[SPOILERS] Immortal Lewwyn, Justinian of Persia

[Lewwyn]

OMG! They killed Kenny!





Apparently not so Immortal.

Screw you Hyperbole!

[Commodore]

Your start:



Caveats of "might change stuff" still apply. Settler has mobility, sentry, and is on a road (just the one tile). World size small, difficulty Prince.

[Lewwyn]

So 1 South seems appropriate. 1 North only if the scout shows something good. In either case we get a PH plant and 6 forests.

Do I go AH, Wheel and get an early immortal to rush with?

Do I go Mining, BW for early slavery and chops?

This kills me I really want to do something with the Immortals, but tbh I need to kill this opening. And to do that I need Chops and slavery. I think mining BW is how I have to go.

Mining>BW>AH>Wheel>Pottery

That's the most effective use of my starting techs. First worker will farm corn, camp ivory and get to chopping. Though depending on the tech and worker build speed maybe I can farm>chop. Chop a second worker double chop settler while building a warrior.

I hate scout starts.

Checking in

Hmmm, you have both a Warrior and a Scout, what's wrong with that?

I like 1S unless Scout discovers something amazing. Also agree with the tech path, I think you can't go wrong with early BW, and I wouldn't commit to an Immortal rush without knowing more about the map

[Lewwyn]

There's a warrior... Yuris pays off.

[Commodore]

*poke* Anything yet? Who you gonna Immortalize?

[Lewwyn]

Yeah not much yet. It's unfortunate but I have still been busy, but worse I came down with the flu so even when I was free IE: yesterday afternoon, I was feverish and having delusional dreams.

I've been watching Buffy the vampire slayer... In my dreams I was slaying. Really fucking wild.

This has happened before. One time in high school I got sick had these fever dreams and I was playing Counterstrike in my dreams. A specific map even. That reloaded when I got shot or killed everyone. And each game was different.

So yeah went I get sick shit gets weird. Whatever my current obsession is comes to life.

About the game? It's a turn a day atm mostly because of me. Sorry guys. I've explored a bit is all.

[Lewwyn]

So we've only gone about 10 turns. My worker finished and I started the Corn farm. BW is teching, and will finish perfectly. The worker finishes the farm then moves onto the forest and the next turn its able to chop. Love perfect tech to worker micro.

I haven't met anyone yet.

Pictures later on. Still a bit routine atm. And of course I'm still super busy IRL. Its funny, I have time to play all my turns, but reporting is a bit more of a challenge.

[Commodore]

So I hear you were in a war. Did you kill them with fists both righteous and harmonious?

[Lewwyn]

Indeed I wanted to. I seriously considered keeping it always war... but I figured it best to lull them with a sense of security.

I have a few pics for updates.

I have met both NobleFart and #7. MacTruck still is out there. The interesting thing is that both of the ones I've met came from the same direction within 3 turns of each other.

Here's a look at the area in T12:




I have copper readily available. And that might be my 2nd city to the East except that it is back line... Maybe I'll go north instead to counter my opponents.

T14:


I finished that 2nd worker. Both workers are currently chopping. The overflow from the worker went into the settler and then I switched to the warrior and finished the warrior. The 2 chops will complete the settler. I will build warriors while the chops finish and after the settler builds. Then grow and whip a second settler. I'm also continuing to chop. Apparently I'm the only one at 2 pop right now everyone else has grown to 3. I don't care my micro plan is solid.

I got AH finished this last turn, and found horses on the plains 2 NW-1W of the Capitals corn. There's also a fish off coast 2nd ring to a city 1 south of the horses. But honestly I think my first city should be north on that isthmus to block my north opponents. Maybe next to the sheep and forests so I can chop out of that city too.

I am teching Wheel>pottery now. I need granaries to take advantage of the whipping I'm going to do. Lots of whipping... Going to get the Ivory hoooked up after 2 more chops + if I go north I can get the furs. 1st city north, 2nd city copper, 3rd city horses.

Looks like I won't be rushing anyone. I want to leverage IMP instead.
