Stalin is Most Glorious Leader[spoilers]

[Molach]

This post is just fluffy fluff.

In case one of the other opponents clicks my thread.

By accident or "accident"

I actually clicked Old Harrys thread and read first post, before realizing that this was that lurker-ranking-start thing and that I was actually playing

So not really accident, more "accident" due to extreme Molachian idiocy.

Such is life.

So how to downplay my greatness in this game?
Let me count the ways..

1. I forgot I was playing this, so 'casual' would be the first way.

2. I can't do a proper leader ranking, because I just don't know much about anyone. So 'clueless' is second.

3. I sim to turn 20 or so, after that can't be bothered. What happens happens. 'Lazy'.

4. Something about poor strategy. If having no strategy count as hogh as poor. 'Aimless'

5. Passivly lets neighbours get away with aggressive settling, farmers gambits, killing a mutual neighbour without interfering. 'Passive'

6 - 10. See point 3.

No BFC yet, but:

Molach

Shaka Celtic
Hatshepsut Incan
Louis XIV Dutch

[Molach]

This looks easy. Trap suspected.

Inca is awesome, culture from granaries! Except if you're creative.
Que's are awesome in SP and meh in mp.
Spi is a good trait for pro's, so not for me.
Techs are decent, can go for early religion if 2-agri start without bad things happening.

Shaka of celts is good for rushing.
But I suck at that.
Also starting techs...yeah. No.
Also I play them in pb27.

So Louis of Dutch. Unit is good but late. Building is good but late. Techs are good usually.
This is probably best. If im lucky not many IND picked.

Hashish of Inca close second, with double grain. Spi means I can have fun juggling civics. But sadly BtS civics aren't balanced as well.

And Shaka is good pick, just not interested in going there. Maybe tomorrow.

Mr. Molach can you answer "Molach is who again?"

[Molach]

It is slightly start-dependant. 90% Louis, 10% Hatty, 0% Shaka.

And thanks for praise, Ichabod. I like praise.

[Commodore]

New sets; if yours have worsed, it's because your position is better!

Molach
Gilgamesh Aztec
Alexander Carthaginian
Stalin Mongolian

[Molach]

Are you sure you've got the right player here?

Anyway. Stalin of mongolia's techs fit best with start. Which isnt saying much....

[Molach]

Mongol uu+ub are also good, better than carthage for devastating first strikes. Aztec ub is good.

But all my leaders have a junk trait, agg or pro. And other trait is definately not super. Best is cre, but why start with myst if cre. Also pro is worse than agg. slightly.

I think....Ill choose Stalin. Thinking on this for 10 hours or so.
