New Civilizations ( OOC, Always Open, Reboot )

Commercial Hubs, Traders, and Luxury Resources. Improved Gems are perhaps the easiest way to get ahead. An early profitable trade route is also valuable.

Luther may have to cut his trade adventure short to use his power and wealth to unite the Fertile Crescent to fight the Horse Spawn.

Swordsmen have 36 melee strength. Spearmen have 25 and Warriors 20. Your tech puts you way head in military score.

Where did you get those stats?

Ya spears are actually generally more powerful for untrained units to fight with. Sure, trained military units with sword sword and shield do very good against spearmen, but you could as easily give them stabbing spears as swords. That being said, highly trained+armored swordsmen can definitely prove extremely successful. One of the main reasons that swords were so important in the old world was the style of fighting- often the lines would break and fight individually, instead of holding centered and ramming each person in front of them down. That's the understanding I have at least, it's possible I misunderstand something in there.

I should clarify - my last few posts have been joke posts using Civilization 6 stats. They have no bearing on actual gameplay.

Pretty much, yep. Spears are great because you have reach on an enemy, and, working in formation, they are much preferable for holding a shield-wall.

Swords, however, are generically the better option for single combat, or when lines lock/break. Ditto fighting axes. A spear is useless if you are fighting someone up close, and then you want a cutting shortsword ala a gladius or falcata.

Spears are also really nice for fighting in on walls or barricades

Take your Saka's and rot

Where did you get those stats?

They're the stats from Civilization 6

I'm currently playing as the Mongolians. My Keshiks saw a brief period of use to conquer the Egyptians before they became obsolete. I wish UUs had a longer period of relevance :/

Anyways I edited my post. Instead of invulnerability Jason used the power of bullshit to barely save his own hide. Hope that's sufficient. No idea when my fourth is going up, the week is gonna be hella busy.

Agreed haha I'm working on my second, but not sure if I need to jump ahead or not and how far.

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

Here's hoping for a positive event to fire now that my third post is out.

[Kelmet]

At this rate my second post will have to cover a lot.

Mine will probably cover at least six months, seeing how far behind we are.

To be fair, that's really the only way to do it, as we have seen some people are into there 3-4 posts while others are on 1.

Everyone else is starting grand civilizations, and all my character is doing is introducing hunter-gatherers to the concept of germ theory.

It's like one of those tourist t-shirts: “I went to 3000 BC Japan and all I got was this lousy pottery.”

The only thing Clara introduced to date is writing and recordkeeping, so don't feel too bad about yourself. Your character isn't the only poorly-skilled one.
