior unit overall, compared to the Horse Archer. So I rolled a random pangaea standard map and started the game with a clear objective: capture 2 capitals - but over the game I decided I want to capture 3 and show that Elephants are really great. My friend also managed to do it too.
I decided to make this a challange. So, if anybody is interested to test their skills in combat, go ahead if you are brave enough. Can you capture at least 2 capitals before turn 100? It is not so easy so anybody who can do it has my praise!
Rules and Goals:
1. One attempt. No map knowledge or savescumming.
2. Maximum turn limit to capture at least 2 capitals is 100. Rest of the game doesn't matter. Game ends.
3. Rating to determine best achievers decided by tie-breakers: number of capitals captured/ faster turn, / highest Score.
4. To show the world how you did it, post your final save file. If you want, of course.
the start is this:
List of finishers.
Tiberiu - 3 capitals, turn 96, 498 Score.
@bobbobbybobbob - 2 capitals, turn 96, 565 Score.
