Most lucky spawn?

What was your luckiest spawn?
Mine would be when I was the French and Strasbourg which flipped to me has TWENTY axemen in it that all joined me too, I just went ahead and threw them all against the walls of the Roman cities and took them all with ease. I was shocked by how good it was (On a related side note, I think military defeats and deaths should decrease stability).

 

Yes, 3000 BC France spawns can be outragious. Germany too, with all those barbs flipping.

 

I routinely venture beyond the Great Wall and kill these barbs to avoid them flipping to the Europeans. Free XP too.

 

I dont like building the great wall as Rome...feels like cheating.

 

I once started as the Spanish on Emperor, 3000 BC. Rome had built the Great Wall, and I flipped so many units that I had to delete them because I couldn't even pay their upkeep with 0% research.

 

Lucky don't know, how about most unlucky?

Really? Woohoo, this mod does indeed rock my friends.

 

Mine was when I was playing as America. After the first turn, I got the 'greed' quest, for the horses that are near Washington. When the cities on the eastern seaboard flipped to me, as well as completing this quest, Britain & France declared war on me, leaving me with an army of about 15 cavalry units, and another 10 riflemen .

 

I once tried a 3000 BC as Vikings, and I got about 10 extra units from barbs/Romans/Carthaginians.

 

I once had a 3000 BC start as Vikings, where a Lulea with Great Lighthouse, Temple of Arthemis AND the Colossus in it flipped to me! No, was just kidding... =)

 

I once had a dozen dog soldiers flip to me as America... they are expensive to upgrade.

 

Something like that happened to me as Mongolia, China had dozens of units in their northern-most city(Boutou, I think) and had the Great Library, Oracle, and the Confucian(and Taoist) Holy Shrine. I really don't know how they managed it because that city sucks in production(Guess they got lucky with GE's and moved them to Boutou). I thought it was amazing(and stupid, all at once).

 

Anyone had wonders flip to them?

Closest I've come to that is 3000BC games as Arabia - sometimes Baghdad, Parsa, or Niwt-Rst have some awesome stuff in them

 

Les Légions française de Burdigala

No I don't speak french!

 

I remember someone got a start where the babylonians won a Historical Victory before they even started playing.

 

Persia on emperor, flipped 30+Chariots and conquered Babylon, it had Great wall so then I was left with 20 highly promoted units and the Great Wall! My empire got big! and I spammed settlers and axemen and gifted them to Egypt while taking over everything else, oh the joys

 

That's pretty awesome. They were near Caucasus and flipped to me

Why is Byzantium purple? Is this the playable Byzantine mod?
