Adv 53 - CoCo's first

[coco]

My first Adv game, played it about a month ago, I'll write down what I remember and can tell from the HoF recap.

My strategy was to build alot of fast moving horse units and see how it worked out.

I teched some worker techs, ignored pottery and went for HR, BW and IW. Showed no Iron close. Priority nr 1 became capture Iron for knights.

I built a total of 3 cities, the last one around 1400 BC, before I started capturing barb cities with Horse Archers, a total of 3 barb cities (one with Iron if I remember right). I think I only farmed and mined everything for high production and ofc chopped out mostly Horse Archers. My building order for most cities were something like monument->barracks->HA/melee. 500BC I attacked Egypt, took 2 cities, noticed I needed cats. Redeclared and took Thebes 125AD (with SH), and finished Egypt off 300AD. Declared on Hannibal around 560AD and vassalised him on 860AD. Declared on Justinian 1020AD and vassalised them 1190AD. Next was Toku, declared 1280AD and captured four cities before 1360AD when I won a Domination Victory.

I think I managed to build/chop/draft/slave some Cavalary, Riflemen and Cannons in the end, but since there was no unit upgrading I still had a good number of Horse Archers, Knights and Cuirassiers, I think I even had some Chariots in the end.

Thanks for a fun game! I'll see if I manage to get a SS or two up.
