Open game: Charadon, patch m

[Jet]

edit -- let's suspend this due to the reports below of too many bugs in patch m. i'm taking the save down. might redo it later.

Spoiler :

A friendly game, for anyone to try, to compare play options and look at the Doviellos with Charadon. Inspired by Doviello late-game economics and the dovillio.

Following The Lonely Hearts Club in the main Strategy & Tips forum: "A small request (not mandatory): we ask the participants to do, if possible, a write-up with the victory save and a description of your game (strategies, techs researched, wars, ...). All the info should be in spoiler tags (to not disturb other people's games). If you want (we would like you to), post reports of the game" at turns 100, 200, 300, etc.

Settings:
* Patch m
* Difficulty: your choice at game start. The game was generated at Immortal, so the AIs start with four zero XP warriors, two zero XP scouts, a worker, the starting settler, and with Agriculture, Ancient Chants, and Crafting for free.
* Speed: your choice at game start
* Normal size, Fractal, low sea level, 2 extra AIs
* No Tech Brokering
* All victories enabled
* I played the start long enough to check that it had an AI reachable by land.



To play the save, download it, rename it to Charadon.CivBeyondSwordWBSave, and double click it.

That thread definitely made me want to fire up a warmongering game as the Doviello but at the moment Patch M has a pretty debilitating event-related bug, so maybe hold up on this until a fix is provided?

Patch m does have its fair share of bugs atm. Although I'd rather play Mahala, I'll be sure to give it a shot when the event bug gets fixed.

Please do not mind what I've said. Quite foolish of me...

OK, I'll take down the save and maybe redo this next patch.

Charadon, I chose because some people said Mahala was easier and maybe OK, whereas maybe Charadon was too weak. The purpose was more the challenge, and to get ideas for how the reportedly more difficult leader can be played. Maybe find hidden strengths, who knows.

I'll play when the patch is fixed.
