Community Challange: Beat Expert Bot with Settlers only

Post by aligator92 »

So today I had to relax from a chaotic game and decided to attempt something I was not sure was possible. Beating the AI in Discovery Age with nothig but my settlers and my explorer. I tried it on hard mode with British and was actually successful. So I decided to challange the community to try vs an expert AI.

Here are the rules:
Beat any expert AI
Stay in Discovery Age
No French
No Walls (AI has too much trouble with those)
I forgot to put Pioneers in my deck but I guess you can use that
No military units (This includes converted treasure guardians, units freed from treasures, ships, minutemen, fire pit warriors, warrior priests, desciples, envoys, native scouts, war dogs, other trainable units from your explorer and shipped animals. I might have missed something but you hopefully get my point. Only Settlers and Explorer)
No Handicap duh
No cheats duh

Good Luck!

I feel like the restrictions kinda take out the fun. It doesnt allow you to use that OP sioux age 4 villager card for example ;(

It is pretty easy against a hard bot but i think it is not possible against an expert bot. I used to do stuff like that when i was like pr 13 so micro might mix that up but due to the fact that the tc has 100% Multiplier against villagers it becomes impossible even with french vills i guess.

I have a better one—win solo vs 7 Experts +100% on a map without water #Aklak, but WITHOUT WALLS.

If anybody would like to just try it with a method given, I've got a funny way to do it, but beware, it takes ages xD

It's perfectly possible to kill an expert Indian AI if you use your elephants to constantly attack his villager, making sure he can never place a wonder or finish it. However, without using military units, I am not sure if you can take down his Town Center.

I think the AI doesn't garrison vills inside the TC when they are not directly attacked, hence you may just freely siege it with vills and harass their production and building placements. I wonder if you may prevent an Asian bot from aging in such a way... :hmm:
