Finally done, but the accepted screenshots are only 400x400...

And I thought I had issues trying to cram in my 1024 X 800 screen shots into these DAR threads.

Jon's DAR : Monarch AU Mod Dar 6
Part I: Thru wipe out of India

The following restrictions taken upon myself to encourage war mongling:

1. I will not be in a representive form of govt nor may I pick Monarchy.

2. I will not build any libaries. [I may still try to reserach, but it may become less effective as time goes on.]

3. I will not build any great wonders unless I get and use a SGL. Any SGL may only be used for building wonders that are Military.

4. I will not build any small wonders unless I get and use a MGL.

India chosen as the next target? The reason: to kill them now before they get to many Crusaders from their Knights Templar, plus they have no iron, so their best defenders are only War Elephants. Plus the Mayas have the Great Wall and France Sun Tzu.

Closing thoughts:

1. The permission to build a Wonder if I used a SGL didn't come into play. Never got a SGL in that one. Not geting permision to build a Great Wonder didn't matter much either, without the shields being invested in wonders, I had the shields to build units to conquer them.

2. The restirction on small wonders slowed down my FP, but not too much. also due to the early wars. It also caused me to use a MGL on the Heoric Epic which is really cheap.

3. The no libary restriction really didn't start hurting my reserach until after my GA ended. In the ancient era, libraries were a rare enough sight that my conquests were building me up a tech lead that improved with conquest of the Great Library. When my GA came along, it accelerated with the extra science. It only started to falter [post GA and being granted Education] after I had enough Knights to take over the world.

4. Fedualism is a wonderful govt for war mongling under the AU mod, perhaps a bit too much so with it's lower corruption than normal. Even with over 150 units I was still well under my support costs. Knights are still built easily by size 6 cities. I actually considered building Aquaducts in my core area. I was even negleating the pop-rushing that the govt allows, mostly because if I had pop rushed Temples post ToA, I'd have won 5 turns after that point. Oh, and I never had a single citizen say give peace a chance. Now conquered India did strongly complain about me attacking their mother land until I finished it after ToA expired, but turning their large cities into all entertainmen silenced their criticisms.

5. There seems to be a severe problem with the Aztec AI and Jaquar Warriors; I never saw a single Jaquar Warrior.

Whenever my notebook can talk to unsecured wireless networks again. A M$ patch made this too secure.

That's also why I don't have dates yet, my offical diary is a soft copy on my notebook.

Oh, the last save I have is the one I made the turn before my victory. I had autosave on; by the most recent autosave was of the turn before my victory.

[joncnunn]

Save submited to HoF

My screen shots are way too big for HoF

[Addled Platypus]

I guess I will post a no win.

After everybody but everybody is my land as a freeway, no one would leave.

I declared war on China so Bab,French,Maya declare war on little ole me. Beeing hit from the top and sides.

I saw the hand writting on the wall when I lost an elite swordsman to a regular swordsman on open field.

After losing my only Iron, that was it for my real only fighting units available, all 5 did I manage to build.


Oh, buy the way I forgot to mention, I just started the medieval age. I could never buld a single wonder, even starting one earlier than anyone else, some other civ would find a way to make it first.

I will have to try this again from the begging

[Tassadar500]

You should post an entry in the HoF regardless.

[joncnunn]

Looks like the interface supports entering a loss, but your bound to have one of the lowest scores if you submit a loss.
