The Three Sisters

[Skanky Burns]

Very impressive.

Good thinking on that exploit.

I just got Conquests and was wondering whether people think it is really necessary to play the intro stuff first.

[vmxa1]

I usually wait at least 2 years before playing any scenario maps.
They give me an excuse to play some more after I may have had enough of the std game, plus they will have fix a few things.

[Cerbykins]

I only played the first intro conquest, got bored, and moved on to the real deal. And frankly, I didn't find a reason for playing the intro campaigns first

The BEST use I can see for them, is if you just got Civ and all packs for the first time, and REALLY have no idea

[Sheik]

Alright then, I guess I will just skip the intros. I probably wouldn't be able to handle the intros because I really want to try out the Japan conquest.

[Cort Haus]

I disagree.

The intro scenarios are fun in themselves, especially the locked alliance one. I tried that as the Dutch, and without building additional cities. This was a mistake, as I found when trying to go on the offensive and meeting the German UU in huge quantities.

[EnduringBlue]

I built my cities in a line going from the start loc to the volcanoes, and my last city built was right outside of eruption range.

i do have to say that in order to finish when I did, I had to, ahem, borrow treasure units from my foes, who essentially ignored me until it was too late for them to be a real threat.

And was I the only person who took about an hour trying to figure out why the treasure couldn't move on its own? (cuz it's so heavy...)

[Inverse Icarus]

the same exploit works in the Age of Discovery scenario. sad, that.
