Giant Wolfman
Warlord
Welcome to Sons of Monarchy: Round XVI
Our sixteenth round will feature Napoleon of France
Napoleon is:
Organized: -50% Civic Upkeep, and Double Production of Lighthouse, Factory, & Courthouse
Charismatic: +1 per city, +1 from monuments and broadcast towers, -25% XP needed for promotions
A solid combination. Charismatic leads to higher happy caps throguhout the game but especially early, and organized helps growing empire with the reduced maintenance and civic costs.
France's Starting Techs & Uniques:
Agriculture & The Wheel
Observatory: An observatory that gives a free artist
Musketeer: A musketman with 2
Good starting techs, poor UU, and bad UB in my opinion. Starting techs allow you to go straight for pottery if the situation dictates, and means your worker shouldn't have many idle turns. The UU is nice as city defense with cuirassiers, as they can keep up with their two movement points; but the musketeer is the weakest of the three musketman uniques. The free artist with a science building is just awkward and will pollute your GPP.
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!

as Hunting is prerequisite for AH. But as you are implying more important to have AH in time for first worker to get started as soon as built.
. We're not creative for a quick library and we're not PHI for a quick scientist to bulb maths. What was your Oracle date? I didn't even attempt to build it full stop on this map, never mind line up construction. I couldn't see myself getting it before 2000BC. Surely anything after 1800BC is a massive map-ruined-if-you-fail gamble on Immortal?
