Adventure 43: Compromise finds Alien Isabella's diary

Thanks for sharing and glad to read it. I also expected slow research, but it really only took a handful of Pyramids specialists to push research faster than a normal game. Yes, it played similarly to the other mod. In part because it was the same civ with a similar map and neighbors. But the mod mechanics played out the same way, with overly large cities. Perhaps the lesson is just that specialists can do everything. It's also surprising that Civilization remains fully playable even with such a screwjob applied to the most basic mechanic.

Moai in Madrid, why so? 6 commerce doesn't help make a big city. National Epic in the biggest city makes sense, but why not Globe Theater?

And I will point out that just attaching the first GG automatically enables the Heroic Epic smile I've also done your move of suiciding a weaker unit in order to let a 9 XP unit get an easy win.

I agree: if you can feed them, especially with Representation, specialists can do whatever you need.

Simply trying to maximize wonder count by 500AD without regard to long-term benefit. (Didn't have the tech or the city count for Globe yet) :sheepish:

What?! I did not know this! How could I have missed it...?

The sacrifice-then-9xp move was actually a bit tense. I had only one opportunity, and it had to happen on that turn in order to build the HE in time for a 500AD cutoff.

Those pesky variant conditions certainly redefine "optimal" play!

Ok, it's not quite automatic - you do have to actually click 3 promotions onto the GG unit to make it level 4 and unlock the Heroic Epic. :neenernee
