There's not much reason to leave a scout in a key position, if you aren't going to assume that an attack is coming when he gets killed. It seems ipecac won't be expecting that attack at all.

BTW, OT6metra are crazy... lol

The amount of confusion OT6metra have caused this game has been a real treat to read about. Can't wait for them to get the circumnavigation movement bonus :D

I'm pretty sure Vikings with C-nav are the scariest thing. Ever.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

To those who haven't read older games: get circumnav, then pile CR Amphibious Zerks onto 4-move galleys and you can devastate pretty much anyone. And if you play your cards right, you can hang on to them, upgrade, and end up with CR3 Amphibious Rifles (or Grens) coming off 6-move galleons in the next era for your next war. A dedicated beeline renders it basically undefendable, and bam you've easily won two wars in consecutive eras. That's the manual on playing Vikings. Vikings on water maps == Vanilla Civ4 Cossacks.


The thing is... this requires you getting to those techs at a reasonable pace and only then wrecking your neighbors, not crashing your economy on gainless wars all over the place. That said, unpredictable wars all over the place make for A+ entertainment value.

I wish RB had like, a front page or something, because this beautiful screenshot needs to be shared with the masses and enshrined forever.




It's like, wow! Damn, what a devastating alpha-strike! These guys got this game in the bag!

...and then you notice the +1gpt at 0% science... dancing

Galleys with the speed of transports...who needs Zerkers? Win with chariots.
