I'm sorry to be with the majority but I've gone with the Chinese .

I played the Zulus last time and I suspect that is the only other option I could play.

I can see this being an interesting game.

I'll start the spoiler thread.

Nor Me, there's only so much you can do to be "evil" when creating an AU scenario...Another reason you may feel this one is "predictable" is that it resembles another AU scenario you've played.

I'll try and start it this weekend. Thanks for setting it up alexman!

GPT Deals: I thought gpt deals were verboten in total war games -- i.e., you could make any "lump sum" trades you wanted upon meeting a civ, but couldn't throw in any 20-turn offers and then had to declare war before the turn end.

I'm thinking I might play Germany, cheap science, cheap barracks, archers and spears from the get go, more leaders than I'll ever need to triger my GA in the middle ages well before panzers . . .

Thanks for setting it up, alexman.

I will go down one level & play at Monarch. Chinese is my favourite but I am now playing them in my current game. Hm .......

Hi all...

Well if I could vote again I'd vote for the Aztecs. Gonna give them a try now that I've lost miserably with the Celts.

Hi,

I think I'll join the fun for this one. I have a few bones to pick with just about every civ in the game.

I'll play regent, though. I don't feel that masochistic now. I still don't know who I'll play as.

Hi all...

Yeah so the whole Aztec thing didn't work out either. So I guess I'll have to try Persia.

Albeit I love playing China more, I'll start with Greece, a civ I almost never play. And I'll try at emperor, sounds suicide to me, but what the ****

No doubt that I'll be playing more games. then I'll choose other civs. Hopefully map not too big.

Alexman, when creating the scenario, did you want anyone to succeed? (I'm not talking about the early game...)

Nice challenge though!

I have a reasonable expectation of victory on Monarch. I expect it to be really dicey, but I think I can do it.

Given another shot at it, I'd probably do even better (shoulda rushed the GL & built the FP manually, probably).

I'm currently playing on my usual level, regent. I just don't want to go down a level dang it. I'm gonna beat this on regent or I'm gonna well, get sick of it eventually and play the next AU when it comes out.

This is a very evil map.

I failed on my first attempt. Actually, I saw the writing on the wall and retired. I could hold the other civs off, but was gaining no ground and there was no hope in sight.

I'll give it another try, but I'll stay at Emporer. With the knowlege I have gained, I should have more success.

Well, I started with the Japanese (regent). The first turns were quite easy and when I got to samurais, it was just "banzai!". Even riflemen and cavalry just slowed them down a bit. As soon as I convince them to use rifles and horses (3 turns away from Mil. Trad. when someone else just finished Women's Suffrage), I'll start conquering again.
The only wonder I managed to build was Pyramids, I got Magellan's Voyage and something else from conquering a city.
On a side note, I just declared jihad on the Americans: they dared to land 3 cavalries on my home continent and razed a size 12 city just before my samurais annihilated them.
I may be bruised, but I'm not beaten yet.

You should post things like that in the spoiler thread.

I'm thinking about choosing either China, Germany, or the Aztecs.

I decided to drop back to Monarch for this one, since Total Eternal Forever War isn't exactly my thing. I chose Persia as my civ because I figured an early GA might actually be a good thing for a slugfest, especially if I ended up next door to someone with an ancient UU. (After all, it's not like staying at peace with them until after their UUs become obsolete is an option. )

Just a warning: this scenario turned out to be really tough. There have been many good stories so far, but nobody has actually managed to win it yet.

You might even want to drop two levels from your norm.
