I dont think I have ever seen so much luck in a game that early ever !
Republic in 62 turns (gotta hate the free Philo tech...), a defensive GL, the Great Lib on deity Pangea

Was that last one hand built or you got an SGL ? Both are equally lucky !
It's sickening really...

I absolutely admit I was lucky. But it isn't just luck, I think. The only thing that was pure luck was the leader. In my first battle a spear got elite (without loss iirc), the same turn it was attacked again and a Leader stood up. That was just extremely lucky. Just two defensive battles....

This was in turn 63. I already had a pre-build for my FP in Ommen, but decided to rush the FP in another city. This pre-build simply held out until it was a Great Library in turn 101. What is lucky about that?
After the leader I had 7 or 8 elite vics in the war vs the Dutch, so 1 leader all together is pretty normal.

Being republic in turn 62 is also not just luck. From turn one it has been my goal to develop the republic asap. I managed to get full benifit from trading with the AI (expansionist trait can be great on large maps, but take notice I built 5 scouts, before I built my granary in the capitol, and only after that the first hand-built settler). The money I earned from the trading was used to develop CoL and Philo asap, while having a great deficit (iirc, I bought writing from an AI, while having it researched myself halfways). I was the first to have CoL AND the first to have philo after that. Republic as a free tech for that of course.

BTW: I was a tiny bit surprised the TGL got mine.

I consider an early settler on Deity also as extremely lucky. Usually the huts suck on Deity.
You should be happy to just get a tech IMHO instead of nothing or maps/25g.

Shouldnt you cover up the informative parts of your screenshots btw Stapel?

Stapel · 12-01-2004, 13:11

You mean the worldmap? I doubt Erik will really benefit from that.
