Jungles or tundra are regular reasons for my group to re-load a new game, because experience tells us a good start spot can mean the difference between death and survival once you get to the medieval era. Terrain is more important than the leader or civ you choose. Moving onto starting location this in my opinion is critical and can be the deciding factor in my experience. Me and the other player just accept this is his style, he plays too slow and too conservative to ever really threaten the top civs (AI or human) so he's not really exploiting an 'easy victory' civ/leader combo. Celtic walls (Dun) are also better than standard walls. Occasionally he goes Robert the Bruce (charismatic and protective), again so that he gets the AI relations boost and the nice defensive protection.

So he always goes Moshoeshoe to lessen the chance of an AI declaring war, this also gives him the breathing space to expand slow and steady and concentrate on his 'builder' play style. He hates wars and prefers to build slowly and concentrate on developing his cities. One of my group religiously goes Moshoeshoe of the Nguni because of his traits (charismatic and politician) for the +3 relations boost with the AI. So anything I mention here is based on the latest SVN experience. We play on the SVN version, usually within 10 versions of the most up to date, depending on how our game is going and how often we play. Is Sejong Taewang really 'the easiest' leader to play for someone focusing on economy and technology? When the first player asked to change one setting he disliked, the other one demanded that he switch to another leader in return - but the first one decided he would rather play with the option he disliked than choose another leader.Īnd there's me - listening to all of this (and getting slightly tired) and trying to ask for your opinion. Of course it's all friendly and they always cooperate in game. First one doesn't think he's choosing 'the easiest leader' and 'the easiest location possible' and thinks that those Sejong's traits do not impact the gameplay that much. He doesn't forbid the first player from playing Sejong, but thinks that achieving the good score with such leader and with such economy-focused gamestyle is just easier and thus presents less real challenge. The second one accuses the first one of choosing 'the easiest to play' leader (considering the prirorities and style of his gameplay, so he doesn't for example consider militaristic traits as being the easiest because that player does not focus on conquest) and 'the easiest terrain to play' and considers it as being 'quite lame' and 'choosing the easiest possible way to victory'. He also prefers peaceful gameplay with focusing more on the economy, but he is not picky and can play on almost any starting location.Īnd they are arguing about the first player's playing style. He doesn't actually care about UUs or UBs and choose leader with acceptable traits (they doesn't have to be perfect and actually he said he could play with any leader as long as he's Egyptian). Then there's another player who is stubborn and always plays Egyptians just because he 'loves ancient history and that civilization'.

When playing A New Dawn he was always choosing Mansa Musa also because of his financial traits - considered by some Civ players as overpowered and banned from multiplayer. For example - if there's no river or he sees tundra somewhere on the horizon - he demands to start again on a new map. It's also very important to him to have a good starting location - actually he was changing it so often we finally introduced a 'only one change of map per human player allowed' rule (and still he almost always denies to play on the first map generated because 'it's not good enough'). He says that Sejong's traits fit perfectly his playing style. He likes to focus on economy and doesn't engage in aggressive wars very often. There's one player who always chooses him because of his traits (financial and progressive). Let me explain the situation - there are three of us and we're arguing about Sejong Taewang. Hi everybody, I'd like to ask for your opinion.
