The Ecofarm Challenge

[slowcar]

could have done it faster (as always) as i overestimated the AI a lot and built way too much. anyhow, this way i got a nice conquest victory, took me 5 turns to get varn and his vassal cassiel off the map.
final turn is 188, points are 308506.

somehow the AI is a lot more aggressive in 0.32 but not a real threat with building requirements.

somehow i was not able to make screenshots, attached are my two saves, i hope they are the correct ones.
the first should be around turn 100, i have decimated cassiel to one city and am on the way to kill the sheaim.

i reloaded once as i lost a shock2 warrior against an illidan warrior with 99.8% (and my capital with that), played straight through it otherwise. now i have like 4 hours of sleep until i have to go to work
only one more turn

Here a Sidar, Play Now, Immortal, standard size, normal speed (i hate quick), creation game.
No reloads only seession continual (which was necessary more than once at gametime 22+ hours.).

Score 665xx i belive, Turn about 480 (on normal speed should be roughly comparable to turn 250-300 on quick i think.).

Just end the Turn and you should win domination at start of the next turn or 2.

Was a long draged game with a very nice starting-city-site but isolation of that section of the map which is very bad for the Sidar since wars for XP gaining and shading are far harder to come by.

(And don't wonder because of the strange build-orders everywhere. Just wanted to achieve domination in the End and fast-clicked the buildings the last 10 or so Turns. Some nice high Level national units running around at lower right corner of the map. Hacking your way through 1000+ Desciples from 3 Nations surely yields XP but is very time-consuming... Do late-game wars suck timewise...)

Not a grand score but finally cured of my addiction to reload. (Although i now have an aversion to battles with odds below 90% instead... at least if high-level units are concerned.)

If these games are in .32, please post them in the new thread:

"The immortal playnow challenge"

Since there are significant changes, we can always go back and look at how changes influenced gameplay with a separate collection from each.

Maybe this is not the best idea, but I felt games from .31 and .32 could not really be compared.

Thanks, whether you repost or not, for your entries. I will peruse them soon and learn more about some of the civs I rarely play.
