GeneralKilCavalry BUGs his way to victory

[GeneralKilCavalry]

KRILL IS SPOOPY.


this map is very tiny and I should probably have prepared a warrior rush, or started with Mali, teched skirmishers, and sent 2 out to my two nearest neighbors.
But, unfortunately, I'm not a complete asshole.

Is that a grassland oasis?!

Is that a grassland oasis?!

it certainly looks like one, 5 food 3 commerce? that's a ridiculously strong tile.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

I'm gonna get that gold and he won't. Poopoo on you Krill.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Heh, I could be a piece of shit and block Krill's rice, but I don't want his vindictiveness when superdeath may well be my other neighbor.

Demos. I have the most sea tiles of any start, no one has had city growth, most have teched once or twice, #1 or tied in important stats.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Going to get boxed in by krill's nasty nastiness. Next settler towards copper and/or horse. Looks like I'll have to drag Krill down with me into the abyss...

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Should've settled copper first. I expected cairo to go after a better spot first, but he's plowing straight for the copper. GG. Krill also border popped, so all it'll take is a jaguar or axeman - I won't even see it coming.

Going to turtle for the rest of the game with that wonderful, delicious seafood.
HBR in ~19 turns.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Perhaps I should do IW instead. Risky either way...

[GeneralKilCavalry]

I hate this game but it's pretty much 95% my fault. The only thing that is not my fault is that iron is so tantalizingly close but not in my borders.

However, I've gotten a good streak of luck with taking out a bunch of forested axes, so now i can get chariots. To be fair though, I have no clue where I'm going to get them from, since I have absolutely no whip capacity left. Should've gone for EXP/CHM, yet another one of my dumb-dumb mistakes, which is a consequence of not realizing the size of the map.
stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

Should've settled city 2 on top of the copper, city 3 in the backlines working the capital's fish (it has too much food anyhow).
Gold was probably too risky of a play.
Also why doesn't Mr. Cairo invade me. It's kind of non-sensical to plant like that and then not capitalize on me fighting krill. a few swords and axes and he'd have my capital, krill would just get the floodplain/gold city.
