It's conquest only. Every last AI must be squashed.
Who's still alive in this game, besides Jaffa?

I thought it was just me

Well, it MAY still be just you, JT. I'm not sure I have the energy/time/interest for the mop up here, as armies don't fully recover in a turn at a barracks, so it's a little slow going, yet wholly a foregone conclusion.
I'm of a mind to start a new Deity SG, though. Under the new patch, after I finish Epic Seven. Plunge on in and see how the waters are. Question is, who would want to play on Deity??

hmmm, I said no SG's damnit. But what better way to be introduced to deity than to play last in an SG. Hmmm. Tempted. Very tempted. I'll get back to you, but you have about a 70% chance of me wanting to join a deity SG. Provided I get to go last of course .

Oh, and btw Jaffa, if Sirian ain't helping out you are alone on this one. If I want a mop up operation, I have about 10 solo games sitting on my hard drive waiting to be mopped up. Not to mention Epic 5, and Epic 7 (still undecided on epic 6).

I'll join a Deity SG if you start one, although I've hardly mastered that difficulty.

Has anyone started a new game with Emperor and patch 1.29?
I just started a game, and have Greece declare war on me in 2750 BC! The took a defended Memphis, and the game was effectively lost. You can't survive a lost city that early at emperor.
I am wondering - fluke - or has the game gotten nastier. I had 2 cities, with 6 warriors - but was still considered weak vs. Greece.

I'm playing a SP game of Deity and had no troubles with aggression that early. Emperor AI is MORE aggressive at starting wars than Deity, though. So I don't know. I drew a DISMAL starting location and am playing it out, but my land is so sad that it may mark my first loss on Deity. I'm having a blast!
I did read from someone on the Epic board that "farmer gambit type games are in trouble". So that's at least one other bit of evidence in your support. There seems to be SOME kind of change, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Here is how it goes, the Units are NOT just one unit as the pictures show in fact there are only 2 units which only has one vhiecale:Tactical nuke and ICBM. In the way I see a single unit ranges from 400-500 vheicles, men, planes, ships. Its pretty obvious I mean how can a single infantry defend agianst multiple attacks from different angles?

Is anyone gonna finish this game off?
Oh, and Obsessed Nuker, this is what's called a "variant" game. The idea of variant games is to impose additional difficulty to oneself so that you get extra challenge and enjoyment from the game.
In this game, the idea was that we would use our initial army to start assaulting enemy cities and eventually get more armies via great leaders and the millitary academy. But those plans kinda went out the back door thanks to a very weedy move from a certain someone (wonder who that could have been
).
