Random thoughts Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Bit quiet so I thought I'd just ramble a bit. Feel free to poke fun at anything I say.

I think we should research Mysticism as it is the only non - start tech we can research.

Were going to have to decide whether to build straight away or move to a better spot. River would be nice so would hill.

First build? Jag warrior?
Early GA

I think we should attack someone really early. We can build archers straight away we could build a couple then hit the first civ we find. No civ will have 2 spears in a city that early. Although rather than just kill them we could do something interesting like get them to surrender and tell them they're now slaves to our empire and make them build wkrs for us or something else kinda humiliating.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Mysticism sounds good to me. I'll have to check the start tonight before I decide whether to move or just start where we are. I say jag for first build to scout for our first victim, whom we then archer rush. Save some jags to trigger our GA after we get to Republic. A very early GA needs to be avoided.

Suffering from ads?

agreed on that.

and depending on who our neighbor is, they may only have warriors defending. depending on how close they are. They may immediately go for bronze working because we are the aztecs.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Hmm... Mysticism works because it's relatively cheap on top of being a non-start tech.

As for the Jaguar Warrior, I agree with making an early rush. The Aztecs are a killer multiplayer civ if you do the early rush right.

If not, however, we need to have a backup plan such as building ourselves up domestically and then stomping people with a stack of another type of unit later in the game

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I'm hoping we can trade for the other starting techs pretty soon rather than research them and Myst is the only non start tech we can research, also being rel we have the option of going for monarchy early. Pottery is usually the best way to go but with limited prod we can probably trade for pottery before we would have a granary finished.

As for the jag rush I don't know how effective that would be with our limited production we'll see I suppose but it would be alot better to GA later in the game.
