Giant Wolfman
Warlord
Welcome to Sons of Monarchy: Round VII
Our seventh round will feature Pericles of Greece
Pericles is:
Creative: + 2
per city and Double Production of Library, Theater, & Colosseum
Philosophical: +100%
, and Double Production of Universities
The Master of Great Scientists. Quick Libraries and quick GP mean that your GS's can come early and often with Pericles. One of my favorite combos.
Greece's Starting Techs & Uniques:
Fishing & Hunting
Odeon: A Colosseum that adds an additional
, +3 per turn, allows 2 artist specialists, and gives +1 from hit singles
Phalanx: An axeman that gains +100% defense against Chariots
The Phalanx no longer has the axe's weakness to chariots, strengthening an early axe rush. The odeon greatly beefs up the colosseum, giving a base total of 2 in addition to another for each 20% of culture slider, in addition to its culture and artist slots. Two solid but not spectacular uniques
The Start:
No Huts, No Events, All Other Settings Standard
To play: I am using the same process as the Noble's Club so those familiar with that excellent series just do the same thing. Download the attached zip files & unzip into your BTS/Saves/Worldbuilder folder. Go to Custom Scenarios, select the SoM Save corresponding to your desired difficulty level, and customize game settings as desired. You will need to add techs to barbs. To do so:
Posters are encouraged to include: Thoughts on start/where to settle first and what initial tech path. Later saves can include position at 1 AD, liberalism race as a midgame checkpoint, and the final result. Players are encouraged to post as much as they desire, though screenshots/saves make receiving help easier. Spoiler details about the map and your playing for all details except regarding the opening screenshot.
Good luck, and happy civving!
