hm, let's see: tech advantage early on (read: beeline to BW, build a few axes), midgame (read: Macemen), early endgame (read: Riflemen, by then at ~25 ExP), and an AI that is too inflexible in its distinction between attack and defense...... go figure!

Lt. Killer M · 09-09-2008, 14:57

ah, don't you just LOVE cities like this one?

That why I wouldn't have built a military academy in a city that already has Heroic Epic.

well, it sums up and I can use the saved-up hammers for wonders. E.g. Christo Rend takes only 2(!) turns

because of the saved shields.

Also, you can build a cheap military unit and convert all this bonus overflow into lots of handsome cash if a need arises.

Beam · 09-09-2008, 23:25

The Beamer is also taking a try at this one. Started as Cathy and eliminated the Vikes (sorry Darkness

) well before 0 BC and while building infra now Rome will be next.

Started with the wbs as in the post by Matrix, is this at 460 turns or did I have to mod it?

Matrix · 10-09-2008, 00:04

You don't have to mod it. Just download and play.

@Killer/Beam: does the overflow of production accumulate forever?

It's great to see so many people taking this on!

I hope my wonder formula will come up with some credible outcomes...

ProPain · 10-09-2008, 00:33

Right, finished a few mins ago. My poor laptop sort of had a fit the last turns because of the amount of graphic mem needed. Had to save every turn and had a few Civ4 crashes. But....Mansa Musa managed to launch his ship and reach alpha centauri:

Date : 1822 AD
score: 26117

Matrix you want a save for those pics you put up?

It was fun playing but I feel that ship can be launched a lot quicker than this, 17xx shouldnt be a problem. Made quite a few mistakes, and discovered some game mechanics werent like I thought. (like you cant hurry a project

)

Also when I had a few GP's stacked away for some GA's I wanted to launch one but the comp took 5 and triggered 2 GA consecutively (the 2 and 3 person one). This really annoyed me and I wonder is this is preventable. I selected the 2 GP's I wanted consumed but that didnt really help.
