Role Playing Challenge: "The Full Monty"

[Zanttu]

First tech should be Archery. Then Mining-BW-IW?

Why archery when there are no barbs? I highly doubt that even monty would declare before 2000BC.. I'd go for Agriculture-Mining-BW to see if there's any copper nearby, and then decide on archery.

Imo settling on the plains hill isn't worth it, there would be so many water tiles in the BFC and you might lose resources.. With this kind of map it should be possible to settle buffer cities around your capital so that they will likely be targets of possible attacks instead of your capital.

I don't know if you've done it intentionally, but world wrap is set to flat.

For full madness, you need it on "toroidal" so that it wraps in both x and y axes.

 

[schwartz]

Patagonia:
Yes it's flat world intentionally, the donut is completely surrounded by ocean so Toroidal wouldn't really change much.
Without further ado:

Round 1: (4000 BC - 2320 BC) - 42 Turns
Move the scout NW, which reveals nothing fascinating and found in place after counting food to see that the corn+clams will allow me to work every hill tile in the BFC.

Stone! Pyramids gambit for sure, now.

Chose to go with a worker and agriculture for the corn.

Turn 2 brings us the first Monty, we each slaughter 50,000 slaves to commemerate this auspicious occasion. He came from the immediate west and we can see his lands in the summary.

9: One of the Montys founds Buddhism.

After Agriculture I chose mining next.

Within the first 15 turns, both early religions have fallen (Hinduism went turn 12) and I've met 3 Montys all in the west. Brown and Mustard Yellow Montys are within 10 tiles of each other.

Next builds after the worker were warrior, warrior, workboat, warrior, settler.

Chose Fishing after Mining, will go BW next.

Umm, we appear to have 2 pairs of Montys of the same color

Stopped in turn 42, after BW came in. Just one visible source of copper so far. First settler is 1 turn away and I think the city should go here:

Here's the full map:

Capital:

Where should I be teching to next? Archery is a placeholder, I think Masonry makes sense and get a few cities out ASAP.
As you can see, we've met no fewer than 10 Montys within 40 turns and most if not all have a second city already although I haven't seen anyone with axes/spears yet.

Save:

The green ones are definitely not of the same color. The one who has a score of 110 looks a bluer green than the one with 112.

On the other hand the blue-violet ones do look the same...

 

[Johnpecan]

If you look closely, those monty's aren't the same colors, just incredibly similar! The purples look like Vikings / India. Not sure of the greens. But I've seen this happen before when Vikings / India are in the same map, a very similar color!

 

[fisherpb]

If you guys recall, I am the one who suggested the RPC title. I think I deserve some kind of credit for that

 

[schwartz]

I appear to have missed some copper when I glanced at this.... There's one in the extreme west of the visible land too and another in the south.

 

[Krick19]

Too bad the one to the west has been taken...

 

[tycoonist]

just one piece of advice: be careful about crashing your economy....

 

[Rubbaduck]

You have some VERY nice grasslands rivers in the cetral continent, near the copper.
NOw, that I think of it, the policestate gambit is most definately a great idea, and you have stone, and no wondermongering nor industrious competitors, so go for it, and then conquer everything with the power of authoritarianism!
Too bad you only get diplo bonuses if the others are also in pstate.

EDIT: I would put the copper city 1N, since it doesn't need the wheat which could be used by a city to claim the gold and some hills for production, which just might be a key element in this game.

Just how many cities do you think he'll be able to get with peaceful expansion here?

Though I suppose the gold would be worth it if he can reach it in time, those kind of tiles can go a long way in keeping your early economy strong.

 

[BornSlippy]

Thinking about the location of your next city: I suggest you split the corn and the pigs between two cities, and make them both commerce cities - though the third one has to be somewhere in the future, since you need production 10000x more than a second commerce city. Or you can take both the corn and the pigs and make it a GB city, but it seems a waste...

 

[Stewie0416]

I think that gold will help, so keep REXing west, i thnk u get about 3-5 cities before u get DoW.

 

[CivCorpse]

I did an all monty game offline, but with unrestricted leaders. There was a Monty of Rome. He was my neighbor. he had iron....bad bad things happened to me.

 

[apenpaap]

Settle the city on top of the bronze, or they'll pillage it. I think you should be going for pyramids next, while your second city should be cranking out axemen.
With all these aztecs around, Axemen will probably be more useful then jaguars, so you can delay IW for some time.

 

[Stewie0416]

Is he still playing this game? i remember the craze for 18 monty after that confusing Khmer game.....yuk

 

[schwartz]

I had played another set, but then had a PC crash and lost the saves..
It was kind of boring anyway..

 

[Mack_Jagger]

So, no Monty madness I guess?

is that feature available for warlords?

 

[CCRunner]

No its not. Unrestricted leaders is only in BTS.
