View Full Version : *****SPOILER***** Ville vs Gogf [Finished] WIN!!!
We decided to use Rhye's mod. It's great, fast, interesting, cool, magnificent...
Anyway, stats:
Ville: Zulus
Gogf: Iroquois
Map: Small, Young, Cool, Pangaea, 60% H2O, Temperate, Roaming barbs, 6 AIs. Made by Paalikles :)
Sorry, no screenshot of the start but 3550 BC should do it ;)

I'm beelining to Iron Working. On my way to IW, I get access to my first UU: Impi spearman 2/2/2 (normally 2/2/1). I get my killer UU: Ibutho swordsman 4/1/1 (normally 3/1/1).
I'm not planning to build many settlers due to the high cost. I will capture my cities and I think I have my first target here [hammer]
After current scout, I will build either worker and barracks, then few Impis and finally tons of Ibuthos [nya]
Update: Judas Priest founded, Napoleon contacted, Warrior Code bought.

What is this mod? Just a short description or some reference with description would be nice.

Akots, it is Rhye's of Civ - the expansion pack, version 1.23 IIRC, and it is on a random map, that I tried to modify to be more or less fair ;) [eek] [:p]

I also modfied some rules (not anything that changes gameplay)
Another goody hut spotted. I see Mayan borders :)
I have downloaded this mod and even tried to play a game and I don't like it. It is trying to be balanced but it is not since the original C3C is more balanced. There are a number of exploits in this one and TAM, for example, is substantially more balanced and gives much better feeling when played. This one though is very fast indeed like promised while being on this size of map especially against other world map mods.
It's realistic. For example, in AA, European civs aren't too strong and in IA America gets huge bonuses.
Got useless maps, contact with Mayans, sold The Wheel for 33 gold, BW in 1. Bought Writing from Russians for Pottery+55 gold.
BW done, started IW. Can't wait attacking neighbors [happy]
Rax finished in Metal City, Impi started. 5 turns till IW IIRC :)
Okay, got IW, now I'm mass producing Ibuthos in Metal City and then I'll do some warmongering [nya]

Moscow captured with 3 Ibuthos, going to St. Petersburg. Pic coming next turn.
Also, I met Gogf :)
Hmm... couldn't save it [hmm]

Russians, Mayans and now French are gone. There's only one way to victory now, east.
Dutch are down to 1 city. Got army. Filled with Ibuthos, although Impi army would've probably been better for pillaging.

So, do tell, what do you think about unit balance in the mod?
what turn are you on?
Is it too early to ask for a core screen and f11 with this mod? [:p]
It's turn 87. Unit balance is almost perfect in earth map. Random...well, Ibuthos are superior, in earth map Zulus are isolated and there's no use for them.
F11 coming soon... I have top 3 cities because of sacrifices :D
Gogf declared war on me some turns ago... He has killed 2 impis. Considering my army size, big deal! On turn 110, I destroyed most of his army, I think. 2 Tomahawks and 4 Horse Archers. Road to Salamanca is open! My elephants are walking that way and so is my Ibutho army [happy]
I'll see what he's got next turn...

Shouldn't you move all units onto the forest SW of his capital when moving to attack, to get a defensive bonus when he counterattacks?
It depends... I have only 3 slow units. So, I can attack without risk of getting attacked before attack. I'm going to move winning elephants to the forest though. Same might go to Ibutho army. I get Salamanca next turn, I'm quite sure about that. [nya]
Manowar - Battle Hymns
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armours shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All have sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Gone are the days when freedom shone
Now blood and steel meet bone
In the light of the battle's way
The sands of time will shade
How proud our soldiers stand
With mace and chain in hand
Sound the charge into glory ride
Over the top of the vanguished pride
[Chorus:]
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
To the battle we ride
We crossed a starlit sky
No space no time
We'll catch the wind
Strange losses, men died
We crossed a starlit sky
And still no space or time
We'll catch the wind
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Sound of charge into glory ride
Over the top of the anguished pride
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousand side by side
[Chorus:]
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !

What an incredible score difference. I hope Gogf updates his spoiler soon.
I think you should agree to a rematch in a regular epic map, since this was over a little too soon
Not much to put in my spoiler.
Great game Ville! I rushed a walls in my last city, and then a Tomahawk warriors, but that didn't quite help.
Yes, rematch will most likely be on an Epic map.
