The "OMG! Look what happened in DoC!" Thread

[baseballpie]

I don't settle Aachen. I settle Brussels. Yeah

Bizarre 3000 BC Swedish start:

Someone obliterated the Romans, apparently very early on as Carthage and Egypt are unhurt and Alexander the Great's empire is intact.

EDIT: Now that I look better at it, the Greek Empire is utterly stacked with wonders and has Buddhist cities: Athens has the Library, the Temple of Artemis, Parthenon, and Himeji (!). Sparta has the Colossus, Oracle, and Statue of Zeus. Epidamnos the Colosseum and Ishtar Gate. Babylon the Sphynx, Ankyra Borobudur, and Kalhu the Hanging Gardens.

EDIT2: And soon, they built the Shwedagon in Athens. Well, I know who the first target for a Viking invasion are going to be.

 

[AdrienIer]

Actually Aachen is a great city site, like super awesome. Too bad Frankfurt Paris and Amsterdam make it useless, just look at that amazing BFC !

 

[The Diocletian]

Grecce strong! Greece smash!

I think I've seen AI Greece do that well once, I think, but they certainly didn't survive till 600 AD.

I want to see that replay.

 

[apenpaap]

Great idea, I hadn't thought of the replay. Here's a save (from a few centuries into the game) so you can see what happened. (Ìt should be noted I'm playing with my new leaders modmod installed, so the save might not work correctly without it)

Spoiler :

The barbarian uprising event happens right on Rome's border while the kings are still in charge. Hunnic hordes swoop down Italy a thousand years too early and raze all the cities there.

 

[calad]

What disapoints me that Carthage hasnt built any more cities.

 

[The Diocletian]

Well, they won't settle middle and northern Italy because that's foreign core, and I'm not sure if the western Maghreb is historical for them. In general, I blame the laughable AI.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Yeah, Phoenicia is a case that's very hard for the AI. Mind you, I've seen them settling Barcino/Barcelona.

 

[apenpaap]

^They did, but it was razed in the barbstorm.

I manually put the files in the "Custom Assets" folder into the Assets file in the DoC folder.

Need elaboration?

 

[Tratatushki]

Thx. I'll try.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

What graphics module is that?

 

[Lone Wolf]

"Improved Graphics for Civ", it's a modmod in the Modmods section of the Civ4 fora.

 

[The Diocletian]

Vikings at the top of the scoreboard.

Oh yeah, this is gonna be goooood.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

That would make the Crusades world blood bath.

 

[phoenix_sprite]

Have fun with that. A reroll is in order IMO.

Have fun with that. A reroll is in order IMO.

He didn't settle South Africa or conquer the Maghreb in his opening turns so that's more of a problem if anything compared to uber-Vikings.

 

[phoenix_sprite]

Leoreth added some capes around the Canaries so it's harder to settle S.A. in the opening turns.
