Game 180: Aztec Part 1

[@BlazingAzureTheta]

Would you say its better to bother settling additional cities even if your forced into completely crap lands? Like, you have a decent capital but because you ended up in a corner and someone beat you to settling you're stuck back settling in tundra/snow.

AzureTheta Please answer this, Filthy. I've been wondering myself.

[@FilthyRobot]

AzureTheta There's no one answer. You need to be competitive in science and population drives science. If you have the happiness to support more expands and have the land and time to do it, you ought to

@FilthyRobot What do you think about not building Scouts for Aztecs (and other factions with generic movement bonuses like Inca) and instead building your Warrior replacement? The idea of scouts is to explore and the warrior replacements seem to do just fine if they get a full 2 move through the majority of terrain. The main problem I've found with this tactic is that the warrior replacements take longer to build and it throws off pottery/shrine timing, but on the flip side, I have a more durable scout and can score some quick culture where I usually would not.

[@FilthyRobot]

faerellg I like at least 1 real scout.

FilthyRobot In which situations is it good to go Great Library?

[@wongnigel1158]

SmelsLikeBanana when no one goes for it lol (40 turn no one has tech)

[@SmelsLikeBanana]

hm, how do you know nobody has the tech? :p

[@wongnigel1158]

The tech score (in demographics) start accumulating when you research Writing, the tech required. So when you see the average is 0%, you know no one has the tech. (btw do you play on mp or sp, cuz you can NEVER get Great Library when you play single player.)

[@harrykrewson]

wong nigel only on immortal and deity is it impossible to get GL. Emperor and below it's pretty easy.

[@wongnigel1158]

I guess i don't play low level :0. However when I first get the game I play on King and Emperor, GL went at turn 27- 35 on quick pace. (Some AI love GL)

[@IamHobs]

If you look at the turn count at the beginning, it starts at turn 0, not 1.
