so I tried a new strat with the Iruqi on immortal great planes
the plan was to expand as fast as possible in forest only and not bother outside of forest i got lucky in my start and started on the side of the map making my borders less exposed.
the strat was to produce settler warrior settler warrior etc and upgrade to mohwak as soon as possible i went straight for iron working I was not planing on fighting offensive wars because i onyl wanted forest land so the plan was to use the mohawk to make myself very hard to breech defensivly and then get a massive production bonus for the later eras.
Aztecs declared on me and my mohawks fighting in forests slaughted the invasion force. England declared on me with similiar results.
I feared an america invasion who were directly on my norther border which was highly likely until greece declared on them and bashed them down to one city which made it inevitable that greece would declare on me which they did fortuantly my city state ally gave me enough time to get troops to the key positions but they died in the process. the massive production of military units once the log houses was complete soon made greece surrender.
that and the invasion from the other side by russia.
Siam and england declared on me and spain and spain denounced me like clock work as soon as the denounciation expired they denounced straight away again despite the fact we were fighting the same two enemys. makes a lot of sense they were friendly for two turns before denouncing me again which shocked me not the denouncing the friendly status.
so it turned into a slug fest of Siam and England V me and spain and Russia fighting Greece and the inca greece got crippled because they were fighting on two sides but survived as a small empire facing ruin and america took back all there cities and some greek ones. inca got destroyed england got destroyed siam got crippled then i nuked the heck out of russia because they were the last threat and won a space vict.
techs were all very close apart from america who somehow survived because of there unique posion between me who was to busy with siam and england and greece who were getting pelted by russia greece would have died if i hadnt nuked the heck out of russia who would have won the space race had i not.
Spain were crippled by Siam so was Germany.
the whole game was pretty much between me russia and siam.
was one of the better games.
they are very powerful in forests and if you play great plaines you will usually get forests. I bought out as many martime states as i could so my cities could grow with lumber mills and not need so many farms I sold open borders lux resources and spare stratigic resources.
what helped a lot was the ability to produce units so fast I even had a city with 120 production by the end which doesn't beat the 170 production i once achieved but that was an exceptional city anyway.
i managed to get uranium first because i went straight for nukes i was still behind in tecs but only by three or four edinbough a mil state declared on me due to been siams i had no uranium and saw they had four right there. they were cut of and sourronded by my borders i did not need to be worrying about them and did not want peace with siam plus they had uranium there was only one optionso to whoever said that invading city states makes no sense it does in situations like this.
anyway given the right circumstances the irouqi are hugely powerful.
