  • Lazy Horse stays in monarchy too long

    Maybe I'm not taking some recent games seriously enough but I just couldn't be bothered switching to Republic or democracy - too much micro. I watch the odeo years roll up and just go "nup, maybe next time"

            Staying in Monarchy's a real trap I fell into after playing SP for relief from the tedium of work. You can cream the AI in Monarchy. But it makes life a tad difficult in MP games.

              I go straight to Rep

              And I don't worry about exploring in Democ - not hard with big happy cities.

                  Well, we can't disagree with the latter.

                    One can go straight to Republic in Deity, if you dedicate everything to making it work, but it's more of a hassle than it's worth.

                      I have to agree with slow. I always chuckle when I see opponents go straight for rep in 1x deity. But a lot of good players do so. Perhaps some will explain their thoughts here.

                              Without making any assumptions here, I find that in a hutless game going straight to Rep is fine especially using Gold squares and reverse growth. You can be in Rep in the second Millenium with irrigated squares and ready to rapidly grow.

                              In a hut game it depends on the techs you acquire. I go to Monarchy about 1/3rd of the time depending on situation.
