Me getting killed in a Deity Game :) and Epicness Poll

[brandon.herren]

Ill try this too pretty soon, but will add two rules for myself. Random Leader and Great wall is forbidden

Good luck without Bowmen.... Will, it be a story?

 

[Akbarthegreat]

Tried it, Gilgy and Vicky killed me on turn 117. Their stack:
GILGY
7Swords
23Chariots
5Horse Archers
2Vultures
2Spears
VICKY
17Axes
10Spears

My 15-20 bowmen just couldn't handle it, even though 1 had Nebuchadnezzar with CG3+C3.
Don't worry Brandon, you will get that kind of stack soon.
I guess we should leave Deity to the super-vets

 

[strijder20]

Well, deity players generally manage not to get attacked in the first place, they don't actually beat two of those stacks

Oh my god...
He must have like 40 production in his capital. Maybe the Deity AI's use worldbuilder...

Is it even possible with Aggressive AI + Always War and Raging barbarians?

 

[spaceman98]

If you are on a 1 tile island, yes.

If you are on a 1 tile island, yes.

until they decide to actually try to kill you...

No, they just have slight advantages for game balance...

Oh my god...

No, you may be luckier. With my horrible luck, both Gilgy and Vicky's stacks turned up at the same time.
Although only Gilgy and his chariots were enough to kill me

If you are on a 1 tile island, yes.

Which is surround by peaks on all the sides.
And maybe something like this:

Remember that Sid difficulty picture? I tried an Always War/Raging Barbs game in it. The landmarks:

Turn 6: Buddhism Founded in a far away land.
Turn 8: Hinduism Founded in a far away land.
Turn 18: Stonehenge Built in a far away land.
Turn 23: Great Wall built in a far away land.
Turn 32: Mongolia sends a SoD.
Turn 33: So does Babylonia.
Turn 35: The Great Lighthouse is built in a far away land.
Turn 36: Austria sends a SoD as well.
Turn 38: The Oracle is built in a far away land.
Turn 39: I lose.

 

[Lelouch]

And you expected something else? In civ 3 it was well known that the AI's blatantly cheated on sid

 

[Dumanios]

I wasn't expecting to die that fast.

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

Ok, I need the link to that mod. I'm going see just how Epic this mode is...

 

[Dumanios]

In due time, my creeper friend, in due time.

Wow, just Wow. Has anybody ever won on this difficulty?

 

[Dumanios]

Nope, I'm the only one who's played it.

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

Whoever beats Sid will get the METY Cookie of Defying the Laws of the Universe...
...which I doubt will ever be given out in my lifetime.

I'm up for the challenge! Just one question, is worldbuilder allowed?

 

[Lelouch]

If yes, I win

 

[thecaesar]

If yes, I win

Even THAT may be debatable...

Not really, just wanted to sound dramatic.
