I always shook my head about the 'no reload' attitude..as you said, playing it for fun, reloading after overseeing some diplo detail does no harm at all..Admirable how you fielded all these knights in only 10 turns.

[@henrik9658]

forges and irrigated farms make a huge difference for city production, allowing knights to be whipped for 2 population every 4 turns per decent city pretty much!

[@migueldelmazo5244]

Now, I'm curious as to how fast Henrik can beeline elephants and roll over the world.
To clarify: I mean for a fresh game.

[@henrik9658]

Haha I have done it several times especially on Immortal. They're pretty insane and are basically a win ticket for me if I get my hands on them

[@Archredbeard]

1 reload in the last 10 games or more, dont be so harsh on yourself, seriously.

I find it really interesting how at a glance, civ4 seems to favor the defender with defensive bonuses and getting to pick the best defender, but siege just overturns that completely and makes the attacker so much stronger.

[@henrik9658]

Yes unless one unit kills all the siege

[@_mwk]

@@henrik9658 Would sacrificing one knight maybe be worth it, hammer-wise, to scratch the longbow? Like 2 catapults > 2 trebs, if he's the only unscratched longbow, throw 1 knight at 20% who will probably do half health instead of 3 more trebs who only have 2% and only a small chance to scratch?

[@henrik9658]

@@_mwk you might be onto something here, it probably has much better odds than the trebs. With the super high base strength it will have 20% at worst. Going to try this next time. it was pretty terrible with a few catapults and 6 trebs doing absolutely nothing to it.

I’ve never won a game where Charley spawns on another continent, he always ends up with 2-3 vassals lol

[@henrik9658]

He's an absolute bastard to deal with, consistently expands well and techs decently and is exceptional at pumping out a ton of units. Look how quick he rebuilt his armies! He was a monster in several of my series such as deity 61 which seemed hopeless

[@nice_toes_xx]

@@henrik9658that deity 61 game was brutal I remember that, probably your best win imo

[@satchmofan1]

I like these fast play games! Can you do one on immortal for space race or diplo?

[@henrik9658]

it depends how i feel, there's a crowd that prefer each slower and faster games.

[@satchmofan1]

@@henrik9658 Either speed I'd take these 2 victory conditions because I don't really know how to do it on higher levels.
