Hi all, starting another shadow game.
I played a few games following the advise from the last one (focusing hard on food -> whipping and stop wasting worker turns) and it helped tremendously; I can get a massive lead up until around t170-200 when it falls apart. By that point I'm too far behind in tech, being unable to trade for any techs, ai tend to start getting free religion and I start losing my allies, ai starts getting emancipation and that only further disrupts my tech plans, and so on.
I consistently have the most land by far, and I'm still getting so far behind by this point.
Balanced map, standard size and speed.
Random gave us Genghis Khan
Kept restarting till random gave me aggressive since I think my wars are super ineffective and could use some help on that.
I consistently wipe out 1 civ by ~t120 and I think that's worth it, but basically any war after that point I think ends up pretty poorly. I don't make enough progress fast enough and then economy gets crippled by war unhappiness.
Imperialistic will be quite nice since I'll probably be going to war a lot
Keshik looks pretty meh, I never go horseback riding early game
Ger looks nice, lots of xp with our extra great generals
Mongols start with Hunting + The wheel
Start:
Moved my scout south onto the PH:
Honestly not sure here, I'd hate to settle on a FP, but if I move to the PH then I lose that cow, plus I don't want to build capital right next to tundra. I also don't really want to farm those FP since I'll want cottages on them all. Maybe move onto the marble? Or maybe 1SE onto that grassland so I get all the FP for a nice Bureaucracy capital?
I also downloaded BUG mod which was suggested, though I'm not aware of what it's capable of yet
Side note, is it possible to get the graphics from bat mod with bug? Like this
