Looking for some serious spanking - Page 2

OK, then Pangea it is. I'll think about a civilization choice. I've just played Zulu against Rik (Egypt), need to try something else then. Seems that Zulu is a very strong counter to War Chariots. What shape of Pangea? Choke or no choke?

Both is fine with me. I just think that a straight up pangaea may be a bit too fast

akots · 22-02-2006, 22:28

Ok, then it is Pangea with relatively wide choke, not 1-tile width but a few tiles-width. I still have not yet decided on counter to WCs, being hammered at work and such, have no time to think.

I think I will go for a good old Rome. Really, there is no match for Egypt among non-agricultural civs on this map setting except may be Zulu but one of their traits is pretty useless except for early granary which is not that important compared to Industrious. I was thinking about France but that would mean essentially playing without Golden Age or with a very remote possibility of it. So, it will be Rome. I hope we can find the mapmaker for this map.

I'll make the map - as you requested in PM.

Im looking forward to this one, I want to see some spoilers from both of you. Akots, could you put up a spoiler from the Great Armada PBEM? Everyone complaining about your massive horsemen/pirate attacks has me intrigued.

Ok, I thought nobody is lurking on that one. I'll try to write something up then, might be digging through some saves to get the screenies.

Not really lurking hard, I just played that scenario in an SG as Spain, and never realized the power of the Muslims there. Whoever is playing Spain screwed up there I think by not taking it to you in the early turns.
