OCC Bloodlust Challenge

[aneeshm]

I came across this idea at apolyton , & i think it's very cool . You play OCC , then launch the ship , then conquer the world to all but the last city . The turn after the ship arrives , you annex the last city . There are variants , like razing each city and not capturing even one , to make it more challenging . Then there is the option of not using units from captured cities except for defense . If anyone is interested , please post their savegames and logs in this thread .

How are you going to do the spaceship thing in bloodlust?

 

[aneeshm]

You don't actually play the thing in bloodlust mode , it's just the name of the challenge . You play in standard mode , & then , after the ship is launched , play as in a bloodlust game .

For it to be true OCC, you cannot start conquest before arrival, since any city annexation before that point would violate OCC rules.
So, use those 12-15 years to build howitzers and accumulate gold. Then destroy. Look at this nice powergraph I got after my first OCC, which I ended exactly that way.
