The Mausoleum

dude, don't bother with drama! you can build hollywood without it, you know :crazyeye:. i don't know where folks watch the hit movies without theatres, but facts is facts. *giggle*
 
yeah, music really. which is poppable from a hut!

That is almost as good as popping astronomy from hut on archipelago when playing as Dutch :lol:. It's not like playing Dutch on water map is fair even without incidents like that :mischief:.

I've only tried Willem only once which was probably one of the easiest games i've ever had, it was like i'd promised to sacriface my firstborn to RNG gods!

I started on same landmass with Toku and Hatty. Of course, i made what every sensible person does when Toku is next to them -- chariot rush in this case. I got two decent cities from him and found out Hatty was on same landmass next to ex-japanese borders .. and at this point i popped HBR from hut :eek:. Both Japan and Egypt gave me religion.

As mentioned, later i got Astronomy from hut when exploring smaller islands. Then at some point i researched Steam Power -- and i had never tried Levees before (didn't even remember that SP allows to build those)... lets just say that i've never seen such differences in my production/power/population vs. AI at end of the game. Sushi and mining probably helped too.. and having the biggest landmass on map for myself only.

It was fun game, but next time i'll play Dutch i have to raise difficulty for a few levels. This game was on prince but probably closer to settler level in reality.

Oh and i did build Mausoleum and had many Great Dutch Golden Ages which lasted for a long time :p.
 
Dutch are really powerful, on par with vanilla cathy. On prince it would be pretty outrageous. I like to play Dutch on Monarch. They are good, but I have higher scores with other civs. My current high is a domination win I got with Pericles.
