Lexis Nexis - My Kobayashi Maru

[LexiSilva]

-Thank you Bobchillingworth for this map-

This is my Kobayashi Maru situation - a scenario that is unwinnable but shows character more than skill!
I have no clue what this map will hold, and if it will be even close to possible for me to have a chance.

Here we go!



Well, f*** off Bob! (No, really, this is great). A three tile island, no food bonuses (accessible at start), only one forest! I have never played the Ottomans before but they have... the Wheel and Agriculture. God-darned.
And I am Caesar, Organized and Imperialistic. The only advantage I see is Org.'s half production of lighthouses, which are a must!

I will settle in place and start researching Fishing, so I can grab the fish. (I named the city Bob's Hell for obvious reasons) Until fishing comes in, I will start on a barracks.
4 turns, not bad. Now go to sailing to find better land, and start a Work Boat so actual food can roll in! Looks like in in the South, so just sail north and good land is a coming!



I just found this; at least Raging Barbs will slow down the EMPEROR AI's while my island is completely safe. Tons of jungles, not much land, and not many turns to fight!

Stay tuned next time for this hell!

Nice map! At least the first few techs are obvious. Why put hammers into a barracks instead of a second warrior? It probably doesn't matter, but the games where I've gotten to the mid game and though "oh crap I have way too many warriors" number essentially zero. And to win this you'll need every single hammer to be important, perhaps.

Good luck!

Thank you! I figured start for more advanced troops while I don't need any.

Resource icon and tile yields on please.

Is that a plains hill cow????2 food and 4 hammers improved?

Can you link the savegame Bob sent? I'd be interested to give this a go myself.

This should be an Adventure.

+10 points to whomever gets the reference with link to relevant material.

Anyone attempting an "Unwinnable" civ game should read that thread. Unfortunately the pictures have gone, but the starting island was nothing but tundra and hills. No tile provided more than 1 food except a few ()less than 4) tiles. Anyone with a working copy of that game can still open the save and take screenshots.

Goodluck Lexi!

Do you have a connection to Lexus Nexus or is that just a play on words?
