3 turn conquest? Very impressive.

Indeed. @EMan, maybe you would like to tell everyone how you did it?

 

[bluejay]

Just look at his saved games, where all turns are there.

1. Inca for 2-move Jasqui. Barbarians on. Opponents: Maya and Iroquois.
2. Only use starts with a barbarian camp in the initial 9 squares.
3. Only use those that give a free warrior.
4. Join worker, rush a Jasqui.
5. Repeat until both warrior and Jasqui find an enemy capital close and undefended.

Doesn't work well at difficulty levels that start with a defender.

Thanks for the write-up, bluejay..........You're right on the money. (I'll put together a reference thread when I get back from climbing in Oregon........figured with a save EVERY turn of the game it would be pretty much self-explanatory!)

Credits to DaveMcW for "inventing" the Inca/Chasqui Scout/Hut Warrior "Quick Win".........AND Moonsinger/Dianthus for their MapFinder program........Good stuff guys & gal!

P.s. Generally speaking, the AI doesn't have time to build a Warrior in these games..........But, I think one of them had a Conscript Warrior in the capital (Viz. Popped from a Hut nearby.)

 

[AutomatedTeller]

wow.

Very good, EMan!

 

[AutomatedTeller]

well, you can do it for those that have a defender, as long as they are just warriors. It's a little close...

 

[A_Turkish_Guy]

nice job.
