Jaguar Warriors

[mdm]

Are awesome. My current game is amazing. I sent one (1) Jaguar Warrior out, and they discovered the Spanish. I wouldn't have minded to begin another game, so I decided to attack Madrid. One warrior down. But they had another... retreat to hills to heal. They still have warrior... hm, no spearmen. Full health, attack. Win. Capture Madrid, and gain three slaves because I'm guessing the settler they were working on took priority over spearmen.

It was awesome. I also had regerate Civs on so now the Spanish are screwing up Roman and Greek land.

And now I have a VERY significant lead over my opponents.

 

[RegentMan]

Wow! Looks like you had a lot of luck. I am too cautious so I've never attacked with my jags like that.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Not to mention you kicked off your GA while you have 1 city & maybe 2 units in the field.

 

[mdm]

yeah that sucked... I guess it just helped to secure my lead even more. Also got ahead on tech a bit.

 

[Gogf]

Well, they only have one attack, so taking out the spearman was pure luck.

 

[LLXerxes]

Amazing! I don't really play as the aztecs though.

 

[Gainy]

Well, they only have one attack, so taking out the spearman was pure luck.

But there was no spearman

My top few scores have come from Jag Rushes. Harder to do with C3C, but still really effective

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Jag rushes are alot of fun. The only bad part is the complete waste of a GA.

 

[dgfred]

Jag rush can work very well ; but I have never had a 1 Jag rush
. I'm like RegentMan and need a little better odds
than that .

 

[rcoutme]

In C3C an even more powerful unit is the Mayan javelin thrower. It captures units about 1/3 of the time and will do so with barbarians as well. In addition, the Incan scout now has the same numbers as the Jaguar warrior (without the same upgrade tree though) and can move through hills and mountains without penalty. I believe that the Jag. Warrior can go through jungle w/o penalty now to make up for the advance of the Incan scout.

 

[Gainy]

Was this changed in the 1.2 patch? I didn't know Jags could move freely in jungle, and don't chasqui scouts cost 20 shields? (opposed to the Jags who cost 15)

 

[mdm]

Yeah Chasqui Scouts suck, heh

I think they should be 15 shields (with mountain ability), and Jags 15 with jungle ability, but that's just me.

 

[rcoutme]

I stand corrected, the Chasqui Scout is 20 shields and gets mountain and hill movement, but the Jaguar Warrior is 15 shields (up from 10 prior to C3C) but does not get any terrain movement bonus.

Jag rushes can be great fun. Took out Scandinavia on turn twelve once (eight turns to build two Jags, four to move them to Ragnar's stack loc).

 

[Randy]

7 minute game. Tiny world, 3 opp. some easy level (I don't remember the level)

I sent out the first Jaguar Warrior (luckly pick the correct dirrection) found London, it was empty. I went in took London.

Sent my second Jaguar Warrior in a different dirrection. Found Russia and attacked, it had one Warrior. I won. (Golden age Jaguar Warrior every turn size 3 city)

Keep 3rd in capitial.

Then my first warrior found America, Attacked and won. sent 4th Jaguar Warrior to help. also sent second. by the time all 5 or 6 were there attacked 2 Spearmen, losing 1 Jaguar Warrior. Took Washington.

@Randy, No matter what level . You are pronounced
of the Jag rush .
