Actually, I had planned to primarily maintain the story here and only give summaries in civforum (https://www.civforum.de/showthread.php?1...-Wettkampf). In the end, I already have several posts in civforum, so there will probably be more translations here.
"Since a Big and Small map is planned, I'm actually quite happy with Scandinavia. Secretly, I was hoping for Genghis Khan from Zulu. Stalin, Churchill or Catherine all only half inspire me. I would also like to have the following traits in this order IMP, AGG, ORG, SPI and PRO. It's not clear yet if you have to select everything or if you can select only Civ or only Leader. In that case, I'd probably keep Scandinavia and try my luck again with the leaders. Otherwise, I could also make friends with Catherine." If I start in the small part, Vikings could be really strong, especially if you get an ORG leader. The game is played on Monarch, which is why I see IMP as an expansion trait and half an economy trait, and why I see it as my favorite trait here. With CHA, CRE, FIN, on the other hand, I am not very fond of them. In bold my choice for the options of the other players (regardless of their preferences). Gavagai is Huayana Capac OR Hannibal OR Victoria of Maya Superdeath is Frederick OR Louis XIV OR Asoka of Native America Greenline is Mao Zedong OR Mansa Musa OR Lincoln of Persia Magic Science is Ramassess II OR Willem van Oranje OR Ragnar of Mali Commodore is Justinian I of Carthage Dreylin is Mehmed II OR Gilgamesh OR Montezuma of Portugal Plemo is Stalin OR Churchill OR Catherine of Scandinavia Scooter is Pericles OR Elizabeth OR Washington of Japan Bing is Alexander OR Napoleon OR Lieu Ye (ORG/PRO) of Babylon Piccadilly is Tokugawa OR Sitting Bull OR Bismarck of India Miguelito is Hatsheput OR Darius OR Roosevelt of Egypt Tarkeel is San Martin (CRE/CHA) OR Julius Caesar OR Isabella of Germany General Kill Cavalry is Nebuchadnezzar (PHI/IND) OR Hammurabi OR Suleiman of France GT is Brennus OR Kublai Khan OR Charlemagne of Zululand Pindicator is Shaka OR Zara Yaqob OR Saladin of Sumeria Hubabl is De Gaulle OR Augustus Caesar OR Qin Shi Huang of Khemer Xist10 is Pacal II OR Wang Kon OR Cyrus of Rome Donovan Zoi is Boudica OR Genghis Khan OR Suryvarman II of Inca Amicalola is Gandhi OR Peter OR Joao II of Arabia ![[Image: REN667D.png]](https://imgur.com/REN667D.png)

"No matter if I research mining followed by bronze or before that agriculture, my BT is unemployed for a few turns. There is one exception, but it is quite risky and depends on the explored hinterland, the demo and the proximity of the neighbors. Build settler on Pop2 and send the worker along to the new city.
An alternative could have been Catherine, since I would have already had the second culture expansion. But that is no longer possible. I still want to test settlers first and how many turns the worker has idle. Should the second city have direct trade routes via the coast, PRO is particularly interesting, since the city would then mean a net gain of 4-5 gold."
Now that the election is final, I can make a very subjective ranking of the players, based mainly on the assessment of the leaders/civ and as far as available on the knowledge of the players.
Some players have naturally rather tendencies to the next higher group while others are rather positively evaluated. I will write more about individual players and/or combos. Tier 1 (players who should contain the winner under normal circumstances): Gavagai, Commodore, Plemo, Miguelito, Tarkeel, Pindicator. Tier 2 (players with potential, but who need neighborhood help to win): Amicalola, Magic Science, Dreylin, Scooter, Piccadilly, Donovan Zoi. Tier 3 (rest): Superdeath, Hubabl, Greenline, Bing, General Kill Cavalry, GT, Xist10. My favorite combos are Julius Caesar of Germany, Kublai Khan of Zululand and Zara Yaqob of Sumeria. |
