Post a (tough) Deity map for me to play

[Tobiyogi]

Yeah, I got my best AW results with strong unrestricted combos, so maybe for a Livestream either a strong combo for Deity, or a very weak one on immortal
Maybe it's just an illusion, sometimes i got the impression that unrestricted confuses the AI in its usual patterns, like some peacemonger not knowing what to do with Keshiks etc...

 

[sylvanllewelyn]

"Always War" is boring. I think "random personalities", "aggressive AI", and "unrestricted leaders" at Immortal is more entertaining to watch. The viewers are kept in suspense.

A truly terrible capital I generated today with Julius Caesar. Hope the file works as I have an old version of BUG mod.

Spoiler :

Other than the rubbish plains cow start this seems pretty playable, settling 1N gets double plains cow + iron + copper for a production bonanza but it's not like you'd have any reason to do that on turn 1.

 

[Sleeping Dragon]

And a somewhat odd isolation map with Cyrus.

Spoiler :

I swear I didn't world builder this. If you step one square to the southeast...

 

[Deathcrush]

hey , what's happening with you Lain? Long time no see from you.

 

[Pangaea]

Have probably taken a break again. Seems like he gets tired for the game from time to time, and needs time away from it. Have checked out his channel over the last few weeks too, but no activity. Saw he had begin with streams and said it would be a weekly thing. Hopefully he gets back to it eventually. (And please turn down/off the music and sounds so we can focus on what you say)

 

[Fippy]

Lain is fine, i talked with him in pm and he was just very busy with work and writing.

 

[Deathcrush]

Glad to hear!
I am stalking his channel every now and then and I understand the burnout very well - just eager to see something new or a completion of the Mehmed game.

 

[Pangaea]

Thanks Fippy, good to hear. I get bad burnouts regularly too, so I understand that part of it. Sounds like it's different this time (maybe related to the relatively new job), but I've heard him mention burnout before, and thus needing a break from the game. Look forward to getting him back and seeing new games. It's great for learning purposes.

 

[FlyinJohnnyL]

I can relate as well. My interest in the game seems to follow a sine wave pattern, complete with pure apathy at times which can relate to the troughs, as well as playing to the detriment of other in real life stuff during the peaks.

New video is up.

 

[Pangaea]

Cool. Just played a Frederick game myself, so may be fun to see how he uses him (although I doubt he intends to go to space! )

 

[Fish Man]

@Lain is back!!!

 

[soundjata]

@Lain Amazing performance on that Freddy game

Straight to the plan, zero risk, zero detour... So precise!

Spoiler :

I was when you could not decide yourself to research the "bottom tech line" (mc>mach>feud>guilds)

Could it be that the rule to to always go for the "top tech line" (aest/music...) has just been deconstructed ?

By the way have you been inspired by my recent post on the matter (rushing canons without paper) or is this just coincidental?

Now I'm playing a Qin Pangea; thinking of another way of rushing chocoboys through hanging gardens (no stone)

edit : another matter worth some LOL :

Spoiler :

1. blocked in some corner
2. see marble
3. rush marble
4. rush literature
5. build TGL with some 1F1H tile
6. tech COL (too late for confusionism)
7. bulb philo (spread the faith)
8. spam some GS and some GM
9. 6500 gold in bank
10. hammer everything
11...
12. Got three spare great scientists frack this I'm gonna bulb scientific method (anihilate TGL)

Current map as per request .

@Lain, for a different type of challenge, have you ever considered trying the Dan Quayle mod? Basically its the American Civ led by Dan Quayle, but instead of a better UU and UI, you get worse ones (like 1/2 speed workers)

Does it have a new, idiotic quotation for all techs to accompany the Future Tech one?

Hunting - "You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and as far as I'm concerned, happy campers you will be."
Meditation - "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not having a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
Education - "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."
Banking - "Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement."
Constitution - "We shouldn't be burdened with all the technicalities that come up from time to time with shrewd, smart lawyers interpreting what the laws or the Constitution may or may not say"
Democracy - "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy---but that could change."
Satellites - "Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we believe it is infinite" or "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
Civil Service - "I just don't believe in the concept that someone should make their whole career in public service."

spoilers for part 2

Spoiler :

Why did none of the AIs research feudalism? that's so bizarre. I've never seen that, even on lower difficulty levels they beeline to feudalism. And it's not like they were all peaceful or teching slowly, either.

 

[Henrik75]

This is a challenging start for saladin on deity I just pulled myself and am going to try and probably miserably fail, if you're interested to play it here you go.

@Lain
Do you have a starting save for your Fredrich game? (It's the last game you have without funky settings. )
