Poll: What's the easyist conquest?

[joncnunn]

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
which conquest is the easyist of them all?

[joncnunn]

My vote would be for Mesopotaina (as Egypt) because:

1. Wonders worth a lot of points.
2. Egypt in Mesopotiania has all needed resources for wonders nearby.
3. In the same one Egypt only has an active oppoent in one direction.

MesoAmerica as the Incas is a close second, particlarly in light of AI selling workers to be sacrified, but the minor civ actually declared war upon me, and while that civ was no match, I'll score as easier any win that didn't involve fighting anything other than barbs.

Napolean.

Turn 1 victory with MPPs for cities.

[Jon Shafer]

War in the Pacific. I've (literally) seen victories in 8 turns.

I'm not sure that cheats count...

Which level? Which civ? And was it domination or score?

Mesopotamia! you guys are insane. That one can be hard on the higher levels. I can't manage to build any wonders except maybe one or two. I thought that would be enough, but I till lost. I should of went into warfare earlier I guess. That's the only decent way to make up points.

I'll nominate the scenario I have never lost. Age of Discovery. It may be the easiest, but I find it to the most fun.

America. I forget which victory type. It was a long time ago. Was probably VPs.

i'd say Age of discovery as Spanish, aim for central america, knock out the aztecs and mayans and there's buckets of gold in them there hills. As a further measure, grab cuba as a staging area on the trip back. It's easy to defend mailand spain from european aggressors as well.

I voted RofR. Play nice with the Macedonians and Persians then go after Carthage with no mercy. With them out of the way, everybody else is icing on the cake.

Mesopotamia, Fall of Rome and WWII pacific are pretty easy if you take the right civ's. Mesopotamia is a breeze with the Egyptians and not too difficult with the Phoenicians although on very high levels it would be more difficult. For Fall of Rome the Sassanids make this game really easy as no defender can stand up to the Persian cavalry which is rather cheap to build. In WWII the Americans make it a rather easy game to win, especially after you mobilize your economy.

The Napoleon scenario and the Japanese scenerio are the two that I have not won.

I have to agree with the others: Mesopatamia as Egypt - assuming you don't play on one of the (un)godly levels I guess. All the resources you need are right there. Noone can get at you to attack.

The challenge in RoR is the time limit. You already start with the best military. I've had a few games where a streak of bad luck costs valuable recovery time making those last few turns a nail biter.

I agree that Mesopotamia is pretty easy but I thought Fall of Rome was a cake walk.

I have easily won as the Germans and Osogroths

Easiest I would say is Rise Of Rome, as Rome. Your units are just too vicious to not ensure victory. After that I would say Napoleon is easiest as long as you play as France and once again get fantastic units.
