Wiz04 - Cultural domination!

[Ankka]

Yes, I almost always play random myself, I'm not a good chooser.

Hmm... A screenie sure would be nice.

Bede, you mean Rik, don't you?

 

[Ankka]

Oh, and one more thing: We shall be using the Exploit bans also used by LKendter.

Anyone disagree? I think they are good ones.

 

[gormdragan]

that includes no worker purchase until after 1000BC?

 

[Ankka]

Umm... nope.

Can you post a link to them ?

 

[Ankka]

Check this thread, second post for instance.

 

[gormdragan]

Because I was hitted with a when I wanted to trade for workers during ancient ages in another SG. Good to know.

 

[Rik Meleet]

I have generate the map (Pangaea, standard, min water, random barb settings, random climate/temperature/age max opponents).

I've switched off Cultural, Diplomatic and Space Race victories, and switch off respawn, culturally linked starts and Accelerated production.

And this is what we are:

Not the best start, too many mountains and no luxuries, only 1 bg and 1 game tile.

Do you all agree with these settings ? You have around 24 hours to comment before I'll play.

<edit> I editted away all screenshots, to keep this thread better viewable </edit>

Hmm... Cleopatra should be a good civ, industrious for fast city better making, and the best of them all: religious for cheap temples and cathedrals.

The start isn't that bad, especially with our industrious worker. I think we can manage it. IMHO, go ahead and play the 20 turns.

 

[Rik Meleet]

Preturn:
Choose pottery as our first tech. Move worker to game. Just outside the view there is a luxury; identified by the smily icon. Move settler SE to get the lux sooner.

1 - 3950BC. Found Thebes. Starts temple. I know this is strange, but I think we need culture as soon as possible. It doubles after 1000 years. Max research on pottery.

Worker cuts forest on game tile.

2 - 3900BC. zzz

3 - 3850BC. zzz

4 - 3800BC. zzz

5 - 3750BC. zzz

6 - 3700BC. forest is cleared, worker starts mine.

7 - 3650BC. zzz

8 - 3600BC. zzz

9 - 3550BC. City grows to size 2. Mine build. Road started.

10 - 3500BC. Temple finished. Start work on warrior. Lower science to 70%.

11 - 3450BC. Road finished. Micromanage tiles. Optimize slider.

12 - 3400BC. Optimize slider. Worker starts mine.

IBT We learn pottery. Start research on Bronze on 80%, 0 gpt due in 15. Thebes completes warrior, starts settler.

13 - 3350BC. Send warrior NW to a floodplain area.

14 - 3300BC. Micromanage Thebes.

15 - 3250BC. Mine completed. Micromanage Thebes. Worker starts road.

16 - 3200BC. Warrior climbs a mountain and sees a beautiful 2 river floodplain area. Who needs agricultural trait if you have this ? 8 floodplains in 1 city. Guess where our settler-factory is going to be ?

17 - 3150BC. Thebes grows to size 3. Road finished. Micromanage Thebes to get settler in 2 without shield-loss. Send worker to road towards floodplain area.

18 - 3100BC. Micromanage Thebes to not waste shields. Warrior finds another floodplain area. We won't be short on food. And with a couple of Silks just south our population won't be unhappy soon. Up science from 80% to 90%.

IBT Thebes builds settler. Starts warrior.

19 3050BC. Down science to 80%.

20 3000BC. Warrior scouts the second floodplain area and it is just as good as the first. Also possibly 8 floodplains, and this site has hills as well.

----------------------------------------

I took the liberty of creating a dotmap straight away. Red circles are city sites. blue circles are floodplains. Just enjoy it !

---< Anyone hungry ? >---

 

[Ankka]

Nice work there!

And those floodplains will become two settler factories when we get cities there.
