Wish I could play. But since I've actually loaded Mods! (perish the thought!) onto my machine, the fantastic "protect assets" function in this wonderful game won't let me load the frickin' save files . . . grumble grumble grumble Couldn't we switch to using the Civ Fanatics HOF Mod for our GOTMs?

Garrison AND Zone!? Its like a family reunion around here. This one looks fun. With all that room, I'm gonna try my darndest to construct the Great Wall [Wink] That sounds like a good plan if there's a lot of room. Those barbs could be nasty. I should start this game this weekend. It'll be nice to play a GOTM with a leader who matches his historical country. The mixed leader/civ option is kinda fun to play with, but sometimes I find it confusing. Like trying to remember which color civilization Ragnar of the French is. What the?

Garrison, with that avatar, you are a perfect match for team Omega . I played this one but lost a boredom defeat. First of all, it's not 3 rivals, it's 3 civs, including ours. Secondly, I got an early message saying that one of the civs was destroyed really early on. Barbs must have blitzed him. It was me against a civ I never met. They were kicking my butt in tech and I kept just missing Wonders. I finally just gave up in the 1300's AD when there were no barb cities to be found. Can we have another March Madness GOTM please . How 'bout 6 civs on a duel map?

The early game on large map with few civs and no raging barbs is pretty much a builder's game with little combat until Astronomy. It seemed to be all about city placement, city screen micromanagement, and smart use of slavery and workers to beat the AI with wonders as opposed to military manuevers. And we all know wonders= Great people = tech in this style game. Not a warmonger playstyle early game.. (nothing wrong with that.. all skills are good) It is good to know both sides...
