not sure what to do here, nobody to trade with because all civs are either at war with me or dirt poor, cant sign any research agreements, cant be offensive with this map setup, donno donno

page four

no, but your civs need to focus on the social policies that benefit from taking over cities and large military. not that peace treaties are bad but its not your focus imo.

that awkward moment when you realize you are sending a japanese zero to attack an aircraft carrier and dont know how it will attack it

i guess i can throw all my cities production onto research and try to outpace them to spaceship, donno

can never tell any extent of damage to flying units when they attack me, the planes burst in flames and crash, but thats usually -1 damage when it happens to me, so i have no idea

germany is at least 30 turns ahead of me in science, i dont know how i can catch up

these research agreements between germany and india are whats losing the game for me

suddenly, iroquios complete appolo program from nowhere, guess i better go back to war with them

greece and iroqious sign research agreement

BOTH OF YOU HAVE BEEN BROKE PIECES OF SHIT ALL GAME, HOW AND WHY ARE YOU SIGNING RESEARCH AGREEMENTS WITH EACH OTHER AND NOT ME

oh good, now germany is defending with jets

how did this city even get such high defense to begin with, im mad

ok im quitting, that game was idiotic

no more archipelago

new game
continents
standard players
5 difficulty
quick game

pure military japs here

did nothing but build units all opening

PEOPLE WITH THE POINTIEST STICKS

UNMET 216
DARIS 159
UNMET 84
YOU 83

tried to rush a catapult

it requires iron


ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this just in, a city heals more than 4 archers do damage to it per turn, 37 turns into the game

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you cant avoid building your citys infrastructure, you need it to build troops faster
honestly, get on vent sometime and play a mp game with m8s so we can actually see what you are doing

only if that city is already at least one tear above the archers, or great wall. but i know for a fact 4 archers can hurt a city up until modern era.

well that was a miserable waste of time

went full military, even built a road directly to the enemy city which was extremely close to begin with, ran full production rallied to the enemy city, and it killed all my shit with city attack + an archer garrrisoned

[

yeah there were four, then there were three, then there were two

oh also had a great general nearby everything and 15% combat boost due to adjacent military units

mind full of fuck

guess its just the advantages the computers get after difficulty 4, even while this city was being sieged the whole game and all workers captured, its borders were expanding like crazy and was constantly producing warriors and archers

i dont like how the biggest game changer can be the presence or lack thereof of a critical strategic resource in your empire

time to try persia for the first time, favorite civ 3 civ

obligatory "ruins teach you about locations of nearby barbarian encampments"

twice

>clear a barbarian camp with an archer
>same turn a computer civs warrior enters the empty barbarian camp and claims the captured worker

i want to declare war on gandhis ass right now out of principle

>clearing a barbarian camp near a city state to earn influence
>bring the camp down to 2 hp
>city state archer kills it

this game is not going so well

>have enough gold to purchase a settler to expand to the silver and marble resource scouted earlier
>gandhi has 4 cities already and controls all of said resources

settle in the middle along the river, im sure the result is going to be him denouncing me for settling close, followed by 8 other computer civs because he has somehow discovered them all already

NO ONE WANTS TO BUY YOUR SILK

the immortal is just about the worst civ specific unit in the game

the thing is obsolete after 100 turns

notre dame completed by someone else with 2 turns left on mine, son of a bitch

GANDHI, WHAT WILL YOU GIVE ME FOR THESE HORSES?

LOOK GOOD TO ME

jaguars

montezuma in ancient era: domination victory only
montezuma in any other era: culture victory only

new game, wont be playing start to finish, but a side game to play whenst feeling like it

america
earth map
12 players 24 city states
difficulty level 4 (sad)
game pace epic

scumbag city state

we require help killing these barbarians in our borders!

get the fuck out you are trespassing we are angry at you

story of life

the difficulty ramp up between emperor and immortal is huge

i feel like winning becomes less about good play and more about exploiting game mechanics

dcnet head to head record: 1:0

damn the head to head map has a shit ton of barbarians

task 1 smocked 0

smocked has ragequit the game

can we get a 2v2 or 1v1v1v1 going

i need to break out the risk strategies

still cant pick a favorite civ, still havent played more than half of them

the way i play i should probably try rameses

started a rameses game, pangaea map with 10 civs difficulty 5

its 1555 ad right now, game is war all over the place, germany on me from northeast (2 allied citystates buffer me from him), iroquios from the east (took 1 city from him early and using it to defend, his tech is bad), napoopan settled cities out the ass so he cut through the center of my territory (took 1 city of his that was cutting off mine, still at war with him because he wont settle for anything), then aztecs from the west who i am currently diverting all troops to kill
