Rat26 - Random AWE

Turn 0:
see we're on 64% of world area. will raze cities to avoid domination victory.
armies are already on their way to island.
minor mm to get us one or the other tank a turn earlier.
we no longer need most of the mp, but let them be as long we don't pay any unit support.

IBT:
mongol cav travels south


Turn 1:
setup in elephantine enables me to raze it without losses.
same with alexandria

IBT:
lose tank to egyptian cav
cleo lands settler near spot just razed


Turn 2:
set new builds over 5 turns to wealth, rest tanks
bombard abydos with limited sucess, but our destroyers here can take care of the rest. razed by mdi army.
sink cleos boats and enslave settler
after destrying ulanbaaters rax last turn, all units are full again anyway. but our tank is up to the task and razes it.
bombard (arty) and raze byblos

IBT:
lose cav set to avoid cleo from using our rails


Turn 3:
raze asyut
raze pi-ramesses
raze darhan and destroy mongols
fortify most units, this will be over next turn. could have been this with slighly better timing.

IBT:
Thebes deposes
so does size 1 heliopolis, where most of our bombers were located...


Turn 4:
avaris razed
thebes razed
recapture heliopolis
egyptians destroyed

IBT:
hitting space mindlessly until


WE WIN

PS: could not upload autosave from last turn (size). will look at the replay and then try to load, save and upload again. with this one you'll have to play last turn again...
it's the right save now. had to play last turn again and captured cities instead of razing.

Excellent, a thoroughly convincing win. And good job on the finish, I thought it might take 5 or 6 turns to capture the NE island as well.
 
Way to go guys!:goodjob: A very convincing win. Continents definitely added a wrinkle to this one, compared to our previous Pangaea efforts where 4 unit cav armies were able to carry the day. I kinda envy you last players getting to play with tanks and bombers and all.
 
great game guys :goodjob:

Now, is everyone up for Greebley's suggested challenge of a OBC at monarch difficulty. There is still a discussion about which Civ. Celts do seem good as they also have the agri trait
 
I like it. Sounds like a nice change. At Monarch it doesn't sound incredibly difficult, even with being AW. We'll just have to be judicious with early exploration and work hard to grow fast and keep the people happy, though at Monarch happiness is a bit easier. I'm in.
 
I like Persia and the Celts with early, good UU's. Other choices might be the Iroquois, the Maya, Babylon and the Romans with tough or useful UU's. Anyone agricultural will be a leg up on growth and assimilation of captured towns. Resources and luxes will be harder at first, until we capture some enemy towns near them, as colonies don't tend to last.
 
I'm up for another, and OBC AW Monarch sounds good to me. I like Celts and Persia the best, although Greeks, Rome, or France would also be fun.
 
I think we can take Persia as the agri trait isn't that important. We don't need to set up a settler factory.

One more question though, do we play this on continents or pangaea?
 
Persia on Continents sounds fine. Just hope Iron is handy...
 
Oh well ;)

I like 60 or 70 percent continents
 
ok, will start tonight on 70% continents as Persia.
 
I tried to start the new game yesterday and believe it or not, I only drew ridiculous starts. After 10 attempts I gave up :mad:

If anyone wants to start the new game as Rat27, please go ahead. maybe you are more lucky. I would choose IW as the first tech to make sure we get imoortals.
 
I've found a couple decent ones in just a few tries. I will try to get some more so we'll have choices. Are we looking for shields, food, or luxes? Or something that is a good balance? I assume settings are allow the normal victory types, no respawn, no culturally linked, no wonder victory. 70% water, continents, random opponents, wet/warm/ 4 billion years, no barbs, Monarch level. All those satisfy everyone?
 
your settings sound just right :goodjob:
 
I ran the most promising through to IW, no iron found:( Will run a few more.
