So I decided to open up the editor and generate a map, which I would then tweak accordingly. Sure, I could be nearing the end of the tech tree, but without those, rubber, and uranium, things quickly grind to a dead-end. The second and third time, I wasn't even playing with AI, I was just refining my stratagem, but it turns out that the (new for me) requirement of resources to build those magical railroads is something of a massive setback. I had yet to learn that the カメ(Kame) strategy of citybuilding wouldn't work.

Which was indeed an embarrassing loss due to the fact that I was practicing on Chieftain with no barbarians. The first time I was timed out and lost against a non-aggressive Spain due to a Time Out. So as someone who has spent more time with FreeCiv and SMAC and now having a 0-3 record in Conquests, I have to wonder if I'm doing something wrong, or if the game's dice suck.Īll three of my failures are due to failing to find critical resources.
