I think Maori will be just ok, nothing more nothing less, until we understand how they actually work.
We have only seen a short video of who they are and a bit of what they can do. I think the concept
is really fun, it may take a few rerolls on Deity though lol, but I think they will be quite good.
We all know what they already have, so think about your own strategies in any game with any Civ.
Yesterday I rolled America, have the Romans S of me and of course they attacked on….what...turn16, yep.
I held them back and the razed 2 of their cities and planted my own there. Trajan will be forever grumpy,
but I needed to put campuses down and a lot more, so time flies by.
Now it's turn 200 and I am so slow with research, (142pt), 153gpt and I will face a dark era..
My galley just met Kongo, 302 science per turn and 1200 military power, I have 400 mil power.
So change of plans accordingly, build, buy and upgrade units as fast as I can. I will take Kumasi on
my right next and the the Roman Empire on my continent, they still live on on another continent.
This is what makes Deity fun, it will be a very slow win, not by Lily Lancers standards of course, but
it is a challenge nevertheless.
I think Maori will be a fun catch-up Civ, as Georgia already is. And thanks to the community hating
Georgia so much, I am going to play them now.
I won with them twice already, but I like some things
about them, and Deity is on.
Sorry for interrupting the thread with my own stuff.
