Need to find horses asap and once you have the worker techs b-line to HBR for erm...Keshik I think?

If I've got the right civ those things are awesome. Build 6 or so and start picking on your neighbors

Hurray the first Civ4 PBEM Spoiler on CDZ

Do tell more about the map, how big is the spoke of the wheel, etc...

And war elephants kick ass.

Interesting that you plan to make a worker at size 2.
I most of the time start mine at 3, but these last few games I ve played have sucked. Though not because of worker builds at size 3, more about hesitation before going to war, and wrong tech choices, etc.

BTW, isnt keshik a knight replacement?

Keshik is a horse archer replacement in civ4. only differences are 1st strike and ignore terrain movement costs. same amount of hammers and strength.

I don't know too much about the map. I just know that it is shaped like a bicycle wheel with a hub and spokes emminating from the center. All of the civs are on the round outside part of the wheel. I selected the 2 plots per civ. & it's on a standard map.

As far as my strategy, I plan on not going for a religion. My plan is to go for Alpha and trade everything around. After that, I'll fly by the seat of my pants. I'm not that aggressive in spreading them normally so I'll wait for one to come to me. I might even go without getting my UU. I haven't used the UU in civ4 yet. Do you get a GA from the first win?

Mistfit · 22-11-2005, 14:57

No GA's from UU's

It would be a shame missing out on making and using the Keshik. The ignore terrain movement cost is awesome. If you b-line to it and pump out some units you can mop up on a close neighbor. upgrade his strength and you can still use them against units like knights.

Did this today. Took 3 of 4 cities from the Japanese before they got Spears.

Mighty good fun.

And to think I always go for catapult supported fighting...

I had some kick ass units before I saved. Excluding barracks promotion, I had at least 3 promotions on some units. Still in tbe BC.

Nuff about me. Go bonk heads.

We had to restart this because the patch screwed us up. I'm still the Mongols but the other leader. I am now what civ3 players used to call Ugly. I am Ghengis Khan, the "Great Ruler", formerly known as Temujin. I shall stomp on Bernie with fierce vengence.

We are still playing the wheel map but 3 plots worth of spoke length and 3 plots wide

Wow. When Akots sees this, he is gonna be sooo jealous. Stone and grass start.

And on a river too (unless you moved there)

Looks like a potentially strong start there, IMHO.

Kick some ass d00d

Tubby Rower · 26-11-2005, 20:08

no I didn't move. I just hope Whomp has a good start too.
