I got beaten by kiffles, i was trying the lib settler spam sword upgrade.
He ghandi ele rushed me - very similar to my ghandi rush strat posted earlier....
I was japan. Only 2 iron and it was 5 turns from my cap plus had to buy a tile to get it.
I aborted the settler spam after 3 city total and built spears, but lost the 2nd city in a clickfest.
T30ish
2 eles 2 war vs war and spear
Then he pillaged my iron with an ele that went to my back door and stumbled across my 2 iron, quite lucky.
If he hadnt got my iron i could have defended the cap. But he had swords T40ish. My 2 swords and 2 spear were not enough vs his 3 swords 3 eles.
so i think the settler spam is still vulnerable to a 1 city unit spam, city defence is lower, esp with mounted range, eles are great, maybe war chariots would also work, even archers if good terrain and an extra melee.
Of course i should have expected it, i took a risk with minimal units, delayed iron cost me and my 2nd city was towards delhi (cerro de potosi +10 gold).
yeah that's was a great game for me ! I almost concede when i saw the civ. But i try and I made it.
Basicly, with gandhi, you can't city spam. So i decide to go for trad and defend without believe in it. I elephant rush and manage to get his cerro de potosi city. After i sent an elephant looking for his weak point : iron ! I coordinate my action to pillage him while I attack.
