News: GOTM39 Pre-game Discussion

One more question, what does mean mids and CS sling.

I figure out Caste system sling or Civil service sling and pyramid but I can't be less sure.

Right, mids are Pyramids.
CS is Civil Service; CoL is Code of Laws
The sling is using the Oracle to "slingshot" getting the tech.

I've only been playing xOTM for a few months, so I will let others answer your first question.

Welcome to the forums, metalmadt!

<oops - Thanks dalamb. My bad. >

As far as I understand the rules, nobody who has started the game (ie opened the game save file) can answer your goal-setting question or any other question that might provide insight into how to play this particular game, and isn't really even supposed to post here at all. For a larger population of people who could give some general help, you should ask in the Strategy and Tips forums.

Yeah, I certainly have plenty to say, as this one has frustrated the heck out of me, after great possibilities. But, I'm waiting patiently for the spoilers Just hope I remember all the details by then.

You do not post in the pregame after starting.

@Adama
The strategies described in your post are not warmonger but wondermonger strategies.
The basic warmonger strategy is - worker>warrior>warrior>settler>barracks> troops>troops>....till the end of the game nothing more.
You dont need a single wonder to kill all the AIs you know.
The default tech aproach is AH or BW first>then cats>then if you can reach all the AIs or have enough for dom - get the victory, if Astro is required then you need to get GS and to lblub it and then to finish the game.

You make it all sound so easy! (And when my troops go on strike and start disappearing into the forests I'll wonder just waht part of your strategy I got wrong)

As usual, hw is a man of few words but deep content.

No strikes ... you get all your gold from plunder ... if you are fast enough (I am not ... ).
