IMPI MADNESS

[Tasunke]

I've struck upon the idea of using IMPIS during the age of gunpowder (or even rifles/ grenadiers), and therefore I think it would make for an interesting VARIANT, similar, in a sense, to the Planar Gate variant, except that its in BTS and not FFH2 ....

(similar in the sense that you will want Economic superiority in order to compensate for your Military maladroitness)

----> The idea is to use Mass-Stacks of Impis to kill things like Musketmen, Longbows, etc .... preferably with AMPLE siege support. At some point I will probably just turn off research (or at least not research key obsoleting techs, such as Engineering), and go from there.

I guess, ONE way to KEEP Engineering while allowing for Impis would be to make sure I have no iron? (at least from Engineering onwards) ... ?

Could be a succession game if anyone wants to join in, otherwise it will become another Solo report.

Settler difficulty?

[Tasunke]

Hmm, I havent really tried Settler difficulty before ... so I don't see why not ... might make the game a bit more interesting :P

(and if not, can always replay on Noble difficulty)

[flugauto]

If settler, then no catapults. And no techs beyond basic worker techs, maybe even no BW.

AIs will take 10 (real) yrs to reach maces at settler.

[flugauto]

10 TURNS and they have maces? Settler too stronk.

[Tasunke]

Can't have Impi's w/o BW I think ...

and Noble or something in the middle is fine.

[flugauto]

We have to buy copper.

[Tasunke]

Nope Nope Nope .... I mean, if u want to do that, pure fine ... but I'm totally fine with some really cheap Settler game where we get Fascism for Mt. Rushmore, and Constitution for Jails, and we just avoid Pikes/ Gunpowder/ et al .... (or at least w/e Pikes upgrade into)

The whole point of Settler difficulty would be to turn the game into (can I combat WW enough to send even MOAR impis to their deaths)
