[UT voice] ELIMINATION! [/UT voice]
First PTW game. Single player still. Tiny world map Regent (I normally play monarch), continants, playing as Zulu.
Elimination is cool because if you take one city the civ is toast. It is very cool to see every city and unit of a civ disappear off the map completely at once. I had respawn on so I had to kill everyone twice. (Ottomans, Persia, Aztecs.)
I also had advanced production on to make this a fast AOK like game. Get a couple cities up and then crank out as many archers, or horseman, or later swordsman or possible. I kept one city producing workers so I could build roads to my enemies. It's a very fast fun game. (If you are winning at least. )
The game took me 1h 29m 23s in total to get to 825BC, because I had to wait to get mapmaking to find the Aztecs. (I thought I selected pangea but it obviously didn't work out.)
It is kind of unfair to play this against the AI. Humans would be much more creative and tricky. The AI was smart enough to have 4 defenders in every city, but stupid enough to build a new city with one defender right beside my advancing armies. You have to be very careful to not settle too far and wide because any one city loss kills you.
Any wonders the other civ has are lost as all their cities dissappear. It's cool that ruins are left in every old city site so you can see all your damage on the map.
Elimination is a really good way of getting all #1's and all the cities on the game ending demographics screen. It also leads to a funny replay.
In the end I had a score of 8908.
In previous civ the highest I got was 4700ish for a Monarch Standard map Domination. It is funny to see that my regular score would have been only 283.3.
The final ranking was:
8908 Zulu
232 Aztec
52 Persia
37 Ottoman
And I still got magnificent! I am really curious what is the last one above magnificent. What to you have to do to get that score? Maybe I should try same map without respawn and see if I get a bigger bonus for a quicker time.
Anyway it was a lot of fun! Elimination should be very fun to play against real people.
