To be fair, he was gonna die anyway. Why not cause you mild inconvenience on the way down?

I would think that it would be more inconvenient to the player to loose several experienced units trying to take down 2 spearmen in a city, rather than just one. It only looks like Kirejara has around 8 units in that stack, ready to attack Copan. That's cutting it pretty close to take a city defended by 2 spearmen. But he is fortunate that he isn't attacking with tanks.

 

[Kirejara]

Oh, that spearman never reached my workers or reduced my attack force. One of the Knights in Chichen Itza took care of him.

And those eight Knights and Templar Knights (5/3/2 replacing the Crusader) got no problem with the remaining defender, also thanks to the Terrible Cannonfire from the sea (pun intented ).

Hi again,

I finished my last game with Domination for Russia.

For my new game on a large archi map at regent I was initially not pleased until I scouted more of the world and received four leaders in a row (which I used for Lighthouse, Temple of Artemis, Hagia Sofia and Leonardos Workshop).

I have got a large continent on my own (three times larger than the mongols as largest rival) with two luxuries, horses, iron and salpeter. And I get most ancient techs via scouting warriors.

Unfortunatly I do not have the RNG-Number, since I started another test game after this start.

 

[Kirejara]

Murphy´s Law: Everything that can go wrong, goes wrong.

I do not have the RNG from that fantastic start of my last comment and the savegame malfunctioned (autosaves are useless too, since I created another map for unit testing).

So I started a new small map with 8 civilisations... I mean 7 civilisations (what Dutch?).

And no, I do not want a mayan city in place of the former Rotterdam.

Oh, wow.

 

[darski]

what level is that? seems strange.

 

[Gamemaster77]

I believe, it's on Monarch, but I think I did have raging barbarians on. It's kind of hard to see since the image is zoomed out but there are actually two barbarians in the camp so the one would have had no problem chasing me around.

 

[choxorn]

Well, only solution is to reload a new start.

That, or settle in place, kill the camp, and immediately lose all your money to the barbarians.

 

[Gamemaster77]

Yea, it wasn't a real game I meant to play anyways. Funny nonetheless though. I was just testing to see if I could get my portable version of civIII to work so I could play it in school and such without installing it.

 

[Bowsling]

That's a pretty nice bonus. I doubt they'll take all 35 gold, so you're probably up some. Of course, they might also harass your worker.

 

[Puppeteer]

Very odd. Is that a normal epic start?

I have found that barbs will just fortify and give you a grace period for the first 20 or so turns. I have had early-popped barbs step out of my territory and fortify until the grace period is over. I'm not so sure that I'd put my worker near him, though.

I'm not sure what would happen if you move your settler; they might chase it since there are no borders.

Funny thing is I actually don't remember having a start on a forest tile.

I mean never, ever.

I don't think I have had one either.

 

[Kirejara]

Wait... our only city is named Athen.

 

[Bratmon]

Well, if you made Entremont grow faster, it would start to exist. Think man!

 

[Lanzelot]

Admit it: you went over to the Celtic capital and abducted their domestic advisor! Now she's confusing the capital names...

 

[Puppeteer]

The hoplite looks funny, too...

 

[Quintillus]

Some nice hardy tundra elephants there. Hannibal probably would've liked to have some of those elephants in the Alps.
