Introduction
Hey everyone, Essa Ryan here! Today, I want to discuss a challenging game mode that many of you have been asking me to try out. Enter the Late Game AI, a mod that provides the AI with powerful late game bonuses to simulate a more human progression. It's a mode that has been known to bring even the most seasoned players to their knees by turn 200 or 220. In this game, the AI is given massive bonuses after turn 180, making it incredibly difficult to keep up.
The Challenge of Late Game AI
The Late Game AI mod is designed to make playing against the AI feel like playing against a human opponent, with the AI starting weak in the early game and gradually growing more powerful over time. This means that in order to succeed, I need to be on top of my game and think strategically.
Playing as Norway for Domination
To tackle this challenging mod, I've chosen to play as Norway. The Norwegian civilization is well-suited for domination and pillaging, which will be crucial in keeping up with the AI's late game dominance. As Norway, I can focus on raiding and pillaging to gain resources and weaken my opponents, giving me an edge in this challenging game.
The Insane Difficulty Mode
To make things even more challenging, I've set the difficulty to "Insane." This mode is the hardest difficulty setting in the Late Game AI mod and is known to be nearly impossible to win. The AI tends to win on any victory condition, from science to domination to culture, by turn 200 or 220. It's essential for me to be at my best and adopt a strategic approach to have any chance of victory.
My Strategy for Victorious Pillaging
Given the AI's late game bonuses, my strategy will revolve around pillaging and raiding. As Norway, I can use Viking longships to attack and seize valuable resources from city-states and rival civilizations. Pillaging not only allows me to gain resources, but it also weakens my opponents and helps me level the playing field against the AI's considerable advantages.
Dealing with the AI's Late Game Bonuses
The key to success in this game is to stay ahead of the AI's late game bonuses. While the AI starts off weak, it gains significant power as the game progresses. To counter this, I must be proactive in my approach, expanding my empire, building a powerful military, and securing valuable resources through pillaging. By doing so, I can keep up with the AI and prevent it from running away with the game.
Exploring the Map and City-State Interactions
In addition to pillaging, exploration and city-state interactions are crucial elements of my strategy. As Norway, I have a unique ability to navigate through the sea and explore the map efficiently. By uncovering new areas and establishing relationships with city-states, I can gain valuable allies and resources that will aid me in my Quest for victory.
Choosing the Right Pantheon and Religion
Religion can play a significant role in the game, and choosing the right Pantheon and religion is essential. With the Late Game AI mod, it's crucial to strike a balance between military development and religion. While a religious victory might not be my primary focus, having a strong religion can still provide valuable bonuses and aid me in various ways throughout the game.
Balancing Economy and Military Development
Maintaining a strong economy is essential in the face of the AI's late game dominance. With pillaging as a primary strategy, I must ensure that I have a steady influx of resources and gold. Balancing military development and economic growth will be key to both defending against the AI's attacks and launching successful offensives.
Building a Strong Navy and Conquering Cities
Finally, to secure victory, I must build a formidable navy and conquer enemy cities. Viking longships will be my mainstay, allowing me to launch devastating attacks on unsuspecting opponents. By raiding coastal cities and pillaging key resources, I can weaken my enemies and gain a significant advantage.
Stay tuned as I embark on this challenging journey against the Late Game AI on Insane difficulty. Will I be able to overcome the odds and emerge victorious? Only time will tell!
