Sheaim vs. Infernals: What advantage?

[scutarii]

do not forget from game options to activate "double AC speed " choice.

Playing in emperor, time only victory condition, 4horsemen+iras+avatar of wrath wiped out 2 civs and weakened the rest, who were killed by me - hyborem.

In victory condition it did not help: playing in normal speed, I still have to press enter 246 times, before I can claim my "time victory" I hoped that by wiping everything off, I'm winner anyway.........

boooooring..........

If you want a conquest win, don't play "time only".

I wanted to get time victory with devils: I started from last place in terms of score( after being summoned) and presumed nice challenge. But I did not expect how AC units ripped world apart and game became pretty boring after 1/3 amount of time played...

Solution - deity level and double AC disabled...

The challenge there is getting to hybbie in the first place actually.

Infernal tech restart from zero or start as the race that summon them?
(When I played in ver .2-.3 last year they occupied tech from my old race, but in .4 I played yesterday it seem Infernal tech is restart at almost zero.)


Or I miss something?


I didn't read all post.
Sorry, if someone asked/answered before.

When you spawn a team member, such as basium or hybbie or minister koun, you share all techs, current and future. The beaker cost is doubled, but each member's beakers go towards the same cost. You can both pay towards the same tech, or you can research different techs separately. When you get a tech, it's shared with your team members. This happens whether you're a human or AI.
To answer your question, the infernals start with the techs their summoners have.

This was changed a few patches ago. Besides the fact that only Basium becomes a team member when summoned (not sure about Minister Koun, but definitely not Hyborem), all future research is now conducted independently of their summoners, although you can suggest what a teamed AI civ researches at any given time.
