Ace of Spades
GEM Fanboy
Since I currently lack the time to play large scenarios like the GEM scenarios, but still wanted to play some civ now and then, I have taken to playing some random games using the GEM mod.
What has proven to be especially funny is using the GEM mod for one city challenges. I like to play with teams, so I get to have a partner capable of taking all the cities that I prepare for conquest. Usually, my team lags behing early in the game but takes up speed later on, when I get my city running. With Globe Theatre, National Epic and National Park the city can grow to insane population, due to the modified merchant and Great Merchant specialists of GEM which give you 1 or 3 respectively.
Combine this with Pacifism, Caste System and Representation to get a city with an insane size and science output. See for yourself, on the attached screenshot...
Best Regards,
Martin
