I played in this game because it will probably be the last RB event ever for Civ6.
The war-weariness isn’t that bad (spearmen and colosseum ftw!) and the AI is not very good taking out cities without a big edge (which is the only way it attacks you really). I’ve played games like this on IMM were the AI DoWed me and I won. A difficulty level isn’t worth losing luxes and access to city-states so this game is easy for me.
AW in Civ3 allowed you to trade the turn you DoWed if you didn’t rip them off. That doesn’t matter here as the only non-per-turn per turn thing you can get are Great Works. Yay.
The “scoring” system awards things you should be doing anyway so I might have to let a unit die to get in a turn sooner and that’s it but I will be recording them for fun.
* First (among participating players, by turn number) to capture an enemy city. @turn 43
* Most cities controlled on Turn 200. 21. I crapped out a bunch of settlers in addition to conquest. Stopped playing after this.
* First to eliminate an enemy civilization (city states do not count). Brazil at Turn 104.
* Unit with the highest experience total at game's end. Didn’t grind which is needed to do well here; got bunch of units to level 3 (100 exp at least). If you cannot get exp when you reach level seven then everybody would easily be able to max this out if they are serious. (fake edit: there is indeed a hardcap...)
Don’t feel like having to gain the victory this time. France and Brazil are dead, Japan is useless and the other two civs are too far away. The other games had something to keep me going but not here: Adventure 1 was the first game so it didn’t count, my first spaceship win didn’t count because it was the first one, Scythia is never boring to play, the Rome game didn’t take much real-time to play due to isolation and Epic 2 I thought had a great strat because I didn’t see the true purpose of Nan Modal.
If I thought this game would look good against a “real” submission I would go on but it wouldn’t—I attacked Brazil when I should have attacked France first. This wasted time, exposed me to Japan and more city states and forced me to fight France’s UU.
I feel the biggest problem with these Epics is the AI is a one-trick pony (rushing) so you feel like you’re a pencil pusher for most of the game. This requires clever gimmicks to overcome—that Scythia game that gives you an excuse to play the most (at that time) broken civ in the game and that Kongo game that brought empire management together.
