If you have a save from the previous turn, please report it.

Of course I do , just hit the end button.

Same commit as your previous saves? Or later?

Have you ever seen Q'umarkaj? There is always a rainforest there, I wonder how did AI manage to settle there?

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

You can settle on rainforests. It's just jungles you can't settle on.

I found this after the Canadian autoplay:

Spoiler :

They were 300 score ahead of the runner up.

Shiraz is a ghost town

 

[Leoreth]

Yeah I'm currently working on it, that's why I ran this game.

 

[Oblivionyx]

Bumin must be an idiot.

Spoiler :

A French caravel got stuck in the ruins.

Spoiler :

The countryside is overcrowded? Is this because of the Slave Plantation?

Spoiler :

Ermahgerd.

Spoiler :

So... the ocean belongs to Tucume, but the land around it isn't?

Spoiler :

Interesting cities...

Spoiler :

Why can I crusade against America? It didn't say but the option was to crusade against the USA.

Spoiler :

I was not expecting this.

[Leoreth]

Haha, someone requested to put this in as part of the great people name contests we ran a couple of years ago.

About the crusade, you can become a target even if you're Catholic if you defied another resolution before.

Can you show me a save for the Túcume situation? This looks like a bug.

It makes for a nice easter egg.

Sorry, but the autosaves were already overwritten. I will see if I can reproduce it.

Sieges of Constantinople are always fun to watch! Order of battle:

With 3 red defenders great city stands! Few turns later Mongols joined the fun fighting both Seljuks and Byzantines:

 

[LacsiraxAriscal]

Gutted I no longer have the image as twas on an old laptop, but seeing this thread reminded me that last time I ran a full AI game of DoC, in an otherwise fairly ordinary game, Iceland was conquered by Kongo. Who then proceeded to vassalize the Vikings. By some distance the most bizarre vassal I've seen in a DoC game.

 

[Oblivionyx]

Portugal claims...

Spoiler :

So... Uzbekistan is having a civil war?

Spoiler :

When you capitulate to your own colonies.

Spoiler :

 

[JHLee]

Of all the civs to trigger the conquerors, I certainly wasn't expecting the Tamils.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Nobody expects the, um, Tamil Inquisition?

I've never seen that particular outcome but I'd say the Tamils are pretty well equipped to make first contact. I'd say it's easy as human player. Not sure if the AI is motivated to do so however. Was that a 3000BC or 600 AD game?

Spoiler :

I'd say that's pretty consistent with reality though. Brazil became the seat of the Portuguese crown and simultaneously asserted its independence and dominance.

600AD. They only beat Portugal to first contact by a few turns.

 

[Rodnok]

I saw Tamils going very strong in 3000 BC start as well. They took most of India plus some more cities in East Asia.

 

[TJDowling]

Yeah, their only drawback is a pretty poor production capacity. I think their research is pretty good for South Asia but I might be wrong.
