In my games, Monty is a bit of a wildcard. Sometimes he's only aggressive vs. his neighbours and in others, he'll DoW everyone randomly trying to get one sided peace treaties. Eventually he gets run over due to not having a decent tech rate for newer units. It's the same with Alex. The main issue when he's across the map is figuring out if he'll break trades/RAs to do it.

@lijinr

Unfortunately I don't save the initial maps and have already started a few new games since recording this one.

The Berserkers are awesome. They are on the LS path with upgrade to another special promotion unit. Effectively they're a knight++++ unit, without the drawbacks. The UA is sweet actually. Makes exploration and city defense/assault pretty easy if it's near water. Shy of a highlands/etc map, there's always water near some cities.

@Furycrab

at the moment... I'd say Babylon, Denmark, Arabs, Siam (not an ordered list) and hmm... there's a few ties for #5. Inca, Mongols (for the Keshik/Khan) and some others would be in there. It all depends on if you go for the VC that the civ should be going for.

@FalseNomen

yeah, he's like that in all of my games as well. A little fighting up front, then mass expansion followed by having mass science/gold/etc to do nasty things.

@tuubatuubi

As stated, I really dislike starts where I'm not on a hill with my capital. Especially for this zone, the cultural borders would have expanded into all those flood plains rather than the production heavy area. So my production would have sucked for most of the game. That, and there's desert over in that direction, which is useless unless it comes with oil or iron.

Hahaha beat the arabs literally not figuratively

Request for future videos: Could you turn on the scoreboard in the top right showing the scores of all Civs? It's in Options, I believe in Interface options.

If you don't like keeping it on could you toggle occasionally?

Could you explain why you were disappointed in getting that social policy before completing the research on Philosophy? Thanks.

1 person got DOW'd by Monty after signing an RA.

@TennysonXII Oops! Haha. Thanks.

@RedClyde That's a "double/triple lux start" and yes, he means luxury resources :)

Monty is nowhere near as annoying in Civ V as he is in Civ IV, and unlike in Civ IV he's often a really bad techer in Civ V. Never have issues dealing with him and rarely have to adjust my strategy based on his presence.
