Starting with 20000 gold????

[Hydey]

that advice seems to stem from experience.

i've had it happen to me once in a civ fanatics game.. where i noticed i had 20,000.00 gold after 10 turns or so into the game ...me bartens and jhorsburg & i think airhidder was in that game also, so i think we know who the culpurt was.. he retired when i found him early. thats when i knoticed the money.. i pointed it out to the others and we restarted..

[atawa]

Are we talking about the same guy here? Comes on zone now as civil_ization?

[WarHawk]

well i thought we were maybe not

[DrFell]

I'd be suprised if he were a cheater. Checked a couple saves of my recent games with him nothing suspicious going on there at first glance.

well i dont really remember who the other guy was could've been anybody it's been awhile

I think you where in the game a few months ago where a guy built collosus at 3500 bc and 13 or 14 cities by 3000 bc LOLOL Think he called himself loki. Wouldn't be suprised if its just the same old people coming back and changing names...

You got all that gold to build a wonder by 3500 and choose collosus

A real great player would build lighthouse for his new invention , ship chaining.

Bronze work was probably his only wonder tech.
(Yes my priorities might be a little different also if i had that much money )
But with that much money, buy em all. What the heck, if you're going to cheat, might as well cheat all the way.

This one obviously doesn't win the award for discreetness.

when its blatant like that ....whats the point...

the earliest i have seen any wonder is 3150 and that had me scratching my head......but it is possible

Maybe if you built on Iron, had the tech from the first hut and got some money from huts and a barb king to finish it off and disband a few units built by your second city. Still a big maybe. And it would cripple any early expansion.

Of course in the old days, XIN used to build HG between 2900 and 2700 like clockwork.

the ealiest i have built a wonder was 3050.....and that was from 200g in huts four units from huts, one of which made it back on turn 10...city built on grass with to irons......

needless to say i got pottery from a hut , second city was on gold, two squares away from capital, received a nomad and a tribe and built hg and revolted the same turn...

weird stuff like this happens.....but to the same effect i had a similar position and had a wonder with only two cities and one set on the board.....

so things have to go really well to pull it off

IN MP, never earlier than 2850. In SP, a whole different story.
