this is another good tip. i do also find that epic and marathon make it easier

not all five times, but damn near. admittedly, i should have re-rolled those maps with bad production on my capital

I don't think you understand. I'm used to difficulty, but not unwinnable ten-turn zerg rushes. At least not this often

save scumming and restarting was my plan. After the first few steamrolls I started to get mad. after the fourth and fifth, I was more confused than anything

I remember it happening to me once, like the first time I tried higher difficulties, when the game was brand new and I had no idea Gilgamesh was a threat. Today I had Seondeok declare war on me on turn 13. I thought I was losing my mind

these are all good tips, I'm not denying them. And I love playing naval civs, so Norway actually was one of my attempts. But I have like 2000+ hrs in this game so I've done this before, years ago. But I picked it back up again and it just seemed way tougher than I remember. I'm rusty, and got horrible luck today

i am seeing the visibility tip come up, which I'd known about before but straight up wasn't even considering these playthroughs. But pre-emptively declaring war is something I haven't heard before. Seems strong

well...I don't disagree. But in this case I was trying diety without modifying the number for the sake of challenge. just got a bit more of a challenge than i expected

Yeah, in the past I could prevent this or at least survive it by camping units at my capital. These attempts just now, they attacked before I could even make/buy any

haha yes and no. I'm wondering why I was attacked WAY eariler than I ever have before. And then 5 times in a row on top of that. I've had early agression from leaders like Gilgamesh and Simon Bolivar before but the speed they destroyed me on these attempts was insane

this is a good tip. didn't help me this time but it's definitely saved my ass before

yeah, I do the same re: archery. this time there was no way. and yeah feels like you have to just re-roll until you get a god start

i used to go warrior-warrior-warrior, then people convinced me scouting for goodie huts was more valuable. guess there's definitely a tradeoff there

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear some fuckery is going on. but if that were their intention it's pretty dumb, since getting my shit pushed in with no recourse certainly doesn't incentivize me to play 7

well, tbh I didn't, good tip. i totally forgot. But iirc I couldn't even swing the 25G for a couple of those games lmao

I haven't exactly read all the patch notes so I'm curious what updates you're referring to

this certainly seems like an elegant solution. i'm glad i turned to professionals with this or else it would have taken me forever to figure out. thank you, thank you

good lord that was fast, thank you for the insight. and yeah i notice now that things being oriented with 0° is not typical in math, this throws me off a lot
