Do we have chances?

[OPD]

Completly agree with don. IIRC they only have 2 warriors and 2 spears in our land. They aren't able to touch us with those IMO and peace will be possible before any decent units can reach us. Then it's only a matter of time before we hit them with an archer rush.

Then as they lie dying at our bloodly hands, watching us eat their babies, their cries for mercy shall be ignored.

Then again, it is entirely possible for the random number generator that determines the outcomes of fights to flip against us...

But, don't think about that. We will win!

I agree with donegeal too. I think we are only at large risk of losing at this early part of the game, when we have few assets (cities) and few military units to defend them. Once have get our core up and running and units churning out, we will only be defeatable by space race or culture.

In the words of Commander Taggart: "Never give up! Never surrender!"

Taggart? From Beverly Hills Cop?

Yes - we clearly have a chance - and the fun is living close to the edge.

There are a number of quite relevant strategy threads - one of my favorites is randomturn's 3-Step Approach for beating Deity. Check it out. The game does change as you move into deity. Vikings were a good choice.

No, Galaxy Quest.

What I meant was long and drawn out in such a way that many nations were far ahead of us, and we could only hope to survive in a distant running.

Does an ice cube have a chance in hell?

Hell ya, we can do it. We just have to be flexable. But yes, we can survive, overcome, prosper and kick some arse.

I've found Vassal States to be a good supplimentary strategy only, early in the game I pick an oppurtunistic target, after a while, he'll start rushing units, this is when I sue for peace, whether or not I get a good return at the time,knowing he's weakened himself in the long term. In 20 turns (unless I'm building city improvement, then it's 40), I resume against my weakened enemy, eventually I reduce him to a few cities, because the speed at which other civs get techs is affected by the number of civs who don't have it, my vassal state will slow down the other civs from getting the tech, acting as a "tech anchor".
