News: COTM45 Pre-Game Discussion

I am guessing we get SOME AA UU's, but not a lot. Even conquest class would be tough if you had to deal with 3.1.2 war chariots. Can you imagine trying fast conquest with a 1.1.4 hoplite?

This will likely be very, very difficult.

Depends if there are any 5.2.1 Immortals around to help fight them on your behalf

I guess this will be a fun game.
Time to download the save.

I guess we're talking about UUs because somebody would win before sipahi appears. Starting in the center of the continent, concentrating each kind of luxure near its civ, and placing more rivers on the AI's territory would cause need of sipahi.

So I've made sure they have decently easy access to required resources (part of the map tweaking I mentioned), and that they are generally available early. (No Germans or Americans, etc.).

Traditionally, making resources easy for the AI to hook up has had to mean putting the resources underneath AI capitals. After all, when you are as dim as the AI, nothing is easy.

Looks fun. Hopefully I'll have time to play it.

By the time Siphai come along, the only dangerous UUs will be other cavalry replacements, so wars shouldn't be too difficult. What will be tough though the AA/early MA without Siphai.

Is no-one else worried about hordes of Enkidus?
